On the way to recovery
So it's day 2 after my bilateral skin sparring mastectomy with tissue expanders, wow what a mouthful.
I have to say it wasn't as bad as I was anticipating, pain is bearable but the drugs are good, doc...

Hi Anne,
Sorry to hear of the set-back but glad to hear that you are healing well. Just remember to do your physio-type exercises and put cream on the scars [when allowed]. I used goats milk cream, others have used bio-oil, up to you . . . keep getting better, okay! I had so many questions to ask the Surgeon/Onc that I used to remember in the middle of the night [and couldn't remember in the morning - early onset of chemo brain?] so kept a notepad near the bed. Whatever works for you.
Remember that there are so many people here sending you healing thoughts, good luck, will be thinking of you on Monday
