post surgery
hi all,
It has been 2 weeks since my surgery and I decided to only go with a single masectomy. Very happy with the results as it still enables me to be semi indepentant.
It is very hard for me to...
All went well with the report from the surgeon. They got all of it which is great. 3 out of the 17 lymph nodes that were taken out came back positive.
The cancer measured a whopping 3.5cm. And in that there were 2 of them.
Having the fluid put in the expander was a different story though. Boy did that hurt a bit. And need to have 2 more sessions before they let it sit for 3 months. Nothing like pain killers to help me along the way.
The physio said that I need to move my arm a lot more to try to stop the lymphoma getting worse.
I have an appt with the oncologist next week to find out what they would reccommend, and then the following week I get some more saline in the expander.
And thus the journey is on a new path. :)
