Rest and Pre Chemo Time
The second op I have had my doctor only took out 7 more Lymph Nodes and out of those only one had cancer present. I was in hospital until Saturday afternoon, and there were plenty of tears from me when my parents walked in on Friday, arriving from SA. The stay in hospital went smoothly, I experienced my first showers via a nurse, and was so greatful to be clean I didnt care! Only needed minimal pain care, paracetamol and ibuprofen. While I was in hospital I had the scans from pelvis to head, and that was unusual. As the dye went through I did experience the bizarre sensations it described on the information sheet even the slight feeling in the bladder, quite weird. I got out early, with portal in one side and quite a large cut under arm on other. Drain removed before I left, so far so good. I then went to have my heart and bone scans on different days, not painful thank god. Cant say Ive been sleeping well. I hate lying on my back. Last night I whoke up every second hour. My Mum helps me shower, just getting to stage today when I can dress myself, and went for half hour walk. It hurts to type, quite quickly, and so now I go. See the Endocrine Surg tomorrow for all results and remove bandage from under arm.XX Bel
