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
