scared
This is my first blog today, i was diagnosed onthe 5th Oct iv'e had the lump and lymph nodes removed and today i find out if the mass they found is affected if so a mastectomy for me! yay!. Tomorrow...
Forum Discussion
I think that when I had the initial lumpectomary and lymph node removal it hurt to breather, move etc. But mention it to your DR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I too had 2 seromas- they felt like I hadnt fed the baby in days!
The masectomy is nowhere as painful at the lymph node removal, I think more the emotional pain attatched.I was only in hospital overnight with the masectomy and had the district nurse come to me for the drain maitenance.
Take each step as it comes, rely on your support people when you have to.
I have to admit, for the psychological side of it, I get frustrated at the well meaning people who say things but dont understand if they have never been through the same experience. So use this forum to question, vent, emapthise etc. BCNA is a tower of strength!
good luck for Friday.
