Surgery

Hi Today I have my lumpectomy - after alot of testing this is my first step forward. I have mapping at 9am and then the op is booked for 1pm. I am nervous but will be happy tomorrow when my lump is gone. That is my first step. Then I will find out in coming weeks what therapy I will need after. Radiotherapy is definite - but perhaps chemo as well. I know I have tough times ahead but it does help reading everyones blogs and the encouragement that you all give. will let you know how it goes when I am back home.

    Hi Margimoo

    You'll be fine after the surgery.  I woke up without any pain at all, maybe the pain killer really work, but just weak after anasthetic, still ok, hungry.

    Take care and take pain killer if needed to make you feel better.

    I understand just how you're feeling!  I am waiting for surgery and am now getting anxious to have it done. The waiting is getting to me!

    All the best for a speedy recovery. xx
