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.

    I wish you all the best for your surgery next week. At present feeling good the lump is gone and its not very painful. Now home to recuperate. This is step 1 - more to come with the therapy. But feels good to have lump gone. 

    you take care xxx

    Wishing you all the very best Margiemoo. It will be fine although I understand the nerves. I will be having my surgery next week and I think about it all the time. Look forward to hearing an update from you. 

    Take Care xx

    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.
