Hi Christine, agree the site is so helpful. I have gathered a list of things that I have seen in threads that I hope will help, particularly with chemo and rad.
Recovering from surgery well, still a little tender. I will be trying scar fx on the scars once they heal. I got the shock of my life and fell apart the week before last. My surgeons receptionist called to say she wanted to see me sooner than the scheduled appointment, I asked why?; the margins were not clear and that you will need to be booked in for further surgery next week. Omfg!!!! I mentally prepared for the appointment, hubby and I went into the appointment expecting the further surgery talk. Surgeon advises clear margins etc etc I guess she saw from my jaw drop and was surprised. I let her know what her receptionists said all she could say is I have told her not to discuss outcomes. Now I'm over that initial shock on can focus on a mini holiday that we had planned last year, it's only 5 nights in qld, escaping the cold in tassie. Xx
