Hi Donna

Glad things went well for you, that is another day over for you. I am wishing you well for the results.

I started on antibiotics today for an infected bee sting so I am still hoping the surgery will go ahead on Wednesday as planned.

I hope you will feel better soon.

Glad you are home and yes there really is no place like home!

Welcome to being a smurfette in disguise, my boob is still blue 3 weeks later LOL!

Rest, Recover, Restore and don;t be brave, keep the pain meds up, don't let the pain get on top of you!

Love and light

It wasnt too bad Brenda. But I ended up in Maternity lol. One baby born last night and one lady in labour! But yes, glad to be home to my own bed.

I bet you are glad to home. Get any sleep at all in the hospital last nite?

Saw Megan today and she said you were doing ok. She said I am booked for the 15th feb and now its booked out for the look good feel better workshop for then. Megan said she will see if you could go to the next one.

Hi Ladies I'm BAAAACK  :)

Well that was a long day. Firstly I was really relieved as i hardly felt the needles to the nipple (radioactive stuff and dye) or the local for the guide wire. I had surgery 24 years ago to both breasts because of massive abcesses caused by mastisis. We feel that there must have been nerve damage to have so little feeling there. 

I was finished an over at the hospital by 10am and 1pm on the operating table. I was to go home the same day seeing it was so early in the day, but the procedure took a little more than two hours. Not quite sure why it was longer, but they did take two nodes (possible 1 was lymph and one sentinel because they took up the dye well) and they took a large margin of the tumour (i have DD boobs so plenty to work with) I was a long time in recovery and didnt get back to the ward till 5pm and my bp was low, so I suppose it was better to stay there while my bp settled. I do not like the white stockings lol)

I have two wound sites (bugger was hoping for just one) and not too much discomfort. Managing fine with paracetamol and ibuprofen. My throat is sore this morning so I'm sipping juice and sucking on soothers. 

I have a blue boob!! LOL

I see the specialist in a week or two (they were still deciding how soon as they walked out the door this morning. I managed to escape the hospital about 11 YAY!

Funny thing, my bp in the weeks leading up to the surgery was moderately high. Its back to perfect. I guess its knowing that this little sucker is out of me and the treatment next is in the hands of the gods now. 

I'm so pleased to be home and to sleep in my own bed. I hate hospitals and I am a lousy patient. 

Thank you ladies for all your messages of support. Between you ladies and the amazing support I'm getting from family and friends, if this could be cured by positive thinking alone, none of us would have to go through these treatments xxxx

Hi Brenda. Dont know anything about it. But I'll be talking to Megan on Monday. I'm sure she'll let me know.

Hi Donna

i had the same op on 6/1 this year. Daunting though it is you will soldier on and get on with it just like us ladies do. The pillow is great although our 2 and a half yr old granddaughter thinks it's her pillow whenever she comes to play. I wore mine over my shoulder like a mini handbag and attached it to whatever I was wearing with a safety pin to stop it slipping down. Good luck and we are all here for any tips and advice whenever you need us. I had my first chemo session yesterday and so far everything is going ok. Take care
