Tram flap ???

I finished my chemo 28th June but continued having my three weekly Herceptin right up to my surgery on 10th Sept. I was due to have Herceptin again two days after I got home from hospital but I postponed it to the following week when I was more able to go in to hospital again. The first month of recovery was hard and there was quite a bit of pain in my tummy and a burning sensation in the middle of my breasts. I certainly had my down times when it all seemed to be too much. But I was able to manage with regular 4 hourly paracetamol during the day without fail and an Endone to help me get comfortable at night. I didn't sleep well at all but I haven't slept well since I started treatment so that's not surprising. What helped me was to get up and do my exercises and walk for 10 minutes whenever I could manage it. At least half a dozen times during the day. Even if it was just up and down the hall way and our verandah. I kept drinking plenty of water to keep hydrated and I massaged my scar areas with bio oil and Shea butter twice a day. I was walking more upright before long and got back on to my treadmill for half an hour of gentle walking everyday. I'm now three months out and I'm really feeling good (apart from a rotten cold at the moment). I still have a sore tummy on my right side and it's quite hard there but getting better. My breasts are tender but not sore and no more burning sensation. The best thing is that I don't need to wear a bra anymore. Yay! I will need revision surgery to get rid of some lumps and bumps but I have to wait until mid to late next year. I developed a DVT in my right calf and some clots moved to my lungs causing Pulmonary Embolisms which was a bit scary. This means I have to have Clexane injections everyday to keep my blood thin and my Plastic Surgeon won't do the revision until this issue is sorted. Exercise is really important to keep in your daily routine and I was going well with some weight bearing exercises and walking on my treadmill but then I cracked two ribs in a fall so I having been able to exercise at all for the past three weeks. But that's okay, I'll get back to it soon. I'm looking forward to a nice Christmas and putting this year behind me. Wow I didn't realise I'd written so much and rattled on. You could have just looked at my posts and found this out. Sorry about that. Cheers Janey xxx
