Hi Jodie,
I found the masectomy not too bad at all. Healed quickly. Now, the node clearance was for me a littlle different. I had 20 lymphs taken, 3 of them affected. It wasn;t more painful, more like a tightness, which I have to this day. I am aways aware that I have to be more careful with the arm. I also have some numbess running down the back of the arm.

- I'm having an axilliry clearance. Is that more painful than the actual mastectomy?
- Try and think that the cancer will be gone when you wake! That's how I thought of it and it helped me to keep calm. xx
This time tomorow it will be over.
well that part of my journey xxxx
- That's great news!Seriously,don't worry about the mastectomy.Its not as bad as you imagine.I will be thinking of you tomorrow alsoxxx
Im so nervous. 2 operations in 1 week for me and I hate being put to sleep like that.
then when i wake up my boob is gone. I feel ok about it but I get a funny feeling in my tummy when i think about it.
Im guessing thats normal xx
- Great to hear you got the all clear. I had to wait 4 days for my results from the scans. That was difficult as it went over the Mother's Day weekend. Glad you got your results so quickly! Will be thinking of you and Cas tomorrow. Good luck to both of you. Deanne xx
