Thanks Janey. hope you are ok. xx
Its 4am and we are up getting ready to go.
Im so nervous i could vomit now :(
See you all on the flip side ?
- Hi Jodie, Just got home from hospital and saw your post. Fantastic result for you. I have noticed the different in you by your comments here. Even though you are still scared, there is a positiveness sneaking through. You even made a comment 'doable'. That's absolutely fantastic Jodie. See how far you've come. You'll be helping new 'scared' pink ladies very soon. New you could do it. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow (today I should say, it's passed midnight!) Love and hugs Janey xxx
Thanks Paula. I found a bit of strenght today, strenght I didnt know was lurking xx
- Great news. Remember that feeling so well. After that horrible waiting for met scans, then the great news the rest became very doable. Good luck. Paula :)
Im with you every step of the way too xxx
Tomorow night it will all be done for us.
We can do this lovely xxx
Thanks Deanne,
I haven't had an operation for 18 years now and the last one was on an eye that turned down, thyroid eye disease, It is straight now, I'm more nervous about the injections into my breast tomorrow morning, I know it will take seconds but I don't like needles much. After that I don't care what they do really, I'll be asleep. Well I do and it is false bravado but it is keeping me somewhat sane.
Jodie, we will be fine and we will chat and compare notes on the flipside :) Remember I'm holding your hand in spirit, you can squeeze all you want.
CasI don't know :) It will depend on many things. What they find, how much they have to dig around, how well my stitches heal, whether there is any infection or if I have to have drains for fluid. I've been told anywhere up to 3 nights but I don't particularly like hospitals so the stay will be until they get tired of me asking if I can go home yet :) You know in the "are we there yet?" kind of tone .....ha!
I'm Carolyn Seymour-Allan if you want to phone. Which hospital are you going to be at?
Cas (you can see why I am known as Cas Allan, the full name is a mouthfull)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.
