We are lucky to have our men look after us I also have a "gem" with all the drama we have been through so far I think he has suffered more that me.

After 3 ops they have still not taken enough tissue so looks like after all that I will be having a mastectomy, will find out more on Wednesday.

Unfortunately we live 150ks from the closest McGrath Nurse and have been travelling 220ks for the operations and dr visits, so have not really had contact  face to face with anyone.

I am going to see the local GP today but as luck would  have it my usual dr is away for 3 wks so it will be a locum but just feel the need to talk to some one face to face, we are also thinking of going to the McGrath nurse 2morrow so I have someone to talk to and maybe get some answers before I see the surgeon on Wed, we just feel so disappointed with this outcome, how can you miss 3 times???????

Will keep you posted.

Hi Julianne

glad your feeling well after the surgery - hubby is right though - dont overdue it!

There is an old saying 'a good man is hard to find' - but it sure sounds like you found one.  But then again, I think he found a 'real gem' too!

Take care

Di  :)

Hello Di,

yes I do treasure him, he is outside working on the pergola now.  Keeps popping in to see if I need anything and make sure I am not over doing it.  He is a real country man, he believes men should work and women stay home to take care of the home and family and be happy.  You would be lucky to find another like my darling.

Oh and too boot his is good looking I was sure smiled upon when we met.

Anyway last night I cooked tea and felt good, but darling wont let me cook tonight, so we are just having basic pie with mash and vegies.  But I love that type of food, simple just like me.

My breast is starting to tingle a little but apart from that all is great.  I really dont even feel as though I have just had breast surgery.

Again being smiled upon with a brilliant surgeon and wonderful team.

bye for now

luv

julianne

Hi Jacqui,

I am not sure when results come in, my breast care nurse is coming on Wednesday and I think she will have lots of information for me then.  I have to go and see my surgeon next week as well. But did cook a nice meal for darling and me last night.  We had chicken kiev with baked vegies and brocilini with honey and balsamic vinegar.  Yum.  Tonight is a simple meal of pie with mash and vegies.  Darling doesn't want me to overdue it.

He is outside building the new pergola.  He is my hero.

Anyway luv will let you know how things go as I hear more.

by for now

Hi Julianne

glad everything is going well with you.  Just wanted to say.............OMG, treasure that man!!!!!  What a gem! 

Take care

Di  :)

Glad to hear your op went well and you are pleased with everything. When do you get the results?

I am working through my shock results but am looking at my options so have something to think about and can at least be doing something.

All the best

Jacqui

Hello to all,

thanks for writing back to me, I too remembered at 6.51am on my way to hospital on Tuesday morning, it was Robyn Williams.

Surgery went really well, everyone has commented on how brilliant, fantastic, great job, done on my right breast.  He had to move the nipple up and took more than he expected.  Then my anaethiast told me he had to give me double dose than normal cause apparently I kept wanting to come out of it.

Slightly uncomfortable, not much pain, but up and out of bed and doing just a small amount of work.  I made a salad sandwich for lunch and watched a bit of t.v., now writing to all you great gals.  My darling husband is following me like a hawk, and i think i will put a little extra effort to making him something special for dinner when I can do so.  He is just a heaven sent gem.  He is building the cover over the back porch that I have been asking for since 2007.  God love him, he is trying so hard to please me, more than he usually does.

Feeling a bit tired so off to bed with me, will write again soon

love to all

julianne

Hi Jo, well if my results are not clear this time I will not have a choice as this is the 3 op my poor boob has had, I was wondering if anyone else had gone with the BCS with removal of sentinel nodes and then had to have a mastectomy anyway....that was what I meant. The decision is really out of my hands now it is just the not knowing and waiting for the results I should have known today but looks like it won't be til tomorrow.

Thanks for your input.

Jacqui

My goodness you have had to face this nightmare x2, that is just so unfair. Did you think of reconstruction? if so was it your choice not to have it? Nosy aren't I? Thank you for sharing with me.
