Still recovering.
Hello all.
still recovering from my recent surgery. Right mastectomy nearly four weeks ago now. The last few days I have been feeling like I am slowly getting there. Not so sore now. Amazing how the spirits lift when you feel so much better. Time stands still for awhile after surgery and sadness creeps in and out. Seeing my surgeon soon for my follow up appointment. Will only be discussing future medication now instead of more surgery. Prescribing tamoxifen for me as my cancer was hormone positive. Hoping for few side effects so I can cope with my recovery from this nightmare a little better. One step at a time again. Time to think about what I want to do in six months time. At least spring has sprung so the outlook on life is brighter with nicer days of sunshine and time spent outside.

Very personal journey but nearly every time I read a post I can almost feel the feelings that person is going through. we all have adifferent journeys just a little different in the circumstances. Hope you are going along okay. take care Xx
- Hi Bluewren, glad to hear you feel like you're slowly getting there with your post surgery recovery. It's such a personal journey isn't it? & yes getting outside during this lovely Spring weather is definitely good for the soul too - thanks for the reminder to take advantage of it xxx
- Hi Ann Marie. Positive thoughts are lovely to accept. Today is even a better spring day.makes you feel good.
- Thank-you inkpetal. Always happy to accept hugs. Yes I'm fine.reading back it does sound a bit sad but I didn't mean it to. Just feeling so much better in myself.not so many tears now.onwards and upwards. I breezed through menopause so hoping this will be similar. Hugs.x
- One step at a time Bluewren :) yes the outdoors are lovely when the weather is nice. Sending some positive thoughts your way.
- Are you okay? It might just be me projecting but I'm getting such a lot of sadness from this post. :( Kind of just want to give you a big hug. *smoosh*
Fortunately Tamoxifen's line-up of side effects are more like menopausal annoyances, I hope you're not in for any mean surprises.
