Back again for another op
Hi there - went last Thursday week to have my grade 2 invasive carcinoma removed. Was told the margins were OK and to wait for information regarding 4 weeks of radiotherapy. Boob recovering but so...
Hi and welcome @kitkatb. I was new to forums too when I joined here. I hope you find it as helpful and supportive as I have.
I had to have a re-excision as well, one week after my first. The second operation was about an hour shorter than the first. It was no more or less painful, but two general anaesthetics in eight days was pretty weary making and it was several weeks before I felt I was over them.
It's definitely one day at a time @kitkatb, especially at the beginning when most of us are in shock, upset and on a vertical learning curve. It moves very fast so take some deep breaths, and come here to vent, rage, mourn and ask as many questions as you need. Big hug, K xox
