Post surgery

Hi all,

Just an update.  I had surgery on 9th January and all is well. Sentinal node biopsies were negative so no axillary node dissection.  I lost over 3 kilos just by having my breasts reduced. I am now a small C cup - I have to get used to my new body shape, and dress style. A small thing in the whole scheme of things! I still have a bit of pain, but considering the size of the operation, I guess that is understandable.

Still waiting for the pathology results but the surgeon is very positive.

Radiation therapy in 4-5 weeks time. Another step on the journey. Still on Herceptin until September then onto hormone blockers. The journey is long but I am well on the way. THanks for the bloggers who have offered support.
