Second surgery
On Thursday, two weeks after my first surgery (wide local excision and sentinel node removal), four weeks after my mammogram I had another surgery to remove more of a clear margin. This was just a day surgery and I felt worse after this than the original surgery. Funny how when you are staying in overnight you can't have anything to drink for hours as they are worried about the racing heart and nausea but with day surgery its just, yep you have to have an ecg as your heart is racing, your temp is up but maybe you are getting a cold, but hey get up and get dressed and sit in the chair while vomitting your heart out. Think if I have to go back in I will demand to stay overnight. Don't get me wrong, the nurses are lovely I just felt like we were on a production line, get in and get out!
Next Wednesday the results will be back and hopefully, fingers/toes everything crossed, they have got it all and I do not have to have any further surgeries. Anyone had to go back more than twice?
I am still having a hard time getting my head around it all and not being able to 'do' anything and the unknown is scary & depressing. :(
