Today I had a Mastectomy

I just had both drains removed and it didn't hurt ( I had taken panadol and neurofen before in anticipation of the removal), I did feel the sensation of the tubing being pulled through my body and that was unsettling. I think that the area is still numb from surgery. I go back next week and will probably need some fluid removed via a needle. He says it wont hurt because I will still be numb...we will see.

Happy with my pathology as well. He took out thirteen lymph nodes and they are all clear. The breast tissue showed a spot with 'chemotherapy effect' and no evidence of residual ILC. I am feeling grateful and lucky.

Now for rads...
