Re: Breast Cancer second time around
Hello Ladies, Just to let you all know that I am home and feeling pretty good. I have surprised myself and others. The surgery went well although they had to take more lymph glands than I would have liked. The surgeon didn't like the look of them so took more and I will know more in two weeks when I go and see her. I looks like I will have to have Radiation and possibly Chemo. I've done it before and got through it so I can do it again. The breast care nurse has been amazing. I came home with lots of goodies and more to come. Nothing like last time. Thank you all again for your support it has meant a lot and made the experience more bearable. I feel more relieved now that its over. I know there is more to come and I will deal with that as it comes. I have three drains in and tonight I will have to check those myself. The nursing staff at Tweed Hospital were marvelous. Wishing you all positive thoughts as you go through your experience. Marilyn.xx8ViewsSign in to react to this post0CommentsRe: Breast Cancer second time around

I went on Monday for my pre op appointment. Nurse one, then Anesthetist, nurse 2 then I finally met my Breast Care Nurse. All were very nice and took the time to explain everything to me. Two weeks today till surgery. I have been able to find some front buttoning tops and Pj's. I like the idea of a packet of snakes thanks Jane for that tip. Also the Colouring books. My daughter sent me some last Christmas and will take one of those with me.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsRe: Calling All Network Members - when is your birthday?

Hi all, I just had a phone call from the Hospital and my surgery is scheduled for the 9th Nov. and I have an appointment for pre admission next Monday. I do a lot of shopping on ebay and I have managed to find a pregnancy pillow and have ordered that. Thanks Share for that information and I am so sorry to hear your news. I also wish you all the best as your journey continues.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsRe: Breast Cancer second time around
Hi all, thanks to all of you that have posted it is really helping to find out these things. Tomorrow is 1 week since seeing the surgeon. No call from the hospital yet. At least I am having some time to get used to the idea and get over the initial shock. As soon as I hear anything I will let you all know. xx MazViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsRe: Breast Cancer second time around
Thanks Ne, They only took 6 lymph nodes from my left arm and they were clear. What I am learning from you all is that now they do the sentinal node and don't take the lymph nodes. Am I right with this? How soon can you go out? I know it wont be the first couple of weeks. My surgeon said I would only be in hospital for two nights and then the nurse would come to check on me. Thanks TonyaM for your info. I have never heard of a seroma. How long did you all have to wait for the surgery? Sorry full of questions tonight.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsRe: Breast Cancer second time around
Hi Tracey62, I will be having my surgery at Tweed Hospital. I have been overwhelmed by the support from all here and on Facebook. I really appreciate it. I'm sure a lot has changed in 15 years as to treatment and well just about everything. I had my Chemo at Robina last time. Robina was just a new hospital then and all the staff were wonderful. I had my surgery last time in Murwillumbah. xxx Cath, there going to have lots of fun grabbing my nipple as have really badly inverted nipples.As soon as I know the date you will to. xxxViewsSign in to react to this postComments- ViewsSign in to react to this postComments

Thanks Cath, I'm still trying to get my head around what will happen. My Surgeon said that I have to go to John Flynn Hospital to have something done before going to the Public Hospital I'm thinking that is the dye for the sentinal node. I guess I will find out more when the Hospital contacts me. xxMazViewsSign in to react to this postComments
