Hey everyone, thanks for your support on my last post,I had my opp yesterday and all went really well, and I feel so relieved that they have got rid of the tumor, having a macetomy was definitely the right thing to do,as the tumor was 4.6 cm, luckily it hadn't spread to my lymph nodes, however my surgeon removed 2 as a precaution, I looked at my chest straight away, it's not something I had thought about but just went with how I was feeling at that time, I am so glad that I have, and I'm at ease with myself,I'm grateful to be alive and face the stage, in 10 I will have my next appointment to determine wether, it's radio therapy, tablets or chemo, just for now I'm trying not to think about this, I got to stay over night which I'm grateful for,I'm now at home with my children, my feelings, thoughts and emotions are of those I've never experienced before, and I have to say, I am a stronger woman than I gave myself credit for,I rarely praise myself, but as of yesterday I am so proud of myself, and so very proud of you all too,I'm humbled by all of your stories and thankful for this wonderful support on here, sending love from Lindsay xx
