Hi, as I have said I am new to this but would love to have the option to chat when I need to. I live alone and sometimes my cat doesn't understand . I am 12 days post op from mastectomy and reconstruction , lymph node clearance.
The forum is the perfect place to chat so do have a look around and join in on other discussions. There are many members here that will really understand how you are feeling and what you are going through having had breast cancer themselves so don't be afraid of saying hello as I'm sure they would love to hear from you and support you as much as they can.
I noticed you mentioned that you are 12 days post op. How is your recovery going so far? I hope it's going well and you aren't in too much pain but if you do have any questions or want to chat to someone about this do give our cancer nurses a call. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and they are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5pm.
You are a tough cookie! reaching out like you have above takes courage!
My mum has Leukemia, currently in hosp with her, she's in her intensification phase, I know how hard it is as a daughter but I can't begin to imagine what my mum is going through or what you have and are still going through!
I myself had a double mastectomy and reconstruction on 04/13/17 nad was lymph node cleared. Two weeks after my surgery I was developed lymphedema. I am currently having to do physical therapy. Please take care of yourself so you won't develop lymphedema.
