Wishing you lots of luck for positive news from the scan

Hi Sylvia just hopping on to say I’m back in the land of the living. The operation went well and they seem happy with the join. The after pain was not as bad as I anticipated (morphine was good) and am now back home after only 4 days in hospital. I hope this gives you a bit of comfort when it’s time for your surgery. Hugs x 

Hi Kathy,really pleased to hear yr operation went well ,only 4 days in hospital wow that's fantastic ,any advice what i need to take in when I go in for mine,I'm feeling a bit nervous now waiting for my result,hope you are managing to rest at home a s being looked after xx

Thank you, my hubby has turned into Florence nightingale so definitely being looked after well. Take some lip balm as you will be a bit dehydrated, cosy dressing gown as I found it got chilly at night and upsize on pants. I wouldn’t take anything with a waistband as you won’t want anything touching your tummy. The days and nights are long once you are onto day 2 post op so if you can take an iPad with Netflix loaded on and some earphones, it passed a lot of time for me. Try not worry too much about your results they’re rarely as bad as we imagine in our heads. My tumour and lymph nodes have gone off to pathology and I’m forcing myself to think positive. Let me know when your op is and I’ll keep you in my prayers x
