Well done Eve. Stage one completed. Rest up and get ready for the next one. 

Hi Eve,

I am glad to hear that your operation went well. The discomfort should abate soon. So now another wait. This is usually the most trying time, so do your best to keep busy and distract yourself from the wait.

Do let us know when you get your results.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Katrina,

i know your op date is tomorrow and I want to let you know I’m thinking of you. I feel so much better now. Virtually no pain at all. The worse part was probably the reaction I had from the plasters that I was given to dress the wounds. I’m sure things will go as smoothly for you. Another problem I’m having is not doing anything. Being advised to do no lifting or heavy housework is impossible. I’ve already broken this rule and I’ve paid for it with pain and exhaustion. Don’t make the same mistake. Listen to your body and try not to worry about what’s not getting done at home. Xxxx 

Thank you Eve....im glad you are feeling a lot better now. I will take your tip on board and start drawing up a list of chores for him indoors lol....ooh that rhymes!

Last day of work today......so much to do before I go off!

Hi there ... wonder what those plasters are made of ... I had scar swell after couple days and the redness was where the plaster had been ... and I've never had problem before ...

Well try to get used to not doing a lot as it's easy to think you are more agile then you are ... it really is worth slowly , slowly and working up to do more ... it's not like wer in pain as then it would be easy to rest ... but it is classed as major op ... so get a couple of films in .. and think make the most of relaxing as you'll soon be back to mobility ... you did well lass ... my lad said at one point he was gonna strap my arm down if I kept stretching it too far ... 

Now it's our little cournish pasties turn ... she was on here last night answering and helping others ... what a great lot of breast buddies on here at the mo ... so keep in touch as wer here no mater how your doing ... so take care eve ... chrissie xx

Hi all. I wanted to update. Ok done. Still in hospital as bp is very low at the moment. Hopefully I can go home later if we can get this up. Am doing ok x

Hi Katrina, sorry to hear you are still in hospital. Enjoy the rest while you can. How long do you have to wait for your results? I imagine you’re feeling glad that this first part is over. Take care, much love Evelyn x

Hi evelyn. I'm home. Have slept for most of yesterday and today since getting here!

I'm very sore and stiff but ok. 

I go back to see the consultant on 2nd may for my next lot of results. Hopefully the margins and nodes will be clear and we can move forward to the radiotherapy. And if not...more surgery it will be. But it's ok. We will see when we get there. 

I Hope you are doing ok. I've completely forgotten if you've had your appointment yet or not. Sorry. Culmination of anaesthetic and drugs lol x
