Hey

I know it's nerve wrecking, I didn't sleep well before my op, but you are in good hands. I think I feel a sense of relief that the little blighter isn't here any more, as well as the pain.

All those months ago I would never had thought we would be here. 

I will be thinking of you tomorrow. X

Hi Woolylamb,

I am delighted to hear that you have at long last got your surgery behind you. You don't get to rest up for long, but this makes it easier for you in the long run.

I found that I was sore underarm for a while after surgery. They only removed 6 lymph nodes and all were clear. I found driving over speed humps was very uncomfortable for a few months.

I am sorry to hear about your temperature and hope that there is no sign of infection.

Thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Kind regards,

Hi BigJean,

I shall be thinking of you tomorrow and hope that it all goes well. I expect that you'll be relieved to have your surgery over and done with after all this time.

Kind regards,

Hi Lorraine,

It must be so difficult caring for your mum when you are going through all this. You must have been so relieved to hear that you have clear margins this time. I am sure that going through chemo and radiotherapy will be another challenge, but you can do it.

I am glad to hear that your leg ulcer has healed, but that your dermatologist has kept you on antibiotics to keep cellulitis at bay. You will be glad that you no longer have any discharge from your leg and that there will now be no further hold up with chemo.

Do please stay in touch and let us know how you get on. Always here for you.

I saw a neurologist on Saturday, as I have had some strange turns recently. I have also experienced a strange effect from the left side of my head, down my neck, shoulder and, into the arm to above the elbow. He has referred me for a brain scan, but I'll have to wait for about 6 weeks to get it. Otherwise, I'm fine thanks.

Kind regards,

Hi Lorraine,

Could you please resend your friend request? My computer is playing up and I seem to have lost your request.

Many thanks,

oh I really hope it's not anything serious your a real star always replying to all who emails you I hope you get your scan before Xmas and not too serious I was feeling anxious you reassured me more than once it would be okay it's all different to 9 years ago my surgeon mentioned neurologist I'm waiting to see said you have went through change no periods no I'm 58 then said as you have lymphoma and leg ulcer well leg closed but skin not Bonny to look at lol said he put down to refer to them to get injections for my bones said make your bones stronger good against bone cancer I don't have bone cancer but maybe this is just out have you heard of this my nurse away on holidays I'm not sure I've injection or more phoned nurses today they weren't sure either he never said name of injections got my doctor tomorrow she might not know but ask her by the way can't thank you enough phoned my mums ot they coming out tomorrow to give my mum new trolley the one you recommended 2 shekfes brakes on it  my mums 80 and shaky off balance as hardening of the arteries in her head she has had a couple of strokes and early stage of dementia so I'm glad she's getting people and things to help her kind regards Lorraine x

Hi Lorraine,

I had a phone call from the hospital today to see what implants I have in my body, prior to brain scan and, the girl who phoned told me that it is normally about 6 weeks before the appointment will come through. As usual, they are running behind with appointments.

Many ladies become prone to osteoporosis as they become older. Cancer treatment can also affect the bones, so I expect that this is the injection that you will get. Your GP should be able to tell you all about it, as this reduces the chance of broken bones.. It is purely preventative, so nothing to worry about.

I'm delighted to hear that the OT is coming out to see your mum tomorrow and is bringing a trolley for her. Are you or your sister going to be there when she comes? It might be worth getting her to do an assessment of your mum to see if she can give her anything else that could help.

Did you notice my post asking you to apply for a friend request again? I had written a reply accepting you. This just disappeared into the ether and off my pending requests. My computer was playing up at the time, so maybe this was why.

Kind regards,

Hey

Good to hear from you, I'm pleased it went well and you are on the road to recovery. I'm doing ok, will prob be in here till Monday, still have two drains in and a wired Doppler which they are using to ensure the blood supply is healthy. 
Take it easy, I know it's hard to rest in hospital but take your time to get yourself up and about.

Bit insensitive of the nurse to say that when you've just had an op and your emotions are high anyway. I think once you have cancer you will prob always worry if it's come back, but the positives are that you are now in the system, you'll probably have 6 monthly check ins to start with so anything will get picked up. Allow yourself to take in that you are cancer free..... what an achievement. You should be mega proud of yourself. 
 

sending you a big hug.

Hey , 

thank you for getting back to me . Good to hear you doing ok too . The drains are a bit of a pain and it’s taking a while to get used to them . 

I know I don’t think it hit me till she had gone and I realized what she said . You are right I’m not going to dwell on it . 

Thanks so much for your kind words you are doing amazing also . It’s another hurdle down for both of us . 

Mind yourself and take care
