Hi everyone

Hope everyone is feeling OK and managing to sleep.

I had my operation on Wednesday. The op itself went well but I ended up being kept in because I didn’t react well to the anaesthetic. I wasn’t given lymph node results - have to wait until 26th Sept. I was also given a sick note for a month which was a bit of a shock.I have no idea why. I feel fine and not in too much pain but like everyone else I just can’t sleep. I went for a decent walk today to see if that helps.

Did anyone else have the wire put in before? It was so painful. At my hospital they strapped a plastic drinking cup to us to protect it - very odd but it worked !

love

Hi Jo 

glad it went well - I was really sick after the morphin but they still discharged me. You are lucky they kept you in as I had terrible night when I got home.

i also had wire - have to say didn’t hurt luckily but was strange 

hoping to get results Monday 23rd and yes sleeping is impossible I am considering asking gp for something to help 

I am 11 days post op and under my arm is so painful and has been for several days - worst bit for me !

glad it’s over for you - onto next step !! Xxx 

Hi Jo,

Pleased you’ve got the operation over and done with,but you must rest and take it easy but with some gentle excercises,

i had a mag seed put in the day before my operation and that was fine,it was the blue dye they put in me and I looked like a Smurf lol. 

All the best and everything crossed your lymph nodes are all clear  

Sending love and heal well then onto the next stage! You’ve done the most now xxx

Hi all,

im 14 days post op and healing well. Went back to the hospital yesterday to get wounds checked she was happy with them.  Going back next Monday for results as they weren’t ready last week. 

I feel the one under my arm my arm is the worst and feel it rubs on my bra after a while. I’ve still got limited movement past 90 degrees and still numb under arm pit and down the back of my upper arm. I’ve not really lifted anything for nearly two weeks. Only started to lift my daughter up two days ago, which has been hard!

Ive been sleeping no to bad however I think I’m stressing in other ways as I feel my throats closing up and feel as if I have a lump half way down. This then fills me with dread that it’s spread or I have it somewhere else. I used to get terrible head aches when I first found out and convinced it was there too. Stress is a very funny thing. My hospital have referred me for therepy sessions to get ways of coping with the stress. Got my first assessment on the 30th (day after my daughters christening)

starting to fill will dread about getting results on Monday, anyone else feel like this?

Ok girls here is my update:

was told to call surgeons secretary today to see if results of op were back to confirm appointment on Monday 23rd - she said they had been discussed today at “the meeting” so ok for Monday 

BUT then 10 mins later had a call from the Speacilists nurse asking me to go in tomorrow morning !!! 

She said it was a change in consultants diary but I do not believe her for one minute !! Why would nurse be doing his diary not his secretary !! 

so now im freaking out 

think i I will be like you Altiapa and need another op .. glad your past that now x 

Will this never end ... x 

Please try not to panic! I’m always having the breast nurses ringing me changing my appointments. This could be the same thing. What ever they have decided you’ll find out tomorrow instead of waiting till Monday which in a way is better. At least you won’t be worrying about it all over the weekend. 

Let us know how you get on. 

Xxxx

Sending lots of positive thoughts and hugs for today Ezra .
