I'm done :) feeling fine (probably because I'm drugged up!) and relieved! Just hoping they don't find any more lymph activity in the nodes when they look at them but the consultant seemed confident because the MRI and CT only showed two.

how are you getting on now?

Hi 

So gald the surgery went well and pain is manageable.

Did they say how many lymph nodes they took ? and did they go in through the breast wound I think that makes it less painful rather than in the armpit aswell.

I was sick about ten hours later , hopefully you won't be but take it steady.

District nurses been out twice now to check drain and hopefully it will come out tomorrow.I want to start the shoulder exercises then.

Well done -first and most important bit over xxxx

Hi Ned

Sorry you are here too, yes its rubbish.

I was never told "nothing to worry "about just first mammogram to call back and suspected cancer.Thank goodness as mine is quite large at 67cm -still couldn't feel anything.

Had mastectomy on Wednesday and been told probably chemo due to the size and radio , no node involvement as far as they know.

To be honest I actually want chemo now-crap though it will be -so I know everything has been done to try and stop it coming back.

I hope you get a date for clearance soon.xxx 

Hi Minty

Hope you are recovering well from mastectomy.

Hope to get a date for clearance next week, I'd like it done before Xmas but we'll have to wait and see. My surgeon only told me about surgery, he wouldn't commit to what comes next.

You are right about the chemo, I don't suppose anybody wants it, but it's the best way to get rid of any rogue cells that are lurking about and that's what we need. 
 

Good luck xxx

Thank you :)

they didn't say how many but he said he was taking the lot so  have to be careful of lymphodoema now.

looks like there are a couple of wounds - not investigated properly yet!

Glad your drains are coming out - should fee a bit more normal soon!

still no sickness so far - fingers crossed!

when do you hear about your lymphs?

Hi 

Yes lets hope it is before christmas.

I've realised , they don't tell you anything unless you keep asking , I suppose sometimes they don't know themselves , but it would be nice to know what they are thinking !

I'm also trying to eat helthy and get a few pounds off before chemo starts ! xx

Hi 

Glad you are feeling Ok and no sickness.

District nurses have been very hit and miss.Hoping I can do a littel walk tomorrow.

I don't have a follow up appointmnet yet , but he said it should be before christmas as they will want to plan appointments for January.

Take it easy xx

Hope you manage to get out for your walk - fresh air will be nice! I'm having my drains out this Thursday then follow up with the consultant next Thursday. Not looking forward to chemo... x

How are you getting on? X
