You're so right Vicki.  When I think of the journey everyone is on, and my own journey, I know I have learned a lot about myself these last 11 weeks.  When I think what a mess I was at the beginning blindsided by the fear and the waiting, and now, post surgery I feel a stronger person, and less afraid.  I wish I knew it was possible to feel this way at the beginning, and I hope anyone else starting their journey can take some comfort and positivity from our experiences.  
 

We're not quite there yet, but the finishing line now in sight hopefully.

How are you feeling now it's close again to your surgery? I must admit the thought of being laid up again isn't a thrilling prospect after starting to feel a bit more normal! Let's hope they get it all this time for both of us.

I had a mini emotional meltdown last weekend but I think that's because I was getting back on my feet and starting to do more and got sideswiped by Covid!!!

Hi GT63

Thanks for remembering. Yes, my SMX, implant surgery and node biopsy is on Wednesday. I am absolutely dreading it. You are so right - it's been so lovely being able to do things again; I feel I am going back to square one. Dreading the drain, dreading them finding cancerous cells in my nodes, dreading having some weird alien foob. I've been trying to keep busy by decorating my daughter's room but it's never far away. 

PCR tomorrow then weird dye injection on Tuesday. On the plus side I've lost 1/2 a stone as feel vaguely sick most of the time :laugh:

When is your surgery? Will it be affected by having Covid? Hope you are feeling ok?

Hi

That's wonderful news. So happy for you. Hope you're making a good recovery and enjoying this beautiful weather.

Hi

Glad your mastectomy went well and no drain is a huge bonus. You have given me some good vibes for mine this week. 

Are you managing to sleep ok and control any pain?

Rest up

Hi Vicki

Hope you're doing ok. I feel like that doctor was sent to you with his beautiful analogy. You are one brave lady.

Sending love

Do let me know how you get on. Mine's on 4th April. I'll have PCR on Friday coming so hopefully will be clear - 

Good to keep busy where we can, I'm still not fully operational physically though after my last surgeries and the itching is driving me insane! Also get a sensation in my nipple like someone is trying to tweak it off every so often :cry xx

I've done so many lfts that my nose is really sore now! I will definitely let you know how I get on - I'm sure it won't be as bad as I think. The 4 week wait has felt like 4 years!

Sorry to hear you're not fully operational yet - hopefully you'll be better after the next one.

That doctor sounds amazing!
