Another surgery and pathology

Its been a rough start for the new year  with fighting an infection . I must say what ever they did in emerge did help the pain level , having a nurse stuff me with a dressing every other day was not so pleasant . The thought that my breast had an incision that was wide open was not an easy thing to deal with . I felt very vulnerable , was uneasy about doing anything . It was great news that my daughter was coming back to spend some with me to help me get through another surgery. She arrived the day before my surgery .. I felt more uneasy going in to this one not sure why maybe I just new what pain was ahead coming out . The surgery went well and I was able to go home and not spend the night .
The swelling was not as bad at first so I could really see the difference between the affected breast and the healthy one . The one that they took the cancerous tumour and tissue was looking a lot smaller and perkier then my right breast . Although there will be a definite difference I am feeling soo lucky just to have a breast on the left side and will deal  with the imperfections and scars.
The pathology came in just 10 days this time and I was glad to get the results what ever they may be as not knowing tends to get the mind wondering all sorts of things ....like will I have to go back and get my breast removed?  Luckily  results were good this time and margins were clear well as clear as a surgeon can get them . There is still a spot he cannot get at with in stiu cancer .....
My daughter is still here almost 2 weeks after my surgery . I am soo lucky to have her here . Kevin is awesome as usual but he does have to work .. The time for me is very long as I am basically in the house recovering ... can't go anywhere as I was weak and I am on antibiotics for 3 weeks as a preventive measure . Wasn't well enough to type or go on line but things are improving every day .
We pass our time with tv, monopoly and have a puzzle going but haven't done much with that because of pain issues .I think that is the worse part of the disease process . To be at home day in and out not being able to do to much as far as being physical ..The cancer centre will be calling within 2 weeks and I will start my next stage of treatments ...I am just going to enjoy the next few weeks
Going to go out for a bit tonight and take Alicia for wings and maybe a glass of wine whooo hooo

Happy News and a Setback

I want to start out on a positive happy note. On Christmas day Kevin and I went to Lake Louise to spend Christmas . Kevin took me up the gondola and a short hike got down on his knees and ask me to marry him I said YES....I feel so lucky that he is in my life !!! I was feeling a bit unwell fighting a fever for 3 days thinking I had caught a bug but it went away and felt well enough to get away with Kevin for the night . We enjoyed the day a lot, another couple was there to share in our good news .
I was feeling tired, sore and and my breast started to get red and felt hot to touch on the 29th of dec. decided to get the doctor to look at it he prescribed me antibiotics and told me if it got worse to go to emerge . On new years day eve at 2pm we decide I was not getting better and went to emerge .
It was not looking good . In short I had to have a surgeon come down open me up and re move infection .
I seen my own surgeon today and now my surgery to remove the rest of the cancer is delayed for at least a month . I am getting home care to have nurses clean and change my dressing .
It is a setback in my time line but theses things happen and not much I can do just hoping all heals well and then get the surgery over .
