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
