Diagnosed Yesterday - Feeling Guilty!

Hi Emma

No drain because it was only the sentinal nodes. If I don’t get clear margins or if my sentinal nodes show any signs then it will be back in for another op to clear the axillary nodes - I will have a drain then (I think).

Recovery has been amazing. The wounds are healing nicely, I don’t have much swelling (according to my BNC today), I’m keeping up with my exercies and my bood looks amazing :wink:

The pain isn’t too bad, but the painkillers helped a lot over the weekend. I haven’t taken anything today but I think I may need a little something later on lol.

How are you doing? Are you bearing up?

I glad you are doing well Hun great sign… I am sooo scared its untrue I have never been so scared in all my life! Spent the day in the sun today with my 3babies and mum…it was lovely!! Mum left a card for me which I hadn’t seen her leave out.just read it and broke my heart it really touched me!! She’s trying to be so strong but crippled with anger as the way Nhs had treated me in this situation. She said she loves me more than life itself and she wishes it was her and not me going through this!! It was gorgeous message she had written… Lee my partner is adamant it’s my implant!! I hope it is Martha I really do… Thanks for being there for me xxxx

Aww that is so sweet - My fiance gave me a card which started with “To Our Hero” and I couldn’t see my daughter (7 yrs) who was carrying a massive bunch of flowers, then when I got to my mum’s my son (13 yrs) gave me another bunch of flowers - Needless to say I spent most of Friday evening in tears lol

I think because you have had the implants it is a strong possibility that they could be the cause of your mass. I too am keeping my fingers crossed for you. It is horrible how the NHS have treated you however, not long now and you will know.

One of the ladies on here mentioned a herbal remedy called Bachs Rescue Remedy, it is wonderful for calming your nerves, not making you feel so stressed and just relaxing you. I have a large glass of water and put in 4 drops - It works a treat.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you that all you will need is a new implant.

Take care
