Hi All,
My surgery all went ahead as planned this morning,Went into theatre around 11ish and was home for about 5pm this afternoon.
Was fitted a bra and a soft prosthesis by the ward nurse,As I didn’t see the breastcare nurse before discharge.
Felt a bit groggy following surgery and couldn’t stop crying once I had come round!..The Nurse in recovery asked me why I was crying and what was wrong!!
I refrained from a comeback of ‘I don’t know-Maybe having cancer,And having my boob amuptated at 40 is a little bit upsetting’
Overall I feel much better since I got home,And having finally stopped crying,
Am not in much pain,Just discomfort and tightness,And am find one of the drain placing is irritating my chest.I have a drainbag that is a godsend rather than carrying them around.
@zoemac My Partner was very supportive from initial diagnosis up until I started chemo and then he just went in the complete opposite direction!!!
We dont live together and it seemed as if he just had no time for me at all,And wasn’t really checking up on me when I didnt see him etc.
I was getting more support and encouragement from people I don’t really know,And even MY Ex-Husband!!!
I found this incrediblly fustrating and hurtful and it very nearly cost us our 9 year relationship!
However he seems to have stepped up today so we will see how it goes over the next few weeks.
