I have the isotope injection on Monday, will I be alright to get myself to the hospital and back?
You all mention the bcn, I saw a lady when they told me I had cancer last thur but I have no idea when I will see her again. Do you all phone them?
I have a tiny chest, but for my operation they said they would take the lump and do some reconstruction. I didn’t get any more detail do you know what could happen? I have read regarding possible other bits of the body being used, implants but neither of these were mentioned.
yes you will be able to drive after the isotope injection it is just like a bee sting and does not hurt afterwards. It is normal to see your BCN at all appointments. Hunt through the bits and peices of paper they gave you and i bet there is one with telephone numbers on and one will be a direct line to the breast care team.
I dont know about reconstruction, again, best to ask your BCN.
I made the appt mainly to touch base with my doctor and the surgery while I didn’t have any problems.
He is a very good GP that I have a lot of confidence in and both he and I were glad that I had gone and he is going to ensure that a note is put on my records so that I will get immediate help and/or appt if I need it during my treatment and recovery periods.
He also went over some of what I have been told and explained everything I wasn’t totally sure of in easy to understand language!!
