Had op on 12th April, day before yesterday, just come up for air.
Very sore, drugged, not sleeping well.
Doctors and nurses wonderful.
i have a Chronic pain syndrome so my brain overreacts to pain signals due to spine damage causing long term chronic nerve pain.
I so hoped it would not kick in but aprently did even during op, had nerve block, loads strong drugs but body even under general anaesetic reacted badly.
Had morphine on waking, and got strong pain killer at home.
Found wire location bit painful, sharp, jabbing pain but only for couple hours before op.
The radioactive jab did not hurt at all so that was good.
I have two cuts, one above nipple where growth removed and another higher on breast where wedge of tissue with lymph nodes removed. Not sure how many yet, all that blue dye affected, pathology will say how many.
But surgeon said they look ok but need results.
I just need sleep, rest, as body so exhausted, maybe all the stress beforehand affected me too.
But so pleased growth all out as invasive breast cancer.
Just hope no more ops before radiation tretaments.
I note most others have easier reactions so think just my body, and other health issues, and age taking its toll.
