Good evening girls
I have a date for the op now - Mon 5th Dec. Lumpectomy (local wide incision thingy ) and anx node clearance. Ooh, and they have to put a wire in 2 hours before to guide the surgeon to the lump - urgh. Somebody else on here had that as well, can't remember who. I am sure it won't hurt, but the injection in the boob and the thought - yuck. Who had it? And how was it?
6 weeks ago at the last ultrasound, the sonographer said, that she couldn't see the tumour anymore, but there may be a small cyst. We were cautiously happy of course by these news. This week though a diff lady did the ultrasound and we also had the results from the MRI and the lump is still there. It's the size of a broad bean, compared to the original lime size, it's pretty good, but still, they shouldnt say stuff like - it's gone, when they are not sure...
Funlady - I don't have that type of bc, however an MRI can give much better detailed and slightly different information about the bc than a mammogram or an ultrasound. I had an MRI right after dx, in the middle of chemo and after the last chemo. It will help your consultant to understand your bc status.
Lorna, doesn't sound great, but it's healing! That's good. And the weight thing! Bonus! I have my taste buds back and my body wants to use them a lot. You went to work - how did that go? Emotionally, physically? Was that the first time since ages? Or did you pop in in between ? Are you phasing in?
Linda and Sandytoes et al - how is the radiotherapy going?
Linda - Have you bought all Xmas presents from John Lewis yet ;)?
BB - all prepped already for Xmas?
House - We finally exchanged contracts yesterday. Woohoo! We are moving next Wednesday. I have a removal company of course, but bit daunted by the fact that my oh is in Spain on a business trip till fri, and now the teachers decided to strike too! On that day! Typical. I l be fine :). Looking forward to a few days rest in hospital 🙂
Hope you are all well!
