Hi guys I just wanted to update you. I have been extremely lucky, I went for surgery 3 weeks ago and when I arrived I didn't know if they were going to do the reconstruction. I met up the surgeon and he informed me that I will was the last person to have the reconstruction at the hospital before lockdown and all surgeries cancelled. The operation went well and I came home after 2 nights with a drain. I was very uncomfortable especially under my arm where they had taken some lymph nodes. It all feels very strange, the breast itself is numb and doesn't feel like it belongs to me. Unfortunately when they checked the lymph nodes they found cancer, despite being told it was highly unlikely, less than 5%. So yesterday I went back into a private hospital for the next level of nodes to be taken and tested. I now have to wait 2 weeks for the results of that. I have been so lucky Sharon x
