I also hope everything goes well for you - I had the same operation on October 31st with, I think, the same result - no chemo (very thankful). My incision was on my left side - about 20cm long from back to front (more or less along the waist line - very awkward at first but OK now) - consultant says that I need to have CT scans every 6 months to keep a check on everything - these are already organised.

There are a lot of complaints about our health service but not from me - 2 cancers and 2 removed successfully all within a couple of months. Medical staff are wonderful - the administration staff not so good but you just get on with it and badger them.

Anyway I've rambled enough, so good look again for a speedy recovery

best wishes

Jill

I hope you have a speedy and complete recovery! Handwork is perfect for
recovery. My mom embroidered a whole tablecloth while recovering from
surgery and every time we used it, she'd tell us the story. :-)

Hello all,

thank you, everyone for your kind words and wishes.
The surgery is now 2 weeks ago, and I am recovering.
I'm sure all those good energies helped!

It wasn't breast cancer, it was a cancer of the kidney. But given the
diagnosis,  the news are relatively good. The tumor was well contained and
hasn't spread anywhere. I have a good prognosis, and they say I won't need
chemotherapy. I was fit and healthy up to the operation, which is obviously
the best thing to possibly be when about to have major surgery done, I am
recovering really well. Right now, I don't have even pain any more, just a
scar straight down the middle of my tummy from the breasts to the belly
button. I get tired quickly, but other than that, I am fine.

So... I'm back online!

I wish a happy new year to all of you!

Love,

B -_- . M -_- .
