Came out of surgery a couple of hours ago. Dozing on and off and looking at the city lights through the window. Apparently, surgery went well but no doubt there will be further results to come. Very painful when I was in recovery but pain managed now. Lots of texts with love from the kids. Dave waited patiently with me in the hospital room until they wheeled me out but this time I let him go home as it’s such a long drive so late at night.
I have been so fortunate with my family and friends. It seems from reading what other women post on the BC network that some people drop them like a hot potato after diagnosis.
I’m also very fortunate with my surgeon, Dr Kollias, who does a good job of showing a really caring manner as well as doing good surgery ( well to a novice, he seems to). Apart from all of the practical reasons for being disappointed about having to have the second surgery, it was such a shame to lose the breast as he had done such an amazing job.
Will update further later. Goodnight.
Hi Gaye
Glad you are ok and came through the surgery with hopefully good results. Your kids and Dave are amazing and I am sure they will look after you very well while you are getting better.
Take care and keep us posted. Your blog is a great idea and saves you having to repeat yourself over and over when probably that is the last thing you feel like doing.
Love and best wishes now and always. Ann
Thanks, Annie. Feeling okay, today. Dave and the kids dropped in as did a couple of friends. I also got some lovely flowers and I haven’t been sick. So, all in all, feeling better than I probably should be.
Very positive update & sounds like you feel you are in good hands. Which is great news in itself. All our love to you and the family and look forward to seeing you when you feel up to it.
Thanks, Moira.
