Hi Gnatty /everyone
The op was indeed Friday. It went well thankfully.
A bit of post operative fever, so they’ve kept me in an additional couple of days. I’m hoping to come out today or tomorrow at the VERY latest, as I’m EXHAUSTED from lack of sleep 😴 Hospitals are busy busy 24/7!
The histology results will take 3/4 weeks to come through. I don’t hold much hope for a good result, primarily because the cells in my lung contain breast cancer cells. This is obviously a huge worry for me.
The idea is to have another chest scan soon and probably get the fluid drained, before it starts to cause respiratory issues.
Then further scans to check the rest of my body. Maybe anti hormone therapy to try to zap the bad cells.
Having spent best part of a week at The Christie now, I’ve become part of a community of women who display strength and vulnerability simultaneously. It’s both uplifting and depressingly sad. I myself, thought I’d seen the back of my brush with cancer, 14 years ago
So, that’s me. HRT has been poison for me, but surgeon is adamant I should have no regrets.
I will not be putting myself through any gruelling treatment again. Did that, bought the t shirt the last time! What ever will be, will be now.
Why are hospitals so hot 🥵??
Radiator on full blast, windows open!
