Bet that Latte tasted good, hope that you are soon able to celebrate with wine, and that you can raise it to our lips with your left hand.

Reporting in .................


Nurse came about 3 hours ago

52 staples later, the nurse says .................




"I have never before removed so many staples"




she even wondered if the staple gun had "gone wrong" as there were so many very close together in one area


Trust me! :-D :-D :-D



Drain still in


no shower tomorrow :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Thank you



I can't even have a bath!


I'm relying on sponge baths, with OH doing the parts I can't reach for one reason or another.

Sylvia - maybe the surgeon is trigger happy :-D You sound so cheery - I'm sure that will go a long way towards your recovery. Shame about not being able to have a shower or bath - that would drive me mad. Still it's not forever.

Hi Sue

I just keep thinking "this is what I have to do when we go camping out in the wilds"!!



............. and make sure that I don't get too close to non-family :-)


I am cheery ............. this is something that something can be done about, and I will be "cured".

I don't have any more parts left to get breast cancer for a 3rd time :-D , more treatment will not be needed, and so I can get on with the rest of my life

Unlike the deteriorating spine that I have to live with and medicate.



In all honesty, I do not know any other way to be than to laugh and joke about it all!

Hi Sylvia,

Have you had the drain removed yet? Hope you have, so that you can now get back to normal and have a shower or bath again.

As the others have said you are such a brave and positive lady, it's great to be that way.....I just wish I could be as half as brave and positive as you are. Well done!



Take care.



Love and positive thoughts. Sallie.xxx

Hi all


Thank you everyone for all your good wishes.


The drain is still in ............. the nurse did come today but decided not to remove for at least one more day

I thought I would update on here .............................


Went to see the surgeon this morning ......... only had to wait 15 minutes past the appointment time


She went through the pathology report ................ everything is clear, although I did apparently have both pre-cancerous and "atypical cells" of lobular cancer spread throughout the tissue

so da*n good job it was found so early.


I have been referred automatically to the Cancer Agency to see a radiation specialist ......... but the surgeon sees no need for me to have any further treatment. But the radiation guy makes the final decision ......... and she said he is a very practical guy.


so it looks like I won't have to have any radiation ....... we'll know more next Monday.
