Susan, you will be in myMarcia527 said:Sounds like I had the same
Sounds like I had the same treatment as you. I did not have IBC but it was very aggressive. I had treatment in 2003/2004. Good luck tomorrow.
Susan, you will be in my thoughts & prayers tomorrow. Let us know how you get along when you are able. Hugs....0 -
I'll be thinking of you
And sending prayers and positive thoughts your way.
It may seem like a long road to get to the other side, but any journey can only be taken one step at a time. You're taking an important step tomorrow and you have a lot of caring companions here to cheer you on your way.
Take care,

Susan. I will keep you in
Susan. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and thank God for the skill and knowledge of all our wonderful drs. It can seem like such a long journey but we are stronger than we think. If your weather is anything like mine, it may be nice and warm when you get out. We had heavy frost just days ago today supposed to be in the 70's. Now we just have to keep from getting sick from the change of weather. Take good care of yourself. Marilyn0 -

Susan, I hope the surgery went well and that you are resting tonight. That cold, nasty weather is just to encourage you to snuggle up and get lots of sleep.
Hope all goes well for you, will keep you in my prayers.0 -

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!

I got out of the hospital about 9 this morn and all considered I feel great. The sun even came out and it's warmed up - yesterday was majorly overcast and cold)
He was able to get all the 'stuff' and didn't have to take nerves which he had said was a possibility due to the size. He didn't say how many lymph he took out and I forgot to ask so guess I'll find out next Thurs when I see him next. Pathology will be in by then but had already had biopsies done before chemo so know that it will come back positive.
I've really been surprised that the pain is not bad at all but the nurses were last night - they kept wanting me to take more pain meds but I saw no reason to take percocet (sp?) when there was no real pain - just slight discomfort. They kept coming back every 15 min., waking me up to see IF I needed some so I finally took it so they would leave me alone and let me sleep. Was surprised at the food they gave me too. I had been out of surgery about 3 hrs when they brought me lunch - I expected a liquid diet but they brought soup and a chicken salad sandwich then for supper they brought roast beef, potatoes, gravy and CORN. They were good but 'heavier' foods than I expected right after surgery.
'Bout all I can think of right now and want to get a nap so bye.

So glad to hear that it went so well.
Get as much rest as your body tells you you need. Healing takes a lot of energy!
Take care,

Now that you're home you can decide when and if you will take pain medication, and what to eat. Great to be in control again, isn't it? Rest easy, do things you enjoy, and post when you feel like it.
