Mastectomy was 04-02 came home 4 days later, to be readmitted 1/5 days later due to a severe infection. Stayed 11 days, finally released again
Margins allclear, no c in skin, 29 lymph nodes removed, 11 cancerous and 2 large unfound tomurs also removed. All looks good, I still have vns for iv;s at home and changing bandages (the drains ahd to go)
So form here it is onward to radiation in a week or so, and then back to life as it was, or will be.
My hair is growing ever so slowly but seems a bit darker, that would be nice. Serveral friends have remarked on hte prefet tiem tochange hairystyle! I guess they did not like my messy do!
I am now on a venture to help w/the 3 day walk Boston walk. I had attended a fundraiser and feel sending out donation request to those I know and work with this could be the best time!Some 5oo letters or emails going out, hoping to get $5,000 ( I have a macth donation bebefactor)
Many thanks for the advice and warm emails, they helped me thru ,many a day
Especailly Lady Parvati
Peace
