I had sugery just over 3 weeks ago for breast cancer they removed a tumour from my breast and a lymph node from under my arm. It certainly was a shock not just to me but the whole family..more so as I lost my only sister to cancer 2 years ago, and my 1st hospital appointment was on the date she died !
Today I go back for my prognosis, and see if they managed to get all the cancer, if I need more surgery, chemo or just radiotherapy.
Anyway I felt terrible, and really frail for a while after surgery, but managed to look after myself and do housework,cooking etc. On week 2 I gave myself a kick up the backside, and got my makeup on and hair done...not bad considering 1 arm was pretty useless after surgery but I did my physio and its improving.
Last night I rejoined Slimmingworld with a view to lose the weight I had put on comfort eating. I still have more cancer treatment to face, but it wont help if I am overweight. I will be distraught today if the news isnt good !
I have had such fantastic support, and love from family and friends apart from 1 friend, who has not called or even texted to enquire of how I am needless to say I no longer need her in my life.
