Some of you may remember my plea for a hand hold after my second cancer diagnosis, cancelled surgery and anxiety which was through the roof and worse whilst awaiting a new date. I am now 3 weeks on from another mastectomy, so now flatter than a pancake, few hiccups with recovery (drains failing, very sick and wound closed with 33 staples rather than the stitches I had last time). But I am recovering nicely, think I am healing well (dressings came off on Wednesday). I am very uncomfortable possibly with nerve pain so taking pain relief as and when. Hubby has been a nurse, hairdresser, cook, cleaner etc etc so deserves a medal!!
My results where brilliant, all cancer contained, no spread to lymph nodes, no radio or chemo required. I just remain on my current regime from my first diagnosis.
So onwards and upwards now.
Thankyou to all of you who held my hand virtually and private messaged me with encouragement and kind words. I am really grateful. Katey ?

So glad to hear that you are recovering Kateykrunch and being so well cared for by your husband. I have been praying for you since you told us.
I hope the pain and discomfort eases soon for you. As you say onwards and upwards. ?
