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 ?

Delighted to hear your update.
Hope the pain relief does its job.
Maybe let him have 15 minutes teabreak now and again, if you are sure it wont go to his head!!??

Thankyou everyone and for your comments and medals for DH, I dont want to disturb him from his chores at the moment, he is due a 10 minute break shortly, so I will pass on your kind words to him then lol, Katey, ?

So good to hear. It is always good to know how people are doing, as I think it encourages other folk in the same boat.

So very good that cancer was contained and no further treatment.
