1 Week post surgery

Well it's been a week now and what a weekend I had. It was lovely because my Mom came to stay with me, but my scar decided to leak for 3 days. Luckily it stopped yesterday and I've had my post surgery check up today and they are pleased and all is healing well.

Apparently the body makes fluid to heal, and my body made enough fluid to fill the cavity that the removed implant left, which is a sack of fluid called a Seroma. I thought my chest felt like a water bed for a few days. It is quite common and can happen more than once, so fingers crossed it doesn't for me.

I can finally have a proper shower and hoping to drive again next week. Sadly I had to give up my Robbie Williams ticket last night as I was too poorly to go. But the tickets got used thankfully.

Thank you to my visitors for keeping me company, thanks you for my flowers, gifts and meals. Thank you for helping me get to and from hospital. xxx

Post surgery

Well I'm 4 days post surgery and starting to feel a bit better, very tired and so uncomfortable and sore, but doing well. I go back for a check up on Wednesday and get my dressings changed, so I'll see my new scar for the first time then. It's very weird having one boob but I'm sure I'll cope for a while. I want the other one out when they'll do it, I didn't want foreign objects in my body to start with, but sadly two years ago I was too slim to use my own flesh. Hoping I am perfect for that surgery now I've gained three stone. I will find out on the 20th when I see my plastic surgeon again. Hoping they say I can drive this week, fingers crossed. Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. TTFN X

What now!

Well I never thought I'd be blogging on here again but I've had a few problems this year. With pain and my right implant capsulating again. I had a scare when I found a lump in the same place my cancer was, ultrasound found it to be scar tissue...phew. I've also changed my cancer medication from anastrozole to letrozole and been put on vitamin D to see if that helps with my bone pain.

But in the last three weeks I had a hole the size of a pin head in my right breast scar,  I had an infection and have now had three sets of different antibiotics. I visited my plastic surgeon on Friday as the hole has just got bigger and bigger and is constantly leaking body fluid which is trying to heal me and It's now 2" round.

I have been put on the trauma list and will have my implant removed on Tuesday or Thursday latest. I'm totally devastated at what is happening and in shock,  but at the same time I think I'll be happy to be out of the pain it's causing me daily.
