With each day I felt better but more sore; if that makes sense. The Dr. made two incisions. One on the left breast to removed the cancer and one near the left armpit to remove the sentinel node. The muscle in the area near the armpit had to be dissected for the Dr. to be able to get in. That area is SORE. I think it is the healing process. The muscle isn't being used, so when I move it or stretch it, it makes it hurt.
I am getting better with each passing day...and tomorrow is my first Dr. appointment since surgery. What will tomorrow bring? We shall see...

So glad you decided to blog about this. You will be such an inspiration for other women going through the same thing. Plus it helps those that care about you understand better of what you are going through. I love you and haven't let a day go by without thinking about you and praying for you. Can't wait to hear about more good news!
ReplyDeleteIt has been 17 months since the removal of the mass I had and - and my underarm/breast is still sore at times. Surgeon says all is normal, but it is annoying. Other than use weights and try to massage it, not sure what will help.
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog. Ive been blogging via my MS site online since 1997 and there is no better way to express yourself, vent, teach/educate others and it gives you an outlet to be as happy or sad as you need to be. You are an inspiration to every woman battling this monster right now.
There is something to be said also for the amount of strangers that show support, share stories and eventually become your friend.
I will be thinking of you tomorrow...stay strong.

Flora the Warrior: each step - the painful ones, the frustrating ones, the fearful ones, the hopeful ones - each step in this journey takes you one step farther from the Beast and one step CLOSER to FULL HEALTH! :)YAY!
ReplyDeleteI love that you're embracing (documenting) the "journey". (even as difficult as "waiting" is) And, believe it or not, one day (in the not-too-distant-future) you'll look back and think - "WOW, I've come so far - and look at all the people who have come with me! We are an ARMY and this battle we are fighting - I have - we have overcome - we have WON!"
So practice your very best Warrior Queen victory cheer, my friend, because as the Region's face of Hope in the fight against this Beast - you will next be leading us in a Victory dance! :) (and THAT's a party to look forward to! woo hoo!)
Thinking of you & praying for you...today...:)
Everyone...thank you so much for being with me, following me, and loving and understanding what is happening. I have the greatest family...because that is what we are. Family! I love you all so much and will continue to Fight Like a Girl...but you all have to promise to fight with me. Stand beside me, hold my hand and give me a shoulder to cry on when I need it.
ReplyDeleteI want to be the voice of the Region...merely to spread the word. I want all women to know. To understand. To take control of their destiny.
Ladies, together we will "Stand and be strong and Fight Like a Girl!"
I love you.
Flora
