My Breast Cancer Journey Update ... July 25, 2014!

My Breast Cancer Journey Update.  First, I thank all of you, again, for your prayers, and support.  I am trying to remain focused; and busy.  It is hard.  Had a visit today with my primary doctor.  I was told that I have an infection (he saw a little leakage on my surgery site).  He said that it isn't necessarily anything that I did, or didn't do; that it just happens, sometimes.  So, I am taking some antibiotics; otherwise, he stated that everything looks as if it is healing just fine.

My Breast Cancer Journey Update ... July 17, 2014!

I have just returned from my first follow-up appointment (since my surgery) with my surgeon. She removed my staples; and, in a surprise 'very painful' move, the drainage tubes. Because she is like me, a very independent woman (that likes to control things regarding HER life); she lifted all of the restrictions, that she had imposed on me (with the exception of still 'NO DRIVING!"); where I can attempt to do things, on my own ... BUT, I had to promise to, immediately, stop, when I realize that I still cannot handle whatever, so as not to rip apart my surgery site, and/or do, even, more damage, elsewhere. ALL of my doctors seem to be on this same theme on worrying about MY eating. Since my surgery, I admit that I do not seem to have much of an appetite ... I rather sleep, when I can. But, since I do like subway (the healthy sandwiches), raisins, whole wheat bagels (with a heart healthy spread), and Oat Meal, with honey and cinnamon ... I did agree to concentrate on eating more of these. Anyway, I see my surgeon, again, in three weeks; and, at her request, I have to see my Oncologist, before then ... for more, continuing, follow-up treatment, that he will discuss with me. All in all, my surgeon stated that I am healing very well, and very quickly.

My Breast Cancer Update - July 14, 2014

At home, recovering.  Started working on my Online Business, and making new Greeting Cards (One of my new cards for sale - Notice the butterflies are pink :  https://www.etsy.com/listing/196397446/happy-birthday-100-handmade-greeting?ref=shop_home_active_1 ).  I have all the time in the World, right now; since I am not allowed to do much of anything else.  My body is, actually, agreeing ... I get tired, so easily.  According to my Home Care Health Nurse, I am healing beautifully.  Now, that I no longer have the numbing medication attached; I am, actually, starting to feel real pain ... so, I have been taking my pain prescription, which makes me sleep a lot.  I have a high threshold for pain, so since I am feeling a lot of pain, right now; I know that it must be, really, excrutiating pain.  The pathology report still hasn't come yet; or it has not been revealed to me, yet ... so I have no idea if, at least, the worst, is behind me, or not.  I see my surgeon for my follow-up this Thursday.  I just wanted to give an update, on my breast cancer journey.
