I had the surgery on the 28th. They actually had to take the entire breast. Monday, I went to the oncologist and they drew blood out of the port where I wil be taking the chemo. It didn't hurt at all! Yesterday they took out the drain. I was so happy to get that out. They also removed the bandage and I was finally able to take a shower. I was in a lot of pain the first couple of days and had to take a lot of pain mere. I can only sleep on my back right now which is uncomfortable. One of my friends GAVE me a recliner. It has been a godsend.
After I got home and saw my chest without the bandage was sobering. There is a big wound instead of my breast. Once it completely heals, I will start the chemo. They have to wait for the pathology results.
