My last chemo treatment was four weeks ago. I didn't do the last two "recommended" treatments due to numbness in my hands and feet. Turns our that the Oncologist wasn't too concerned, and thinks the chemo I have received is enough. I am thankful.
I will have a simple mastectomy on both sides on December 13th. It is considered to be an out-patient surgery which means I will go there in the morning and come home sometime later in the day. I am astounded! They will send me home with two drainage tubes coming out of each no-longer breast, each drainage system is attached to a bulb that will collect fluid that I need to empty and measure several times a day, for the first four to seven days. Thankfully I am still a bit with it and have two nurses at home. I can't imagine being an older woman sent home to deal with this alone...
Thea will be home from Oregon on December 12th and will be a great help at work during a very busy few weeks...
So much to be thankful for!
