wow, amazing that you went to WDW so soon after your BMX!!!!
no way could i have done that...
i had my BMX on june 18th....so i'm at 5 weeks out....
i find it pretty painful - the pulling and pressure....
i have pretty good range of motion - complete on my left (the prophylactic side) and almost complete on my cancer side where he also did an axillary node dissection..
i'm glad i went to this surgeon - he tends to the conservative, so even though the sentinel node was negative, he still did the axillary node dissection since i had had cancer in the nodes in the original diagnosis..
as it turned out, though the sentinel node was negative, it was what is referred to as a false negative, because two of the other 10 nodes that were removed still had cancer in them, as did the adipose tissue (AKA fat) around the nodes ...
so bottom line, in addition to the radiation that i knew i'd have to have, i'll have to have another 6 months of chemo...(although it's possible that the oncologist always planned on giving me more chemo after the radiation because i'm triple negative)...
i was pretty bummed about it last week when the pathology report came back, but i'm ok now....managed to go back into denial which i'm pretty good at...
good thing i reserved the big family trip for summer 2019!! i should be ok to travel by then...
i'm going to the beach tomorrow with DH and our 4 year old grandson..
i forgot to look for a new bathing suit so i just mutilated my old one...
cut out the underwire bra in it....kind of funny...
it doesn't fit very well, but in any case, i always wear a rash guard over my suit, so it doesn't really matter...
i have to find myself a speedo ...i'm guessing that will fit best...
