Surgery went as planned on Monday and I even got to go home that same afternoon. I actually feel pretty good! This time around is much easier than the first mastectomy because no lymph nodes needed to be removed. It means I have use of my right hand and arm, and that's made a huge difference. I also think my frame of mind is so much better that it helps with recovery, too. This time there are no pathology reports to wait on to see what stage, where is the cancer, what will treatment be, and during all that waiting your mind automatically goes to the worst end of the spectrum, thinking of all the horrible scenarios that could play out. This time the only thing ahead of me is a pair of beautiful implants and a day at the beach. So for now I head back to the doc every week or so while my skin expands and will get the implants around Mardi Gras. How appropriate!
