So we have made some headway today - finally a phone call from a chemotherapy nurse making an appointment for me to have my information chat about chemotherapy. AND not only that, finally, a date to start treatment. It is beginning to sound, even to me, that I am looking forward to this. I am not but I feel I need to take the first step in the journey in order to be closer to the end of it.
One piece of advice I have received from my nurse is that I should count the treatment down in cycles rather than weeks as there are only 6 cycles but they cover at least 18 weeks. Seems reasonable!
Other than that, the scar continues to heal, the puffiness is less everyday although I have to admit today it has felt a little swollen and the prosthetic has felt slightly less comfortable than yesterday. I thought this was simply due to the me starting the massage therapy on the scar last night. Seemed highly plausible that the scar would feel a bit different having had a good old rubbing yesterday. The prosthesis (New Boob - NB) felt so heavy earlier that I ended up taking it out for ten minutes to give myself a rest.
It was only when I came to put it back in that I discovered the reason for my discomfort.
I had been wearing it upside down.
Hate the term 'lol' but I did just that. You pillock!!!
