The operation was done and everything went fine. The tumor got out together with 2 cm marginal and the x-ray dept and the surgeon agreed that it had come out completely. Now I have three weeks before the next check, during wihich the scars should heal. It looks good for both of them - the other one was made in the armpit to pick out a few lymph nodes to check if the cancer had spread. Nothing was found - they made a radio-isotopic scan before the operation, and a colour scan during the operation, and nothing was seen in the microscope either during the operation - now it all goes to patological research to study the matter more closely. I will hear then... if there is something found, the next opereation will be very soon, but it is not likely that they find something. Anyway, I don't think anything about it before I hear the results. To begin with, I have 6 weeks sick leave. It is for recovering from the operation - if there is some radsial thereapy to follow like there most likely is, it should mean prolonged sick leave. But we'll see then.



I feel fine, I have felt fine all the time. I have enough pain killers so I don't feel much pain in the scars which is a good thing, and they both seem to heal nicely so far. But I am really, really exhausted. I cannot understand it but there was some specialist in the hospital who came to see me and tell me what would follow and she said the operation would be followed by an incredible tiredness. So things are as they should be, I suppose :D!



I am mostly lying in bed and reading, and taking a nap in between - very often. I don't sleep well at nights, not yet, but I suppose it will settle with time too. I will write more details later.
