Good News!

Well the news is good here! The tumour (which measured 23mm) that was removed had a good lining of healthy matter around it and the lymph nodes that were removed were cancer free too! That means that the Chemo and Radiotherapy that I will have are just an added way of ensuring that we have got to every last bit of this little invader! I am feeling OK, and as expected (and warned by some friends having similar surgery), the lymph node removal has caused me much more discomfort than the actual mastectomy, my arm feels like there is no skin on it at the top, very much like the sensation I had with shingles a few years ago, I understand it to be the nerve endings finding new friends and paths etc.
