Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / December 2006feeling festive but stuck in !!
hello everyone, just a quick update! today is 3 weeks post op on my free tram surgery. new breast looks amazing, very comfortable (suprisingly), keeping it hoisted up and secure,though feeling like a trust up chicken !! Incision on tummy looking great, though I have swelling, so its not flat yet. Am doing a little housework then resting.Going for short walks,but its difficult as its so cold and icy. best wishes to you all. Kathleen > hello everyone, > just a quick update!

Hugs Mary Kathy, You're such an encouragement to me....I just wished we lived closer. My expander is in and I can feel it and it feels so odd now compared to the breast bone I've felt since May. Every 3 weeks they will expand me more. My drain site is painful today. Pami Will take awhile for you to have a flat stomach...glad you are feeling well and able to enjoy the holiday.

Sounds like you are well on the way...Stay patient, and keep up the good work! Happy Holidays! Barb thanks everyone, just returned fron the hospital where they toook away 200mls of fluid from my tummy. I'm not a yummy mummy with a flat tummy !! if only !! kathleen > Hello Kathy, > So glad to hear that your recuperation is going well.

I haven't been that for fifty years! Just wait ... :-) Mary I had that experience too, a seroma, the only good thing about it was that I couldn't feel the needle go in. I hope you felt better with the fluid out. Alex " >I had that experience too, a seroma, the only good thing about it was that I >couldn't feel the needle go in. I had that after my mastectomy. >I hope you felt better with the fluid out. I'm sure you did! I hope it clears up really quickly. Yes Alex, I anticipated pain when the needle went in, but there wasn't any.Still feeling very tight around the abdominal area, but do you know.... I am counting my blessings ! best wishes to all Kathleen >I had that experience too, a seroma, the only good thing about it was that >I couldn't feel the needle go in. > I hope you felt better with the fluid out. > > Alex > " I forgot to mention, the one thing that helped me reduce the chance of fluid recurring is a surgical binder - a DALE binder which the PS gave me. It helps to wear it at night. I felt I could coping with the fluid as long as it was not cancer, aggravating but not life threatening. > Yes Alex, I anticipated pain when the needle went in, but there wasn't > any.Still feeling very tight around the abdominal area, but do you know....

My stomach would feel 'lost' without it.Funny enough, my stomach is getting 'squiggy' again with fluid.Thats ok, everything will get sorted in good time. I am healing well and healthy...thats the main thing.
