Went to the doctor today first visit since surgery. Got 3 drains taken out I was so happy cause they sure do itch. One was a little read and irritate but its all good. The one drain they left is the one that is draining the most of the lymph fluid. The pathology report was not so bad. The tumor was 6 cm about the size of a lime. Dr. Chow said big for my size since I was not that big breasted any way. She took out 16 lymph nodes and only 4 was cancer. The margins were good and left breast was ok nothing there. So know the only thing that really bothers me is that under my right arm since they had to mess with the nerves is really sore and numb feeling. It feels like mush I don't like the feeling at all. But I am hoping with time that the feeling will go away and get back to normal. I am suppose to go back Monday on the 17th to get the other drain out as long as it is 30 and under of fluids. But it seems to be draining more and the nurse said it would. So not sure if I am going to get it out Monday. We will see. And let me tell you it is hard to take a shower with 4 drains hanging from your neck. One drain hanging from your neck is not so bad. So keep your fingers cross that I get the last drain out.
