It's over!
The drain came out on Saturday and it seems to have dried up.
I saw the surgeon this afternoon and he said I'm cured!
I'm clear!
No nasty little cancer cells.
No chemo needed.
Even the hormone stuff was my choice.
If I took the hormone pills (Tamoxifen) for the next 5 years, I shouldn't get breast cancer again.
But I could have problems with blood clots, stroke, and endometrial cancer as well as nausea, tiredness, and other uncomfortable nasty stuff.
Why would I want to go there?
I said NO!
Now, I've just got to get my arm working again.
Physio on Thursday.
Then I can forget all about it and get back to real life.
Wahoo!!!
