Recovery is going well. Tomorrow (Tuesday) I start back at work. Physically I’m doing well. Mentally another week would be great 🙂 I’m still sore and I still have some limited range in my arms but nothing too bad. My chest is mostly numb and it feels strange to touch – it feel like if you were hugging a pillow and someone touched the the pillow, you can’t feel the touch but you can feel the pressure in the back. The thing I really miss is feeling Grace put her head on my chest; that’s one of my favorite things as a mom is holding Grace and having her rest against me. Hopefully that will return.
I had my follow up at my Surgical Oncologist today which went well:
- Healing looks good – she was asking what the strange line across my left boob was. I said it was there since surgery. She thought maybe there was tape. It is peeling so she said to put Neosporin on it
- Small lump – She looked at the small pimple size lump and did an ultrasound. She thinks it’s a stitch or scar tissue. The ultrasound didn’t show anything. She said if grows to come back and she’ll do a punch biopsy and remove it all. I noted it hasn’t grown since I noticed it. I joked that this is my new norm – calling her if I notice anything, she said yes that’s exactly it.
- Follow up – I see her again 3 months after radiation
