The end I hope

Postby Shirrine » Sat Aug 19, 2017 12:25 am

10 surgeries and 15 stays in hospital in 2 1/2 years.
Now I have hopefully finished this last hospital stay I was reflecting on the many problems I have had in the last 2 1/2 years.
This all started with a bladder op and as I was healing from that I had a displaced broken rib. This was by far the most painful thing I have ever had. 5 weeks later I had my scheduled mammogram and they found the cancer in my right boob.
April saw me have a lumpectomy but my margins were not clear so mastectomy was done. Chemo was decided after that. Port put in after first chemo. Then I had a couple of ambulance trips after which they found a blood clot in my heart. This was the scariest thing I found with all this.
I finished chemo and was to get the port out and same time got an infection in the old mastectomy site. I have had 6 of these that have put me in hospital. Last year I had a bone density scan and found I had lost 12% of my bone density so had an infusion to help with that and ended up in hospital for 3 days.
Late last year I decided to get reconstruction after all. 8 hours in surgery with problems getting blood flow.
June saw me recovering from shoulder surgery and I am just out of hospital from 2nd stage of my reconstruction.
Now to heal and start living life as I want to.

Shirrine, what you have gone through is incredible. Sending white light and prayers that this is the end of the journey.
