I get chemotherapy. Three hours, two kinds of chemo, a total of four doses. I go once every three weeks.

I still have my big wound where I ripped open my surgical cut under my left breasted. No infection, just leaking intersticial (sic) fluid. My entire right arm hurts to touch and I don't yet have full range of motion. My right salivary gland keep swelling up which is weird and I woke up on four occassions with burning at the junction of my right thigh and underwear line. I woke up screaming in pain that I was on fire. It hasn't happened in over a week. Weird. Also, my right boob swells at my armpit but the surgical area for the lumpectomy is still numb. I have a series of pictures of the healing process. I have to get my competed fixed so I can add them. Mmy cousins and friends have been great with helping me. My immediate family can't really adjust to me being in need of anything. I am up to old habits but house keeping obviously impedes my healing process. More later.

I have been unable to post recently. I figured it out on the Kindle. I had surgery on May 21. Segmentectomy and lympnode removals plus reconstruction of both breast. I lost eleven pounds the day of surgery. I went in Monday and was released Tuesday. I was re-admitted Tuesday because of a surgical site infection. I had a p I c c or pick-line inserted in my left arm that dumps into my heart. This is an iv and med line in my arm. I was on iv antibiotics for sixteen days. Two days at the hospital and fourteen at home. Today I went for my radiation consult but I have to go for a chemo consult. I may get chemo first. I'll know in a month or less. My boobs went from H to C and shrinkage is expected. The pain is lingering and I am exhausted. I opened up the surgical cut under my left breast and now I have wound care.
