Today is day 5 past my chemo day in the 'healing chair' having received my healing elixir! Positive attitude meditation is helping heaps. A cd to help you through treatment through visualization and relaxation at the time, before and afterwards. I didn't even feel the needle and cannula being inserted, so it was either the skill of the nurse or a bit of both. Here is me with my ice gloves on!!!! Brrrrr!! I needed the meditation to cope with my frozen fingernails.
Last time, this day I was back at the hospital desperate for something for the pain, but I have been keeping up a base line of Panadol and it's worked!!!! I only have a bit of pain but I am managing it well.
Mum and I went for a walk today to enjoy the beautiful weather. Yesterday I sat in the sun enjoying my new day bed that John bought me while Elizabeth (yes my cleaner!!!) cleaned my dirty house!!! Life is blissful and everything is right. While sitting there I created and coloured in my treatment plan in a visual drawing. I'll colour in the tumours and treatments as they are completed.
So sitting in the waiting room at The V, waiting for the plastic surgeon. I've already seen one guy privately who thought he was 'one of the best', I'm sure he is!! So this is the public guy so I'll have something to compare it all with. Still to decide public vs private. Very confusing - except for the dollars, that's unmistakable. Plastics only work with some breast surgeons and plastics only work out of some hospitals but not others.
There's so many different methods to choose from - depending on how much surgery you are up for. So far I'm thinking I might have bum boobs!!!! A buttock lift at the same time - by default. So they'll use my buttock muscle inside my boobs instead of silicone implants. At least it will grow and change with you like they normally would.
Oh well - we'll see what he says.
Lots of positives there which is great to hear. Good on you Kym. I think you are looking younger with the shorter hair
