Hi Guys, long time since I last posted so here's the update 👀

The bruising I had on my previous post has now gone, however, there is still some kind of internal bleeding going on 😔 I've had 510ml of blood drained from my b**b within 6 days 😴

Scans haven't shown anything that would be causing is so we're at abit of a loss. It looks like I may have to reconsider the implants (boo 😔)
And begin to think about having the DIEP,,,,,, tissue reconstruction.

This is a massive operation that I have been avoiding at all costs as it is a 10hr op, week in hospital, 2 wound site's. Although I would get a flat stomach out of it 🤣 silver lining and all that!!!

Anyways, I haven't made any decisions yet, but I do know I am sick of having to constantly have my b**b drained, it's painful and I just can't carry on as I am 🥴🥹

I've stuck some info below for anyone wondering what a DIEP is.

Oh and, HAPPY NEW YEAR, Hope yours has started better than mine 🤣🫶🏼❤️

Evening guys, I hope your all doing well!
Long time since I last posted!!
Things have been going OK, to an extent.
However, this is me and where there's me there's complications 🥲
So over the past 4 weeks, my original mastectomy side has become bruised, which has gradually gotten more painful and more bruised 😮‍💨
Anyways Long story short, I went to have it scanned Thursday night and turns out I have an internal bleed🥲
They managed to drain some off (40ml) which was pure blood, but they couldn't tell me why its happened and couldn't tell where the bleedings coming from. So MRI on Wednesday to find out.
Fingers crossed this will resolve itself and won't have to have more surgery.
It's painful and putting alot of pressure on my chest and arm.
Absolutely fed up😮‍💨

What a woman! She will always be Sandy to me.

Hi guys ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹
Here's a little update seen as I haven't been on here for a while.

I was so 50/50 posting this. But you know what, 4 months difference here and I am so f***ing immensely proud of myself for having to go through such a pile of steaming sh*te and still come out smiling!!!!!

As a women, b**bies are 1 of our main assets, so to lose them is a feeling of loss & grief I can't begin to explain. I thought I'd never be happy with the way I look again, but here we are. Loud and fu***ng proud. The big C can f**k right off. Healing is a long process.
Give the time, some time. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Keep checking those melons, mine tried to kill me, but failed, miserably!!!!! Keep checking!❤️‍🩹🎀

I will be forever greatful to ALL the nurses, doctors and consultants that have looked after me at Spire. I'm totes emosh🤧 but now I can get on with my life ❤️ peace out ✌🏽

March 23rd...

2 weeks post op and WHAT a difference! Look at that healing 😮 I am absolutely amazed how well their doing. Massive credit to my consultant at Spire!! He has done an incredible job 🙏🏼

I'm still having up and down days right now. I think i need to go out and just feel 'normal'.
Back to see consultant tomorrow night to hopefully have the second drain removed.
Although I'm not holding my breath as its still not playing ball and still filling up too much 😮‍💨

Hopefully have the results of the biopsies too🙏🏼

March 17th...

Tonight I saw my consultant again, in hopes of having the drains removed and the results of the biopsies that were taken when I had my second mastectomy...

Well. 1 drain was removed (better than none) so it looks like I have the other 1 with me a little longer than expected 😒

Results wernt back. A little dissopointed as I had gassed myself up 🙄
But it's oki, because weather it's a good result or bad result it will be the same weather I'd of had it tonight or in 2 weeks time.

Next appointment is in 2 weeks. (31st) for biopsies results.
&
Hopefully get this second drain removed on Monday (if it starts behaving!)

It's been a really rough recovery up to now. Mentally and physically. I'm slowly getting used to this 'new me' but it will take some time.

Here's some recovery pictures 👇🏽
Still a little swollen, a little bruised, a little sore and little scary. But we move..

In the words of greatest showman
"I am brave, I am bruised, I am who I'm meant to be, this is me" 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Next.....!!!!!!
🙏🏼🤝🏼🎀

Oki,,,,,

So the whole been "not too bad" lasted a whole 3 days...
Today has hit different.
Today has hit hard.
This is MY reality.
I feel so poorly. I think I've finally realised that I haven't just been to have a tooth pulled out, I have had massive major surgery.
I can't just "bounce back"...😖

Today I've cried. All day. Half of the time I don't know why. The other half is because I genuinely feel like f*****g s**t!
I am in so much pain with these stupid ass drains, the site were they go into my body is right underneath my bra line, so you can only imagine how sore this is🤢
The Swelling is unbearable, I look and feel like Mr Bobby.

I'm tired guys, beyond exhausted.
I feel like I'm grieving, grieving for the body I once had, the one I'll never get back again. Sounds so so stupid, but that is how I feel.💔

I feel exhausted, sick, low and just want to cry. And I know that this is all OK, I know this won't last forever.

But for now, I need time to heal.
Mentally and physically 🎀🙏🏼❤

Morninggggg!!!👏🏼😃

Hey guys, so, the operation went really well 👏🏼
I feel like a huge weight has been lifted knowing that both b**bies are gone and are no longer a risk to my health! 🍀🙏🏼❤

I'm back home and doing well considering everything!
Carrying around 2 drains to help keep the fluid build up down.

I feel like I've had 10 rounds with Mike tyson!
BUT I'm here, I'm happy and I'm doing well!

Peace and love ❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

08/03/2022

The day is here!!!!👏🏼🥳

After a whole year of treatments and medication I'm finally having my 2nd mastectomy and FULL reconstruction 🥳

Roll on 4pm..

13/02/2022

Evening guys 😊

So I have finally got the date for my next operation!!
2nd mastectomy and full reconstruction of both b**bies!! (Finally getting rid of the expander 🥳)
So Tuesday 8th March come at me 👊🏽
I am so ready for this. This will massively reduce the risk of the cancer coming back🙏🏼

Keep checking!!!

Morning everyone 🙂

So last night i was back again to see my consultant, yes I had another drain, however, this time there was 300ml 😵‍💫 which is 110ml MORE than last time 😫
This time it was bad and I had to have a local anaesthetic because it was just too painful😓

The GOOD news is, we finally FINALLY discussed my next operation, which will be a second mastectomy and full implant reconstruction 🥳 to say I am relieved is an understatement🥳
Anyways it looks like it will be the beginning of next month!!! Bring it on 👊🏽👏🏼💪🏽
