Tomorrow I'm having surgery, to get this cancer out of me.
Unfortunately, it's not as simple as "remove lump – done". Instead, it'll be a multi-stage process, like this:
So... yay.
While surgery will be no fun at all, my pre-surgery time is kinda nice. Because of Covid regs, I have to isolate for three days, so I am currently chilling out upstairs. I don't have to get up on time, I don't have to get the kids ready for school, I don't have to cook dinner... I'm just relaxing, playing video games, and watching endless television. It's the best break I've had in years.
Wish me luck!

Stage 1: remove lump
Stage 2: check lymph nodes in case of spreading
Stage 3: kill surrounding area with RADIATION!!!
Stage 4: use hard drugs to stop cancer regrowing
Stage 5: wait 5 years and check to see if cancer is back (20% chance that it is)
So... yay.

Date: 2022-02-10 06:15 am (UTC)Seriously though, just thought to look you up again in ages, and wow, what a thing to read! So sorry.
I have a former colleague currently in remission from breast cancer, now still doing radiation things, so I have a very slight idea of the scary machinery involved and how it feels to do all that.
Wishing you lots of luck and a very healthy immune system and lots of comfortable downtime and quiet kids and an amazing househusband.
Take care. Use this time to catch up on all the tv shows/ games/ crafts you've been meaning to since having kiddoes... ;-)
