davidsprincess's Journal, 13 Apr 24

Had a right partial mastectomy. I prefer saying lumpectomy. It is the same thing and sounds less serious. Somehow tissue was taken out but I gained 6 pounds. Same thing happened when I gave birth to my daughter. Had an 8 pound baby and came out with a 15 pound gain. Hoping to feel back to normal soon. Thankful there is very little chance that it is cancer but wishing I could do all the things I need to do around the house. Beautiful weather here and Saturdays are my day to get everything done- yard and house and groceries- but I can't lift more than 5-10 pounds for 2 weeks and it is a terrible thing to have to rely on others. Very blessed that I made it through without issues and looking forward to getting back to business weight loss-wise next month. I have 2 dogs looking at me- well 1 of them is wondering what is going on and why I'm not taking them on walks. The other is too dumb to notice anything is different. Just checking in. Hope you all are well.

Thanks for checking in, been thinking about you. Hope you're not too sore from the lumpectomy, that you get back to feeling normal soon and that the results come back clear.

Your fluid balance will re-establish itself as you recover. Heal well and quickly. My lumpectomy years ago had to be done on the already smaller side, so basically I used a little recycled shoulder pad from a lightweight jacket to act as a 'load-leveler' back when I cared. ;-)

Thanks all! Gopher- yes mine was taken from the smaller side too. I thought it would be marble sized but the surgeon told David it was egg sized. 😬 I appreciate your ideas to even it out. My follow up isn't until the 17th and I guess then I'll have a better idea of what it looks like.

Lumpectomy does sound better! Sorry you had to go through that but it's good that you can take it easy for a bit

I was wondering why you hadn't posted in awhile, and was hoping everything was ok. Prayers for a positive follow up visit and smooth healing.
