They did say that the fat tissue, once it's removed from the tummy will still gain weight when its reattached

Re: The Big C ......
I'm sorry, I thought I had mentioned her earlier in this thread, but looking back I obviously didn't. She was diagnosed two years ago, went through the treatments just like Mark's wife, and has been given the 'all clear' from the doctor about six months ago

Re: The Big C ......
The all clear is fantastic news Mac and hopefully Spudda will be telling us all the same news very soon.

Re: The Big C ......
She's now completed all of the chemo sessions although they didn't give her the 6th dose in the end.
Her immune system was low so they didn't bother and turned around and said that her body would probably not benefit from it anyway as its used to it. She was quite relieved really as it does knock her around so she hasn't got that discomfort to combat
The op was supposed to place at the QE in Birmingham but due to the Geographical location (Wolverhampton and Birmingham) they weren't accepting patients outside their area. This meant we were looking at either Oxford or Bristol. Anyway, after a lot of conversations and my size 11 up the consultants back side, we're now back at the QE
The final surgeon/consult/fun adjuster meeting takes place Wednesday this week and that's where they will talk procedures and dates.
Looks as if she's 95% certain that's she's having a double mastectomy
Thanks again for all the well wishes and comments

They've been really strong and supportive but then again we've never shown any weakness when we've been with them.
They've picked up on the odd conversation and asked the questions but we have a good circle of friends with kids the same ages and interests so they've been occupied

That's good Spudda. I'm glad there OK it must be a testing time for you all.
Stay strong mate, things will improve soon I'm sure.

Re: The Big C ......
Update time and sorry for not doing it sooner
The QE came back to us and said they couldn't do it afterall and no matter how much kicking off we did, it wasn't going to happen.
So she's now having an op done at New Cross .... Its not the op she wants but we know its the best we can get for now
So instead of the tummy tuck op, its now silicon implants with a view to getting the op she wants in 12 / 18 months time ..., not ideal but
Ok the Op is Friday 26th of June at New Cross, WolverhamptonSpudda wrote:

Re: The Big C ......
Thanks for all the well wishes
Yep, Friday the 26th of June is operation day .. Double Masectomy and 3 weeks of recovery
Just sat with her for an hour or so discussing things and shes still sooooo positive, its a credit to her
Ive got to take her in for 7am in the morning and I'll sit with her until they kick me out.
She'll be in over night and then she's spending her first week with her folks, to try and get as much relaxation and recuperation as possible before coming home on the second week
I dont know if its wrong or not but I fancy getting the bike out tomorrow whilst im off, to take my mind off things even if its a bimble to Quatt for a sarnie and a cuppa before picking the Spudlets up from school
We'll see what tomorrow brings ... to top it off, she's lost her nan today but that event was a matter of time, not if but when
Its a comfort knowing your thinking about us and I'll post tomorrow night after its done
Again, thanks for your thoughts
