I'm glad that surgery is over and She is going home.

Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. Not Plants!

LOL@Trin! I need morphine some days, too! I'm gonna say healing prayers for your sis. Bless her heart - she is lucky to be having her first surgery ever at 48 but not lucky to have cancer. I wonder who sent the plant?!

Powerful thoughts of healing to your sister. I think it's possible she was so groggy, she thought she was talking to the person who sent the flowers. I was like that after surgery. My poor sister sat by my hospital bed for a couple hours when I asked for some of her milk shake. She wasn't drinking anything. LOL

Good for her! Hope the soreness doesn't last too long.

Yayyy! I am glad she is over this!
Those drugs make ya talk really weird! I know that from sitting at peoples bedsides.

Morphine can make you hallucinate so maybe there is no plant ( : I hope she gets better soon and beats the cancer.

Positive thoughts for your sister!

I'm glad she is past that part. I hope she's on the road to healing and feels better soon.

Thanks for letting us know that part's over. Hope she isn't too sore in the morning--or that some of that morphine came home with her.

Thanks for all your thoughts and support. Being the older sister, I wish I could have the cancer instead of her.
We have a really strong bond, and when one of us is down, it just screws us up emotionally. I would never let on to her, but I have missed several days of work being "sick at heart" I literally could not go to work I was so scared and upset for her.
I am not afraid to die, but I am scared of being left alone.

So glad it is over for her. She needs a body pillow. It is hard to get comfortable after any kind of breast surgery.

Remind her to use her arm on the side they took the nodes, so she won't get lymphodema. Our daughter has it very badly from hers..it's painful, but really improtant.
So glad she is on her way to being a breast cancer survivor! Isn't it wonderful how women are now surving this! Kathy

I'm so happy to hear the surgery is over! Now tell her to get ready..I've been Praying that she'll receive a visit from NED! *S*

Trin,
Sending good thoughts and prayers for her. I went through the lumpectomy and radiation 6 1/2 years ago, so I hope that she will be as fortunate. The one thing that helped me was following the diet they gave me after the surgery. It said to have lots of good quality protein - eggs, chicken, turkey. I can't remember what else. The diet helped me heal quickly. I'm sure that they will give her good advice. Another thing that helped me is that I started swimming when the surgeon said I could. Swimming slowly helped to stretch the chest and arm muscles.

Hugs to you.......I understand how you feel. I would rather be sick than my sister also. My thoughts and prayer for your sister for a quick recovery.

((((Trin)))) I'm a big sister too. My sister had breast cancer at 42 years of age. She opted for the lumpectomy, and chemo too. She had a port also. That was 15 years ago, and she remains cancer free. And my oldest daughter caught hers at a very early stage. Breast calcification, she opted for a mastectomy, with reconstruction at that time. This was 2 years ago next month. Keep the faith. Get your yearly checks. Early detection gives you the best chance at beating this monster.

Trin, thinking good thoughts for your sister and hugs for you.

"it is just one step closer to her being breast cancer free"

That is good news.

Will keep your DS in my thoughts & prayers!

Donna (^_^)

Glad she is heading home. That is the best place to be.
Tell her about my mom. She survived 2 breast cancers (non related one on each breast) and rectal cancer.
Mom is 75 now and going strong.
It's scary but lots of people get better!
Wishing her all the best!
Hugs, Kathy

Glad your sis has this past her and I wish her the best with the chemo port etc. She's probably just confused from all the meds.
I just said a prayer for her.
