Saturday 14th - Picture: ANC scar
You can see the scar there from the ANC (axillary node clearance) and the red dot underneath was the hole for the drain. The more faded red dot underneath, not sure what that was, possibly from the first operation, something to do with the SNB (sentinel node biopsy). Small blacky/grey smudge towards my back is just some sticky residue from the tape. It's hard to scrub off and also I can't reach there very easily.
I'm a 34-year-old female breast cancer patient, diagnosed in January 2009. Originally from New Zealand, my partner and I have settled in Brisbane, Australia, after living abroad for 6 years. This is my blog which I started after my diagnosis and just before my first hospital visit. It's to help me process what's going on and to record my treatments, thoughts, and feelings.
