A few different nurses have come in to change out the sponge and drape on her wound vac in the last week, and it’s quite an uncomfortable procedure for her

Yesterday, our nurse had noticed a lot of of little metal pieces on @luvbnamome’s chest wall, so he started pulling them off her chest wall.

He had never seen anything like it before in all his years of nursing, but notified us by text a few hours later that they were used during @luvbnamome’s surgery.

Today, @luvbnamome had her stitches removed that are from the removal of several lymph nodes that all tested negative for cancer.

We told @luvbnamome’s surgeon that the nurse removed the magnesium clips and he was surprised that the nurse removed the clips, because they were clamping blood vessels.

We were also told that @luvbnamome is ready for skin grafting on her open wound. Her mastectomy was 2 weeks from today and she is currently cancer free.

Please keep @luvbnamome in your prayers, and ladies be sure to keep up with your Breast Self-exams, and go to your doctor immediately if you find the tiniest lump.

WoW!....:)...

I hear that. I think I’ve said the word more that a few times throughout this experience.

Glad to see @luvbnamome is cancer free and things are looking up..... take care @runridefly

ps... I didn't really check out the images until now, but wow, hope she gets well soon!! Stay strong and take care. Will keep positive vibes headed your way.

@streetstyle, it’s been a crazy journey my friend. I’m exhausted and emotionally spent. We will take a big fat vacation when @luvbnamome feels like she is ready.

You are both in my thoughts and prayers @runridefly. Give her our best.
