Sitting what a pain ☺

I had surgery 2 weeks ago removal of scc in groin front to back... 17 stitches one side 5 on other.  4 removed .  Got infected so hot stuff down there.  Living on pain killers and antibiotics.   Laying down mostly. Sitting not good and walking like I'm still sitting on horse back. Waiting on final results that it's all gone. Lucky I have a loving husband  not sure if will ever will be able to make love again but atleast I'm still hear and am going to enjoy our lives together in what ever we do.  Looking ahead wanting to go camping as soon as I can.   Wishing every one the best and that I think for me looking ahead to more happy days sitting by camp fire and nice roast in camp oven. With a glass of red wine. 😊 days

Hi Lilly1,

 

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your story on here. I'm glad to read you have a joyful mindset looking ahead with your life with your husband after all of this.

If you need any additional support around side effects or post-treatment life adaptation you can always call our 13 11 20 line to talk to one our consultants or get a referral to our counselling or peer support Connect service. The Connect service can link you in with a person who has also gone through a similar cancer journey to you, and you'll be able to get some peer support around it all or ask any questions.

 

I'm hoping your upcoming results are all good news.

Hi @Lilly1 ,

 

Oh my goodness , you poor thing, what a horrible experience for you.

 

I've had a few skin cancers removed, actually more than a few, as I love the beach and walking, but never had a skin cancer down there, must be extremely painful.

So sorry.

 

But you have a good attitude and it WILL heal, I just want you to know I'm thinking of you.

 

Sending healing thoughts and hugs,

 

Cindi xx❤️
