Hello from a new member

Hello Fairydust 

A warm welcome to the Online Community although I am so sorry to find you here.

I see you have already joined the breast cancer group - why not introduce yourself there in the "New Here - Say Hello" section. You will be assured of another warm welcome.

Best wishes - Brian.

Thank you, great idea I will do that!

Hi Fairydust, Sounds like you’re on the same timeline as me. What’s your diagnosis and what surgeries did you have? How are you doing with it all? 

Hi Evabit, thanks for your message.

I had a single simple mastectomy and lymph node biopsy, as well as existing implants removed from both sides and then had a second operation to remove hematoma swellings which developed and couldn't drain, so am around 6.5 weeks from the second surgery and 8.5 from the first. I should find out next week if chemotherapy will be beneficial as a preventative of recurrence. It was a bigger procedure than I realised so the healing was longer but I am feeling good now and pleased that this part of the process is done! 

I hope that yours is all going as well as it can and that you are feeling OK about it all?
