Cancer cells found

Yes, ive always had a contact point, which is good. She is available treatment or no treatment, but i very rarely use them as my need is not as much as others but its good to know I can. I keep her informed of any changes physically so the hospital are aware 

Hi louise, sorry i ve not posted on here recently. Your post says that you were upset, so sorry to hear this n hope you are ok?  Thinking of you... Xx

How are you doing sweetheart,?  I start treatment on Monday, been a long time coming. Xxxx

I know you do and wish you good luck, you will be fine hopefully. Everybody is individual, just trust your instincts amd the drs! Xx

Well i saw the plastics surgeon yesterday. My lump has got bigger and i am aware of pain around it. I am due to have surgery within the next 2 week which im sort of dreading. The skin cancer specialist is also ringing me this week to discuss things. I just feel confused at the minute xx

Hi louise. How are you doing 3 days in? Has the chemo haf any effect? For me i i felt sickly whilst the radiotherapy had yet to kick in. Thinking of you xx

Hi , have you had a date for your surgery yet? Will this be to remove the affected lymph node? I hope your call comes quickly from the oncologist too so at least you know what the plan will be. The waiting around for appointments, scans, surgeries, treatment plans etc., really is the worst isn’t it?

Hi, no date as yet. When i saw my surgeon on 18th he said it would  be in the next 2 to 3 weeks. I am due a groin dissection and dreading it tbh. No one has contacted me to date either for the surgery or from the skin cancer team who are expected to call this week aswell.

My lump is painful too sometimes. On Monday i had terrible pain around my chest, back and armpit region. I had to discharge myself from hospital eventually as although my ECG showed as Ok I was not prepared to wait over 5 hrs just for the drs to take bloods.

I am still unwell but ill wait til i have my surgery date or the cancer team take bloods.

Thanks Nikki

Aww  you’re really going through it at the moment aren’t you? Hopefully you’ll get a date through really soon for the surgery, it’s not something you’re looking forward to I’m sure but on the other hand I can imagine you just want it done & dealt with! Please let us know when you hear something, I’m thinking of you.

So today I was given my date for surgery ...next wed 2 march. Pre op assessment this Monday. Cant complain, again everything done within the 2 week timescale. For me having prev had anal cancer and now this surgery in my lymph node  is an emotional challenge in the sense of how i feel and look sexually or in regards to relationship goals. I like my shapely legs, of sorts lol n having the thought of fat swollen legs never mind scars on my inner thigh is something i find hard to deal with.
