None of us wanted to be in this group, but we are glad we're not alone.
Diagnosis 2/8/17 IDC Her2+, 22mm, with spread to several lymph nodes. TCHP chemo started 23/8/17, Mx with immediate, temp recon 24/1/18, rads 20/3 to 10/4/18, Herceptin by IV until Nov 18. RR Mx Jan 23. Still waiting for reconstruction, but opting for simple implants, as opposed to Diep, due to long waiting lists for diep.
God bless you Kacang for surviving 2015
Shellian - I remember long long before I needed to escape here and rant and rave. I screeched at my daughters ' You didn't come with a F88888888 manual'
And they said neither did you
The moral being this is poo and doesn't come with manual that either we, family or friends can refer to.
So I work very very hard to be non judgemental and allow people space to rant and rave. My other half goes for ostrich up his btm approach
And some days it works and some days it is poo
Good luck to you and yours on this ridiculous journey

Hope this helps you make it to 3,500!,
If I cant sleep after so long I come in here to see what people have been writing and know I’m not the only one awake!!it is strangely comforting..but not for them I guess..
have you had a nice Christmas?To be honest I am glad its all over,and the hype...but I did enjoy a few things...the Carol Service,where we sang my fave Carol,and a couple of the ladies asked me if I’d like to meet them for coffee,and also my great-nephew who was sitting by me on the sofa stroking my hair...lovely.
Good luck all who have appointments tomorrow . Mine is Thursday morning with onco and be glad to see it over and done with . I read my results letter wrong but was put right by a nursing friend of mine who was in theater day I had my op so will talk it through tomorrow with my BCN as thought only 1 node affected but it was 1 micro met and 15 positive and hormone positive but HER negative if that makes sense to anyone as not very good at understanding these things . Just know my boob is now like a bap and a large scar under arm going down to my boob . I hate the look of it but also think that bap shows I got on top of it and I will get better. Reading through your posts I see you mention your hubby and although mine is I'll sometimes I think he doesn't care what I'm going through as when I try to talk to him he says well they will put you right and then walks away .I want to tell him sometimes how I feel but wonder is he bothered now as was good when I come home after having it done but didn't last long and now he seems to think I must go back to nursing him. I do look after him but I want to be looked after sometimes.Sorry about the long post but feel better writing how I feel down xxxxFran
Dear Joanne (JammyR) and mrsox, wishing you both all the best with your appointments today. LP wants to wish you......
