so its only been 11 weeks since I went to the doctors with a lump in my left breast, 2 surgeries later and I hoping to start my chemo next week.. my first operation was 5 weeks ago [a mastectomy with reconstruction] which failed I had to have my implant removed because my wound got infected so I had it removed and I have an expander in for now . so next week the 2nd part of my treatment will begin ,and its so over whelming how quickly everything moves. so while im still processing losing my breast im now trying to get use the idea that I will be losing my hair.
Hi
Welcome. At times it does seem as if everything is rushing at you and you have no time to cope with one thing before facing the next.... at other tines there seems to be lots of waiting... for appointments, for results etc.
Do keep posting, lots of fab folk here will have similar experiences and can offer advice and support.
You can vent, rant, get a shoulder, a hug, voice your fears etc.
If you are awake in the small hours, the Awake thread is where other non sleepers are...all of the above and where appropriate a silly smile.
Sorry surgery didn't go to plan and good luck with the next steps in your treatment.
Now for that hug
Take care
