your right it's the place to come to rant ,rave ,vent ,cry or have a laugh with others who know exactly where you're coming from cos that's where we've been .

.Ask questions on here someone will have had the same experience and will support much better than outdated google.

I had sentinel node removal no rads but having chemo plus others on profile . Mainly depends on type of cancer also pre/post menapausal 

My op prior to treatment plan others get plan before again depends on how much info they get initially .

Hi Margaret,

Thanks for your reply, I’m feeling a bit better now - decided to call my sister rather than sulk, lol!

Apparently she didn’t want to be part of the constant barrage of people calling and asking the same stuff as everyone else. She was a little surprised to hear that literally no one had called since I told them all 5 weeks ago.

Also decided not to focus on what I might or might not have to go through after the op, I’ll try to focus on what I can control.

Hi lyingwitch

feel free to read my profile, really sorry you had to join us but glad you have. You will get lots of support and advice here. I had mastectomy, lymph node removed in June, thankfully my lymph node was clear and it was such a relief has I had good clear margins. I was fortunate not to have chemo or radiotherapy, like you I was more worried about having them than having the mastectomy. I think it depends what they find in the breast in pathology after the operation before a definite post op treatment plan can be decided, I am on letrozole tablets. Hopefully you will get good results , stay positive, keep in touch with the group, good luck

Glad you're feeling a bit better ah ! Well that's the first problem sorted people just don't know how to react unless they been there. So yeah can understand sister .we decided on plan mine would text and if I wanted to speak or have company I would text back lol

I also nominated a couple of friends in different friend groups to spread the word so I didn't have to constantly repeat . They passed on the message that I was having op ,still me ,didnt mind talking bout it but no cuddles and that slightly tilted head "How are you " lol

If you have read my story you'll realise I didn't really have time to worry too much so just did one step at a time turns out it is the best way .

just focus on now .

Hi Dreamthief, 

I’m doing okay, thanks. It all went very well, went home in the morning, then had the drain out on Tuesday and all looking good.

I get biopsy results on Wednesday so fingers crossed

Hey Margaret,

I did a bit of housework yesterday - just pottering, nothing heavy! Nonetheless, I did overdo it a bit so having a proper camping out on the sofa today. Superhero’s and fairy tales are the order of the day!
