Hello everyone
I'm getting results today from my surgery. I had LWE and auxiliary lymph node clearance 3 weeks ago.
I have suffered mentally throughout this whole process, always looking after myself, eating a vegetarian diet and swimming, riding, running, dont smoke or drink, I felt very angry at my diagnosis.
I had 3 fec and 4 docetaxel herceptin and perjeta and now continue with herceptin injections till next march2021. I was lucky in that apart from fatigue and a bit of sickness with fec, I've coped well with the rest of the treatment. Then surgery. I was told at my last breast MRI pre-surgery, I had had an excellent response to treatment.
I've recovered quickly after surgery and as I said await results. I'm really worried what they will say. I guess I may need more surgery or it may have shown up something more. Fingers crossed I can move onto radiotherapy and get on with my life.
It hasnt helped living with the man I love knowing he has another woman. It's been pretty hard to deal with. Wish he would just p*** off and go to his new victim. He couldnt cope with my diagnosis or how it made me as a person. His main concern at diagnosis was I would lose a breast!!!!! Shallow hal. Anyway I'll post what they say later when I hear.
Have a good day
Love julie x
Morning
this is such a challenging journey isn’t it. It sounds like you are doing all that you can to care for yourself and your treatment results have been positive. What more can you do. The treatments today are amazing! I have learnt though that worry doesn’t change any problem it just makes me feel bad. It’s hard but focus your attention on what you have, your hobbies, friends, values , your hopes and dreams
I am so very sorry to read how the man you love is unable to provide you his love when you need it the most. Surround yourself with people who care for you. This forum has been such a great support for me. It’s helped me to not feel alone..
keep us posted

Hi Charlieandlola,
Hope I'm not too late to wish you well with your results post op.At least today you will be told what they are and then you can start to cope with them . Fear of the unknown is a far greater enemy - it robs you of your day to day happiness.
I feel for you with your partener and his other woman and like you think it would be better for you if he were to go away.Perhaps when you have finished your treatment you will have the strength and support to send him away.
Let us know how you get on today Hugs from me xxx
I hope it went well today. Waiting for my surgery results was the worst wait for me- I was a nervous wreck for at least 4 days before!! It sounds as though you are through the worst of your treatment now - everyone says radiotherapy is a walk in the park compared to chemo!
Whilst it’s not quite the same situation, I can understand where you are coming from about your husband. Mine isn’t coping very well with my diagnosis - I’m now waiting for chemo to start- and he carries on with life as normal and really doesn’t like talking about it. He doesn’t like it if he’s not the centre of attention, and of course, at the moment he isn’t! It’s like dealing with a child at times!!
Anyway, I’m rambling on! But I do hope today brings you good news
Take care xx
Hi
the best of luck with your results I hope you get the good news you deserve. I know what you mean about the worry and being nervous my results are due on Thursday this week. I was doing really well up until today now the gremlins are sitting on my shoulder.
sorry to hear your partner is a shit face ... when you need someone by your side who is supportive and walks every step of the way with you when your on an emotional roller coaster you don’t need someone like that for sure. I do hope after your treatment that you find the strength to deal with him.
kind regards
That's so funny my friend and I call him shit face.....
Love julie x

Hello
I'm loving the shitface hahaha
No , I haven't told him. He asked and I said exactly that, non of your business! He wasnt there when I needed him the most. He will find out via others I would think. Hes let me down.
