Welcome from the Community team

Hi Kwissy,

Thank you for replying.

I hope you are feeling better and brighter and Kiradun too.

I am.okayish now and trying not think to much about it or keep looking at the lump under my arm. 

I will leave it a couple of days and ring my GP back for a chat. I have been discharged from Velindre and I was thinking about contacting my previous oncologist but as I am discharged she may tell me to go back to my GP.

I hope you have a lovely day and believe the weather is getting nicer this week.

Thank you for being so kind,

Hi LisaCardiff

Glad you are a bit better, I was called the next day about an appointment did have to wait for 2 weeks for it but was glad I had a date, why don't you give either Llandough or Cathedral Road a call, I'm sure it would put your mind at rest?

I'm calling Velindre today as I have a holiday booked for the beginning of September and even though my consultant has told me to go and enjoy, I am concerned about the start of chemo - he has told me they wont start chemo until 4 - 6 weeks after surgery which would fit in nicely with the holiday but part of me thinks if they start it now, I could have had 2 sessions undertaken by the time I return, just want a second opinion I guess.

Hoping you get your appointment soon

Hello Kiradun1,

First of all, contact Velindre and see what they say. It sounds like an idea and thank you for your reply

I had a phone call today from the Breast Clinic in Llandough and I have an appointment for Wednesday 26th August at 9.00am. While I am glad-ish I now have an appointment, I am scared. I am noticing all sorts of symptoms and I don't know if they have just come on or I have had them before. 

Anyway, you get stronger and enjoy your holiday.

Take care,

Hi LisaCardiff

So glad that you have now got a date for the breast clinic-sorry it's another wait for you but in the meantime keep posting on here  and keeping us up to date.It is strange how a lot of us notice all sort of symptoms at the stage you are at now and a lot of them fade away once you have a proper dignosis. Take care and try to stay positive. Sending lots of love and big hugs xxKwissy

I know it seems a long way off but it will soon be here, I did exactly the same, thought I had more pain, looked different etc but I do think we are just so focused on our problem areas that they overtake any rational thoughts, try and focus on other things and cross any diagnosis when you get it - easier said than done I know but try and stay positive .

Take care

Kira

Hi Kiradun1,

Sorry to go on and I worry about everything you are going through and you don't need me blathering on.

I hope you are feeling better and brighter today.

I agree, about the pain, the lump looks bigger, my breast looks bigger,.etc.,. I am trying to be positive and not think too much about it. I was like that when I went through cervical cancer. I knew I had but I thought to myself that I didn't. Yea, I had sepsis and learning to walk again which kept my mind on other things.

I am currently doing up my bedroom. Which is keeping me occupied and I am waiting for somethings to be delivered. 

Take care and stay safe,

I'm getting fed up with this, I just spent 10 mins penning a nice reply to someone and the site disconnected me and it's gone

Hi Kwissy, 

Thank you for your reassurance. I hope you are good and thinking about you.

I am keeping myself busy and doing up my bedroom. Just waiting for somethings to be delivered.

Yea, it seems a long way off but because I am such a scaredy cat, that is fine. When my dad takes me I will probably have a breakdown. Plus, I am trying not to look up things online, as it is awful. 

Stay safe and take care,

Lisa x
