Why the waiting!!!

Hi , sorry you find yourself here and yes the waiting is the pits. Must be especially tortuous for you at the moment as you haven’t got a date to focus on. It’s good news of course that the second lump was benign but maddening that it’s caused the cancellation of the original surgery date. Can only suggest you keep busy (easier said than done, I know) and come here to rant and rave as much as you like! Sending love and a big virtual hug your way, keep posting and let us know how it’s going. Fingers crossed that you hear about a new date very soon. HFxx

Hi HF

Thanks for the support xx I finally got my rescheduled date on Friday after many phones calls and afew tears!!

So i have surgery on 20th May...

I have also decided  to have some counseling with Cancer care to help me process  everything...

Things can only get better i hope xx

Well done,

Yes, the waiting is the pits but there are things that have to be done in the background, hence having to wait.  Regarding hearing what's going to happen, the hospital consultants will have a meeting with other breast surgeons to discuss and decide what treatment will be the most appropriate to you. 

Once you know what is planned for you, things will begin to fall into place.  Once treatment gets underway, you'll feel you've started your 'journey' towards the finish, and returning to 'living' again. 

In the meantime, it is stressful, with lots of questions popping up along the way.  You WILL get there

There's lots of support available, both from your Breast Care team and other agencies such as MacMillan / Cancer Care etc, which it sounds you've been in contact with.  Well done for seeking the support you need.  You'll reap benefits

Wishing you all the best

Hi , glad you have a date at last, so much better to have something to aim for. And also great that you’ve arranged some counselling. It’s definitely an emotional rollercoaster! Love and hugs, HFxx
