Doing time!

Thanks for your positive post! I have my first check up mammogram this week, can't believe it's almost a year since surgery, it feels more like last week. Not looking forward to being back in the clinic.

Thank you so much for this wonderful post.

It has made me much more positive mid treatment , xx

Hi , I don’t come onto the forum so often these days . Had double lumpectomy in September followed by radiotherapy . There were lots of set backs with infection and cording but I seem to be over the hump now . Just want to say that 8 months  on and I feel “ nervous” about life . To the outside world I look like I’m doing well , what ever that is these days , but inside I feel traumatised . I’m doing all the positives but right now that’s the place , nervous .  Being able to come on here and just be honest is a relief . Lots of love to you all x

I think it would be nice if we all remembered to pop back on with positive stories at points in the future …2 years, 5 years clear or whenever. It would be nice for the ladies behind us tj see more of this when they first start using the site. I spent hours desperately searching for lymph node positive stories when I was told it was in mine. I know it doesn’t change my own situation or risk status but it does help to see that there are plenty of people who getting on with their lives after a similar diagnoses. 

thanks for the positive story Galligirl. Best of luck to you. Xx

So good to see positive thoughts. Helps when I'm feeling low/not well, struggling with what the future may hold! Thank you. Jo x

Oh I agree !!! Hearing peoples success stories helps so much . Keep them coming !! 

Hi  its nearly 3 years since end of my treatment. Just on the meds now. 3rd mammogram October this year. I get anxious about the appointment and work myself up thinking the worst. I to check regularly, every few days perhaps a bit much !  But I am well, ok very stiff and achy, but at work in a very busy demanding job, and looking forward to going to corfu in a few weeks.  I had horrid results 19 nodes positive and 2 surgeries,  chemo, rads, grateful for all the treatment and moving forward best I can.  Thoughts always with everyone  xxx

Absolutely agree 

the first month is a worry of  not knowing. Then the remaining time is a worry of what if. So success positive stories are great news to people first diagnosed and also life after treatment. So it would be great to add to the posts of recovery and remission. Sending love x 

Waiting for my first mammogram post treatment. Its always in the back of my mind and yes do check boobs but only once a month. It is hard trying to get back to normality especially post covid too but taking each day as it comes x

Thank you  

It is so brilliant to read of success stories and is helping me as I'm about to start what seems a long road of treatment. 

All the best
