Well today is my surgery day. Had the guide fitted yesterday as the cancer is so small. For that I am grateful. I’ve never had surgery before and I am terrified. So far the breast care team have been very supportive.
The mammogram was what detected the cancer at such an early stage meaning less invasive treatment is the plan of care. I am looking forward to returning to normal life.
My thoughts are with all those facing this disease and the care givers that work so hard to support us
Hi
All done and back staying with my partner who has been a rock. Thank you for taking the time to messsge me. I hope all is well with you
The guide wire is fine. Not sure if all do it the same but I lay on table with breast hanging through hole and they jacked me up like a car and worked underneath. I think I sang out loud as they were a humourless pair and gave me funny looks. I sing to distract myself but usually in my head but as I'm lying there and can see nothing I thing I might have forgot! It's like the biopsy, clamped in mammogram, sharp scratch and done. Then standing up mammogram to ensure in tight position.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
