Hi there
It’s 2 weeks next Monday since I found my lump. I was diagnosed on our silver wedding anniversary, agreed treatment plan on my son’s 21st birthday and met my oncologist on my birthday. I had 4 lots of chemo, lumpectomy, 4 more lots of chemo, finally followed by 20 sessions of radiotherapy. Finished a week before lockdown number 1 last year. I’ve found strength in others and myself that I never knew existed, if you’re newly diagnosed and offered help - take it. I have lymphodema as a result of losing some lymph nodes, but I was referred and am getting help.
I had a bra fitting at my local M & S store today, to get a good, supportive bra to help contain the lymphodema. It was a brilliant experience, the lady was so lovely, really kind and reassuring. I was apprehensive but now wish I’d done it sooner, well worth the time.
If anyone has any questions or I can help in any way, please let me know xx
