  • Hi Neevy35

    Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Breast cancer is very treatable these days and there is plenty of support out there if you are struggling.  You will no doubt find that some days are hard and other days are easy.  Just take it one day at a time.  Chemo isn't easy but it is doable and you will get plenty of support from oncology team.

    Wishing you all the best for your treatment.

    Best wishes

  • Hi. Very sorry to hear that. A very similar diagnosis to myself. Having left mammoplasty and right mastectomy. Will try to let you know how I get on. At least today has been a better day as can go out more (Boris permitting....) instead of moping indoors.Hugging

  • When is your surgery mine is 28th .  Yes went for walk wit my baby today was lovely 

  • Hi again, thank you for asking. Have been a bit busy getting things ready - have my op on Monday. Had to do blood test and Covid test, try and sort out my mobile phone as I decided to change the SIM as ASDA changing everything - it all went wrong. Otherwise I'm pretty well. Having sentinel nodes removed(which were clear on biopsies) but Surgeon insisted they go. Breast Cancer Nurses have said they will ring me at home after I come out of hospital to check things. Hope you are doing OK too.

  • Ah brill Monday mines on Friday. Yes same here he taking some out to have a look even tho was all clear . Covid test for me is Tuesday. Having really bad flare up wit my Crohn’s at the min but we hopefully that the steroids will ease it enough to get me fit and well for Friday as have not been good at all . Hopefully speak before Monday enjoy your weekend x 

  • Thanks. You too. I have a cousin who has Crohns. Do take it easy.
