Hello..I’m still working..finishing 9th July..I work in a school so will have treatment throughout the summer hols ..obviously had to cancel our family break to st Ives..but there’s always nxt yr!..reconstruction wasn’t mentioned I don’t think but I must remember to ask this when I go for ore op…I keep ready things but I’m like you I need to know as much as possible..take care..and let us know how your op goes..won’t be long now..xxx
I had the same surgery on 14th June. Don't worry about the injection for the dye, it's one small injection into the breast before the operation and the dye is put in during the operation. I had a grade 3 tumour and some lymph nodes removed and it was a lot better than I expected.
Just waiting for the results and treatment plan going forward, my appointment is Friday morning so just hoping it hasn't travelled beyond the breast.
Ahh thank you for your reply..iv no idea why I’m so anxious about a needle!!I feel better now thank you..it’s sad we are on here for the same reason but I’m so grateful for the support..i have everything crossed for your results..please keep me updated with all your treatment ..good luck.xx
Thanks for the good wishes, just had a phone call saying the tests on the tumour have not come back in time for today's MDT meeting so the appointment is postponed till next week!
Im getting abit of anxiety i think... keep breaking down.. But i know i have to have this op to get this little alien out of me.. People keep saying to me keep positive.. Majority of people i speak to dont have a clue on how ive been feeling over the last couple of weeks. I know they dont mean any harm, its just me.. x
Hi Betsycar, I have the same opp as you also on 7 July, same grade and stage, I have 2 lumps, together they are 25mm. I’ve been told about the dye, it’s booked as a separate appointment beforehand, so perhaps you don’t need the dye. It’s all such a lot to take in isn’t it.
