Hi, I’m so sorry to hear you are struggling. I had my operation two weeks ago now and have had up and down days since. I’ve realised that I’m not going to get over this quickly, it’s a huge thing to deal with. Take it one day at a time, talk to the people who care for you and plan some treats for yourself. I’ve always been a cheap supermarket underwear person but when I’m all healed I’m going to buy really fancy luxurious underwear to help boost my body image! Deciding that gave me something to look forward to! You have come so far already- be proud of yourself , sending love and hugs. Xx
Hi. What type of surgery have you had? You aren’t unusual if you’re struggling to come to terms with having had cancer! It’s very very scary. When I was first diagnosed I picked up the phone to two friends who had had breast cancer so knew exactly how I’d be feeling - it really helped. If you can’t do that then maybe a local support group?
Hi Fiona, thank you for the reply. I go appointment on Tuesday hopefully drainage will come out…? its painful moving around im so scared that it will ne painful? how did you get on?
I had no symptoms other than loosing 2kg between february-april, I thought i lost weight due to having covid. I went for my first mammogram and that's when i was told after the biopsy. Its all happened so fast it feels surreal.
I was thinking exactly the same about lingerie, it kind of feeling you again and feeling feminine lol
Im staying positive for the lymph node biopsy result too.
I has reconstructive (flap) surgery, still have drainage in side of body.
family and friends are wonderful my daughter has been my rock, even though, when everyone leaves i feel so alone and scare, how can i feel so alone yet have so many people to reach out to?
Sorry you are finding it a struggle I did for about 10 days and the fatigue was tough. Be gentle with yourself and rest and try and relax. Wishing you a speedy recovery X️
