I have stage 3 triple negative. Mastectomy in 10 days time. Very scared
It went surprisingly well. Don’t feel too bad at the moment & my arm is ok too. One thing ticked off the list. 3 weeks until next stage is decided, I think it is radiotherapy then chemo. Will be thinking about you & hoping chemo is kind to you. Sending you a big hug full of strength for you x
Just had hospital ring to do ct scan again before oncologist appt tomorrow, hopefully things moving forward now, im going to get a wall planner too! Xx
Yay I got one and started it from the day I found out I had breast cancer and I can’t believe it’s 26 days already
it does look really good if you cross off each day with a big black marker pen you can see from across the room the days achieved and key milestones I’m really hoping I don’t get any set backs likes blood not being good enough for a round of chemo but even if I do I’ll still be able to see how far I’ve got
I should have my last chemo 7th September but I’ve put a mark on 30th so I have given a bit of head room for delays Now I just ride the waves and cross off each day ( I love the ‘ride the waves’ it does help relaxation to think of just going with it)
I'm on day 37 now and still not started treatment, hopefully not too long right mindset can work wonders, we will do it ! X
How right you are about mindset I think it’s the most important thing we have We have to trust the clinicians with the medical stuff and treatment and we just focus on a positive mind and as you say we will do it
