Hello all,

I’m new here.

I was diagnosed 5 weeks ago and am awaiting left side mastectomy as cancer difused in left breast and removal of 16-20 lymph nodes as it has spread, followed by radiotherapy and I have also been advised thatI am likely to have chemotherapy at the end. At moments the whole things feels surreal andI have other moments of swinging between anger and desperately sadness. I suppose it’s taking 1 day at a time kind of thing. Nice to find this online community.

Hi Debbie123

On a similar journey. I had surgery 12 days ago. Wide excision lumpectomy and full axillary node clearance. It's swollen and painful but less than it was initially. I get my results early Jan. Strangely I don't feel anger, just resignation. I am mid sixties, I just felt I was bound to get something eventually. I am doing the arm exercises to help my arm to recover and get it in a better position if I need radiotherapy. A bit in limbo I suppose. Fingers crossed it hadn't spread too far. I was told it is grade 2 but don't know what stage I am yet.
