Hi everyone
Thought I’d jump on here so I can pretty much let off a bit of steam, because I know you’ll understand. My last six months in short…
Mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour in Feb 2022, she deteriorated massively in Oct 2023.
Sept 2023, I had a two level neck fusion where during that surgery they paralysed my vocal cord. This meant more surgery at the beginning of Dec.
Called for my very first mammogram in Nov aged 52 (almost 53). Off I went, to a train station car park and got my boobs out, I even laughed about it!
Mum was admitted into a hospice 3 days before Xmas, so my awaiting results were ‘shelved’ and no more was thought of it, let alone tell anyone I had been recalled and three biopsies taken.
Fast forward past the recalls, biopsies, mri, confirmed cancer result in Jan (a week before my lovely mum passed away) and an MRI guided biopsy of an enhancement on the other boob, here I am.
One masectomy later with the results looming on Monday, I’m not too sure how to feel?
At the minute, it’s very tearful, wonky with just one boob hanging there, sore, scared for the future and not sure what next week will bring.
Im thinking of you all, going through the emotional time too, it’s got to get better, right ? Xx
Hi tlw18, what a rollercoaster you have endured
and I’m so sorry for the loss of your mum.
I am not surprised you are not sure how to feel. Be kind to yourself and fingers crossed for your results on Monday. Sending big hugs xx
Alfie 24
