Back for results of lumpectomy

Hi SJM 

These periods of time waiting for things are just awful, aren’t they? Being conflicted between the horrible feeling of not knowing and yet being scared of what you may find out is so difficult, as I’m sure we all agree. Hopefully your appointment is soon so that you don’t have to keep being in that horrible limbo. While you are ant your anppointment ask to be examined thoroughly because you are worried. Hopefully they will be able to reassure that what you can feel in your breast is what would be expected after surgery. Mine was quite firm too after lumpectomy with lots of bruising but it all settled down after a couple of months.

Hang tight. Surgery is a huge part of any treatment plan and you have that one ticked off the list. We will keep everything crossed for good results for you. x 

Thank you so much.. My appointment is tomorrow, so nearly there my anxiety is through the roof!! You are so right this living in limbo land is really awful, tell yourself it’s all part of this shitshow we are going through, but as you say it’s so difficult!

I really appreciate your reply definitely not feeling so alone anymore  

️ & Healing to you xx

Good luck for your results. I had a lumpectomy 5 years ago and still have a rock solid lump where the lump used to be sited. It’s literally as hard as bone but I’ve even had private checks and there’s nothing to be concerned about. That said always bring up anything that concerns you x 

That’s reassuring, Thank you I will definitely get it checked out tomorrow!

I really appreciate that you have taken time out of your day to reply x

I just want to say I hope everything goes ok tomorrow, I know these appointments are horrible. I remember crying outside before I went in for results of lymph node removal, was just so scared and no matter what people say it’s still so frightening for us. 

Please be assured though that there are so many treatment options now and they are the experts and will tailor it to you. 

Let us know how you get on xxx

Very best of luck with with your results,  my sister was very swollen,  sore and felt hard after her surgery for weeks .

Hi SJM and another good luck for tomorrow. We’ll all be with you in spirit, holding your hand. 
I always have a physical examination when I see the surgeon. My treated breast still feels ‘different’ nearly 7 years later so I think that’s just how it is now! I don’t like being poked and prodded but always feel reassured afterwards. 
Will be thinking of you tomorrow, love and hugs, HFxx

That is so true, no matter what anyone says it’s a job to stay positive all the time!! 
Yes things have changed so much, will just be good to know either way..

I will and Thank you so e xx

Thank you so much!! It’s so reassuring to hear other people’s experiences x

So grateful for your reply!! Thank you it’s good not to feel so lonely and isolated  

I haven’t cried since I was given my diagnosis, it’s almost like I’ve shut down.. xx
