sending everyone healing vibes x

  • Hi, sorry you find yourself here. I too am in the same position as you although I have my surgery this Wednesday. I have had good and bad days, mainly I have managed to put it to the back of my mind. Now I am gradually getting more and more nervous.

    Do you manage to get on with things?

    Did your team give you an approximate date?

    Sending you big hugs x

  • Hey,

    sorry you are here as well Heart

    My operation is booked for the 8th of June.

    I’m having the Calcifications removed and I’m also having my lymph nodes checked. Are they checking your lymph nodes? 
    Most days I manage to get on with things I keep myself busy. I’ve been on a long walk this morning, but yeah, I get where you’re coming from. It does make me feel sick to the stomach.

    i’m wishing you all the luck in the world for Wednesday xxx

    sending you lots of hugs as well. Xx

  • Thank you Relaxed️ 

    Ok so that’s not too long to wait but any waiting seems like years doesn’t it!

    Yes I went on some long walks but then fell down the stairs and broke my toe!! Not much help for my mental health!

    No I don’t think they are at this point. From what I remember they send it off for testing first to see if it’s spread or invasive then decide if they need removing. 
    Thank you so much, I will try and remember to come back on after the Surgery. 

    Lots of love x

  • Can’t believe you broke your toe

    yeah they sent my biopsy off and they said it’s contained in the duct but because it’s high-grade I think they just want to make sure and that way they don’t have to go back in for a second time hopefully Pray 

    yes if you remember Come back after your Surgery.

  • Just a quick question actually did they put a metal clip into your breast?

    ever since I’ve had that put in my whole left side has been hurting like my shoulder my arm etc 

  • Yes it’s a marker for the Surgeon and I haven’t had any effect from it at all. Have you spoken to your breast care nurse? I’m sure they would be of help.

    Stay positive xx

  • Thank you I will x

  • Sending love for tomorrow x

  • Thank you so much, means alot Heart️ very nervous! X

  • I bet, have been thinking of you today x

    I hope you have lots of support xx
