Bad news following lumpectomies

Oh sorry to hear this.  You must be feeling Worn dish as you psyched yourself up for moving on to next stage of treatment xx

Hello Anabrock

I am so sorry to hear that you have had this bad news. On the positive side, they are wanting to treat you surgically to get rid of the gremlins. There is a recent post from a lady who has just had surgery with local anaesthetic. Sorry I do not recall who it was but it was within the last week or so. She had health issues which made a general anaesthetic a bad idea for her. She was worried beforehand but said that she got on fine. 

I think re the reconstruction, you need to take account of what the surgeons advise you. I hope that you do not have long to wait.

Let us know how things go for you.

Sending you a big hug.

Hi Anabrock. I go for my post surgery results on 19th. It all seems such an emotional rollercoaster. I like to think that when you know what you're dealing with it becomes easier, but actually the emotional toll is so great. It's almost a shame they didn't do a mastectomy for you there and then, though that might not of been possible without speaking to you first.  

I hope that you're finding the different consultants are working together to treat you in an agreed best course of action. Sending you a humongous sized hug. I hope you find this forum helpful.  It makes me feel not so alone as we all walk this unplanned path. XXXXX

hope you have better luck than me.

Hi so sorry to hear that you are having to go through more uncertainty. I went to see the plastic surgeon yesterday and it’s worth having a chat to them as they can make you feel better. If you then decide to wait you have all the options and can make an informed decision. I find things get thrown at you and it can get overwhelming. So all you can do is take it a step at a time. Good look with everything.
