have my chat with the surgical team wednesday

I have just gone through the same I'm tripple negative had my lumcecompy on Wednesday now waiting also goodnluck xx

Give yourself a break. There’s nothing stupid about crying. They have meetings to decide what to do with everyone.

Wait and see what’s happening. And talk to your husband- he needs your honesty. He might need to talk too.
Mine was fantastic- I kept him informed at all times. 

Hiw1cky  so sorry you're in this most difficult time between tests and results and the waiting is so tough. It’s really normal to be upset, so please be kind to yourself. I know most people feel better once they have a plan, it certainly was that way for me, so I hope you get some answers on Wednesday and some clarity about the next steps.   Best wishes

thank you all, still in shock from yesterdays appointment, so glad i did the routine mammogram as i woudnt have been able to find what is going on.  mastectomy booked for 12th october, cant believe it, but it just wont sink in, not enough of me to re construct from my belly, trying not to overload on too much information, just trying to let it sink in,  but havent gone into  work today.  just trying to think of normal things to do before the op.

thank you for your kind replies

Hi w1cky , sorry you’ve had to join the club, but hopefully you’ll find lots of support and shared experiences here. Glad you know now what’s happening next, and have a date for your op. Good idea to think of normal things to do, I tried to get stuff done that I might find difficult straight after eg got in lots of shopping, kept washing up to date, boring everyday things but good to keep occupied. I carried on working but that’s an individual choice, plenty people here went off sick from diagnosis as work was too much on top of the stress of being told they had cancer. As with so much to do with a cancer diagnosis, we’re all different in terms of what’s ‘right’. 
Keep posting and ask any questions, there will always be someone here who’s gone through something similar. Love and hugs, HFxx 

thank you guys, good idea ref jobs to be done before not beeing able to do much, still not sure ref straight away replacing the breast and how or what my options will be, will call the lovely nurses for some help tomorrow. xx

Now you have a plan you can get organised. Fill the freezer - it really helps. Doesn’t have to be rubbish food, lots of options from batch cooking to quality easy meals. 

Best to have button fastening tops for a while, you might not be able to reach overhead for a day or two! But you’ll be fine, you are out of the hospital so soon after the op. x

thank you, weekend was a bit of a struggle, genuinely not sinking in, unlike my husband, who is struggling so trying to be positive and thanks for heads up ref overhead tops, thats next thing on shopping list xx
