Hi just had another op on my breast today to try to get a clearer margin. Last op was 23rd December so only 3 weeks in between. Must say this time around it was better and again thanks to our wonderful NHS . Finding out results and next steps 28th January. 

  • I’m in the same situation… first op 23/12 and next op booked 27/1 to get a clearer margin. I hope you have a speedy recovery. 
    may I ask why you thought it was better this time around? Was it because you knew what to expect do you think? 

  • In a way yes but not as invasive this time around so was in theatre less then an hour. Went in 7.15am,down to surgery @ 11, woke up @ 11.40, left 1.30 pm. Hope you have the same experience! 

  • Ah that sounds really positive! Did you have lymph nodes taken this time? 
    I hope so! My surgeon only had me last time so I went down before 8am. Nice not having to hang around before hand. 

  • Yes my lymph tested positive so got sent off for oncha test to America. Wow you were lucky last time I had to wait 7 hours before going to surgery Weary then problems with my preveena dressing flashing orange and trying to get help over the Xmas holiday. But never mind I’m still here. Can I ask why such a big gap between surgeries? X
