Op Day 4th March 2026 - Lumpectomy for 2 different cancers + full axillary clearance!

Hugs to you and wishing you the best.  Take it easy and let yourself recover.  
I only get to say this once a year but March 4th is the only day of the year that gives a command.  Just wanted to send you a smile.  
Back in September 2021 got diagnosed with DCIS right breast and ER and PR Positive  invasive ductal cancer left breast stage 2 ( 3mm cancer and 6mm DCIS).  Had 2 lumpectomies and then radiation to both breasts and now on aromatase inhibitors for 5 years.  
I am in Florida and about 10:30 pm here so late for you.  

I hope everything goes smoothly for you today. You will be well looked after. x 

Hope all goes well for you today. Its always such an early start isnt it?  I had my second bout of bc last year on the recovery trail now. Xx

Hello. 
I hope that your operation went well. Get plenty rest, and take it easy. 
Sending hugs and best wishes. xx

Hi, I hope you op went well. I had a mastectomy with drains but they didn’t need changing often and the nurses did that- so hopefully you won’t have that to worry about. Morphine was prescribed and I found that really good for the first week and then I didn’t need it so much - you have so much to deal with and sound so brave - be extra kind to yourself right now xxx mine had spread to lymph nodes and I had chemo and am now half way through radiation treatment which seems fine so far. I had a McMillan mentor that I spoke to once a week and found that so helpful- a safe space and person that I could share all my thoughts with- would highly recommend. I hope you are doing well and continue to feel better over the coming days . Sending lots of positive vibes to you Xx

Hi, I just want to say thank you so much for your messages and encouragement.  I was discharged home after a couple of days and my daughter is in charge of my drain.  It is so hard sitting doing not a lot because I am usually an active "on the go" all the time person.  My arm keeps tingling after my axillary nodes excision (I know some nodes are malignant) but I keep doing very gentle exercises to keep it moving.  I have dressings clinic on Thursday 12th March then see my lovely Consultant Surgeon for review on 27th March when I will receive the full results and proposed future treatment plan before I see my Oncologist.  It is all a bit daunting but I have survived so far - hopefully I can deal with whatever else the breast cancer team caring for me throw at me.  Gentle hugs everybody and thank you again cc
