Hello im Maryoma.

Rececent mastectomy for tnbc stage 2.

Well the inevitable happened. 2023 lumpectomy, thought everything finished. No.... here it came again in exact place as the one b4 in 2023.

So 6 months ago I underwent a dramatic time mastectomy. Not the same recovery as the lumpectomy in 2023. I think maybe just 3 to 4 weeks b4 I was back into my gym and swimming. Oh not this time. 

This has knocked my confidence. I was mostly staying home and taking pain killers and sleeping all the day and night for around the 1st 12 weeks.

6 months post opp I’ve got my confidence back. I have regained strength through healthy eating.

Lifestyle mostly relaxing swimming walking. A bit in local park.

In short, I’m 77yrs old and grabbing life with both hands.

  • Hi Maryoma. Thank you for sharing your story.

    You’ve been through so much, and it’s really encouraging to read that you’ve found your confidence again after such a difficult recovery. It gives hope to those of us who are much earlier in our journey.

    I’m only a few days into my first chemotherapy cycle after my mastectomy, so everything still feels very new and uncertain. Reading that you’re now swimming, walking and enjoying life again reminds me that recovery takes time and that better days really can come.

    Wishing you continued strength, good health, and many more happy days grabbing life with both hands. Thank you for giving the rest of us a little hope today.

  • Hello Wave 

    And good morning 

    Yes there is light at end of the tunnel... My Religion helps me to understand wats happened and still happening daily... but we are flesh n blood not stone so I do feel very lethargic some days.

    Like today I woke late for an appointment instead of my usual former self rushing around . I just filled my cold water Droplet bottle and went bk to bed Sleeping accommodation where I am still now thinking to get up, but only coz im hungry for breakfast... So here goes.
