I'm sorry to hear this news 

I too had breast cancer in July 

I hope that you will find help and comfort here in this group we are here for you 

im now back to my normal life back to work finished treatments.

good luck Lara x 

Thank you Lara.

Really pleased that you've finished treatment and are getting back to normal.

Iris 

do you have any idea on surgery will it be a lumpectomy? 

Yes - a wide local excision. They did want to do a mastectomy but because of my heart problems they want to try a WLE first.

Iris 

sorry that you have heart problems bless you .

I had a lumpectomy and sentil node biopsy on July 15 th recovery was quick I was amazed I had no pain and was suprised how little it took of me unfortunately on august 8 th I had to have another operation auxiliary node clearance where they took 26 nodes from my arm this also was very quick recovery I managed to work through both operations obviously from home as I felt more in control . The 2 nd operation was more tricky as I had a drain for 9 days I then had radiotherapy no chemo required thankfully I now take hormone tablets for 5 years which I have started and had minimal side effects I hope the operation goes as well for you I'm sure it will x 

I'm here if you need to chat anytime x 

Keep going Iris - I was diagnosed in October and have 2 shots of chemo, my third is due this Friday. 

I am suffering from horrible anxiety but then I get a glimmer of hope. 

If you want to chat, please message me on the messenger thing. 

Sending you lots of love and best wishes, 

Sue

well done on your chemo hope you are doing well xx

Hi Lara 

I'm not doing too bad apart from the anxiety.  I wonder whether this is normal?

I think the anxiety is normal unfortunately, my friend had 15 rounds of chemo started last March she has had her operation now and is now on chemo again for another 6 months bless her .

I think it could be a good idea to ask your gp for something for the anxiety I had a very very low dose on my diagnosis which helped me so much , I also had the tablets to hand to take before appointments that's where I struggled with most . 
when is your surgery planned for ? I think it's just shock aswell x 

I'm already on anxiety meds!  I can usually manage to rise above the anxiety but not this time. 

My chemo is due to last until mid-June, then I will find out what surgery I will need. 

How about you Honey, what's your situation?
