Hi Lara,

That's so lovely to hear.  Confess it's a much scary journey than can ever be imagined!!  Will remain in touch with this lovely forum.  Thanks again.

at the time I was scared but as weeks go by it gets less less less and before you no it it was like a bad dream I feel it was my past life it's not welcome in my future the only thing now is to take the daily tablet and annual mammograms I can manage that , you will soon be feeling back to yourself x 

did you have full auxiliary node clearance ? 

Okay so just navigating the really scared period at the moment.  Don't have my results yet.  Have to wait another week at least.  Will chase up for date tomorrow as am having the current dressings removed.  My anxiety is also exacerbated by the pretty serious suggestion that I may need chemo as well as radiology.  Any advice here? xx

i bought every wig in creation had brows micro bladed hats tan for chemo patients X every lash in creation as I was told like you maybe chemo but I insisted on Oncotype DX and it not only saved me having chemo which would have not benefited me one bit I was her2 -

HI Pebbles.

Try to deal with one day at a time. The whole, as yet unknown picture, is too much to deal with all at once. Try to remind yourself that no amount of worry will change the outcome. There are different types of chemo and they cause different side-effects, so you'll get more advice once you know what you're going for.

I hope that all goes well for you tomorow.

Kind regards,

Hi Lara,

I'm HER2 as well.  Will ask about Oncotype DX.  Thank you.

Hi Jolamine,

Sound advice I know but so hard when it's so cold and miserable outside!!  Thanks for well wishes for today.  Can't wait to have a bath!!

Best wishes,

Hi Nikki,

It's a fantastic feeling when the dressiings come off - I hope that you really enjoy your bath. Did you manage to get a date for your results when you were at the hospital?

I agree that no amount of advice helps us to be rational at this stage, but do your best.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
