Breast Cancer, just had second lumpectomy. Feeling very low

Good morning, I'm 58 and have recently undergone a 2nd lumpectomy with the removal of glands/lymph nodes. This was completely unexpected insofar as I did not take onboard that the first operation might not be sufficient. Safe to say, mentally, I'm not in a great place waiting on the next pathology results in a week (hopefully) to decide next stage treatment. Advanced apologies for this selfish splurge. Just feeling very low.

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,
Jolamine xx

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
