Hi and I totally understand how you feel.  I had my lumpectomy on 5th August, was scared and apprehensive, but the staff were superb and very reassuring.  I felt so much calmer once the operation was over, felt like something positive had taken place as part of the treatment.  The time between diagnosis and lumpectomy is very tricky, and I was in a dark place for that period, lots of tears but I feel I have turned a corner now the operation is behind me.  Still need confirmation of whether there are clear margins and will find out next week.  I hope you will be in a better place once you have had the .operation and I wish you well.  All the best Sue

Thank you so much for replying Sue.  It is the fear of the unknown and people not in this situation either make light of it to the point of being flippant or come across as doom mungers.  

Great to hear that you can now see the light at the end of the tunnel and I wish you all the best

I’m Taking one step at a time and I know Ill cope with things as they happen with the fab  support I have but it is still scary and I needed to hear from someone in the same position 

take care and all the best - your reply has meant a lot too me
