Hi! I’m 8 weeks post surgery. I know how scary it is.

im not gonna lie … I had the “sod it attitude” if I fancied eating it, then I ate it….. I’d got cancer… sod it!!!

im now reining it in and being sensible….

i had both stage 1 & 2 plus some pesky bits removed in between the 2 larger areas…

all I’m going to say is that our mantra was, “we have a plan, we stick to the plan”

your surgeon will tell you what they think the best course of action is…. This is their bread and butter… no one can look after you better than they can.

write a list of questions and don’t be afraid to ask them.

i literally highlighted everything in the pamphlets that I didn’t understand…  knowledge is power.

if you are googling, stick to the nhs info or cancer research…..  I also looked at YouTube videos about radio therapy at my hospital as I knew that information would be most accurate.

macmillan are brilliant… the lady at the information desk at my hospital was superb.

I have JUST joined this forum. But happy to be here if you need anything. 

also, you can get free prescriptions when you have a cancer diagnosis, this information isn’t always freely given…. But your nurse or GP can give you the form to fill in.
