Lumpectomy

Hi everyone. Just want to say hello and to introduce myself. I was diagnosed with breast cancer about a month ago and am having surgery on Friday to remove the lump and some lymph nodes for testing. Not looking forward to it so looking forward some moral support!

  • Hi Bridgetbambi

    Sorry to hear about your upcoming surgery on Friday but wish you luck and a speedy recovery, I had a lumpectomy and lymph node testing aswell as conserving surgery on non cancerous breast September 2022 and It all went well.

    My advice would be trust your team who are looking after you and give yourself time to heal, I felt fine the day after and tried to do some light cleaning as had a burst of energy and boy did I regret it, I am sure your emotions are all over the place and if not now will be after your surgery again give yourself time to heal physically and emotionally and know that you are not alone as there are so many of us who understand what you are going through and we are always hear to have a chat.

    All the best for Friday and let us know how you are when you feel up to it sending lots of love and positive vibes. Xxx ️

  • Hi Granny50

    Bless you too sending you luck and positive vibes aswell, I was stage 1 grade 2 and was diagnosed sortly after celebrating my 40th which really came as a shock i healed well after my surgery but just remember to give yourself time to heal and don't over do it.

    Wishing you all the best and please keep in touch if you need a chat. Xxx
