Hi Dottie, thank you for asking about me.  The day of the lumpectomy is here and I am just waiting for the off! Veering between optimism and terror I am afraid, but really I just want it over and done with and to be home again tomorrow.  Like you, I have good days and some awful ones but I guess that is the norm on this journey.......

hope you are doing well if you have started your chemo? Will catch up when I am home and up to it again, but in the meantime very best wishes to you and hugs xxx

Hi there, all the very best for today, lots of hugs  Sue xx

Hi, Dottie, was wondering if you have any dates for treatment yet.  I hope you are coping, it's a rotten disease isn't it , but we have to fight.  Thinking of you. x

Hi Pauline, how are you? I have my op on the 16th June still unsure of what's to come after that but 2nurses have said radiotherapy and chemo is the norm now. Just want it over with now 

hope your keeping well xx

Hi, Dottie, I'm having good and bad days, both physically and mentally!  I have recently been on a Macmillan Hope course. There were 5 girls who had breast cancer and had all had chemo and radiotherapy.  I have no idea if this was normal, but just to say they had all finished their treatment and were doing well.

I will be thinking of you on Tuesday week.  Best wishes, Dottie. x

Hi, Purplelily, hope you are feeling okay after your lumpectomy.  Have you had any results yet.? x

Hi Pauline, thanks for asking. No, no results yet - going back on the 19th and will then presumably be told what the next step is.   I am doing ok, getting less sore but still quite bruised and swollen. Luckily I have only got one incision instead of the promised two, so that's halved the pain lol!  Have been out and about a bit, just strolling with dog and today have a friend visiting who I hope will take me out for a coffee cos I could do with a change of scenery.  Husband has to go into town as he broke his false teeth yesterday, much to my amusement! He isn't too happy as I am not confident to drive yet, the seatbelt even with a cushion is too tight. Anyway that leaves a girly hour or so with my friend to look forward to.

hope very one had a good weekend, long may this nice weather last.  Best wishes and hugs xx
