Hi new.to this .  I have surgery next week for breast cancer.  I guess I still syruggle.with that word 

  • Welcome to the forum Caileendeas.

    I just wanted to stop by and wish you good luck for your breast cancer surgery next week.

    Also, if you're able to tell us a bit more about yourself and your diagnosis it will make it easier for other members who have been in the same situation to reply and help you on your way.

    Come back and let us know how your surgery goes Caileendeas. We'll be thinking of you and wishing you all the best.

  • Hi It may seem strange but I cannot even see the lump and have to feel very carefully to find.it. What I did notice was a dip on.my breast which looked.like a thumb print of a mark from.my underwire bra. I was lucky that I found it early as with my family history cancer of.one type.or another exists a lot. Tomorrow I have the wire fitted and get the dye.in.my arm and then on Friday I have the lump and some.of my nodes removed. Most.of the time I am very pragmatic about it but sometimes emotions seem to win.out over logic. I intend.to beat this as I have no.intention of have Cancer win. When my number is up.it will be because I am.doing.something unusual like wrestling a tiger or catching a.marlon.or swimming with sharks. I do find.it hard to use the correct word and.have referred to it as titty spot, black spot and a circular hand.mivemebt around my boob. That is just because.of the emotions that word raises in me due to so many member of.my family having this disease. However I managed to use the work.today. I will beat this as I have won.ever other battle.worth fighting so far.in.my life . For.once I am glad I am.such an observant and noisy pain.in the butt. Wish me luck.over next two day
