Hi I’ve been encouraged by my Aunty to take a a look and connect. So thought I’d say hi.
Im due to have breast surgery tomorrow. Any advice would be appreciated. Wondering how long it will be before I start radiotherapy. Xx

Welcome from another breast lady:-) might want to look at the thread the good and the bad nd have a read... a few breast ladies who have had op a few mths ago nd some just had their ops in last couple of days are chatting:-).
What u will find is most will answer your questions with “my experience was” because everyone’s is a bit different:-)
what isn’t different is how you will b feeling now. We have all been through that.
So... how long for radiotherapy well my experience was ( see what I did there;-) op 21st Sept 17 end of Oct met oncologists nd without checking dates think I was Marked up 29th October starting following wk beginning of November. It is however dependent on a number of things...how well u r healing, post op pathology results, time scales of your hospital u are attending.
Sorry you have joined our club but know this.,,we r here for u, we have your back nd most importantly you can do this.
hugs me dear x
Well there u go... just checked nd op 21st sept met oncologist 19th October 1st RT session 29th Oct ...sorry .. glad I checked:-) x
Thank you I appreciate support, experience and advice.
I’m ready to for surgery as much as you can be I suppose just want to move forward with getting well.
We have a 12 year old son who was obviously heart broke by the news, he has good days however struggles at bedtimes. Hoping after he can see it’s been removed and I start treatment he will settle. He has experienced family members diagnosed with cancers and mostly positive outcomes, so that’s good for him.
Im surprising myself with how strong and focused I’m feeling, not had a cry yet, although I’m sure there may be times I will. Trying to keep my humour with plenty of giggles.
Where are you now in your journey with cancer? Xx
Hi Sunshine. i ‘m a nonth ahead of Sandra123 and returned to work in November albeit on phased return.
