I can imagine how uncomfortable that will be and not being able to enjoy your food  Hoping that it heals quickly for you.

We are lucky to have a good support system around us, it makes the journey easier. 

Thanks for your reply and all the best in your recovery and results. Chin up just a wee bit!! 

Hi Anma,

Welcome to our forum,

I am sorry to hear that you are still feeling a little fragile after your lumpectomy. You sound quite positive despite the discomfort and, I hope that the news is good on Friday. Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi Alpha,

It is still early days and, the eating will get easier. I'm glad to hear that you've got a good support network at home. This makes all the difference.

Keep on laughing. It's the best medicine there is!

Will be thinking of you on 24th and hope that it all goes well.

Kind regards,

Jolamine 

Hi all!

Received my results today and all are very positive. My lymph nodes are clear, my margins were clear so no chemo and no more surgery needed. Grade 1, low risk breast cancer and low risk returning. 

I will have 3/4 weeks radiotherapy followed by hormone blockers for 5/10 years, still to find out what ones. 

Even my wounds are better feeling as the breast nurse cut the ends of the stitches... wow relief!!

Again I am truly grateful for that mammogram and urge everyone to make sure they go for theirs. 

Onwards and upwards and stay positive everyone! 

Happy Friday

Hi Anma,

Many thanks for your update. I am glad to hear that your results are so positive. I'm sure that you are relieved not to need any more surgery or chemo. It is good to hear that you've got some relief since the nurse cut the ends of your stitches.

Sadly, the number of women going for their routine mammograms has fallen. It's such a pity, when a simple mammogram can detect early cancers, before people are aware of anything untoward. None of us want a cancer diagnosis, but I am so glad that you have caught it early and, that it is eminently treatable.

I hope that you get on well with your radiotherapy and hormone therapy. Keep in touch.

Kind regards,

Absolutely chuffed to bits for you and your family. Great news. 

All the best for the future.  Col.

Got the all clear on Friday,  no further treatment required.  Huge relief, and many people to thank .

Cheers and good luck to everyone.   Col. 

Hi Alpha,

Hi Anma,

I had my lumpectomy on the 16th January and am now waiting for my post op appointment on the 7th February.  It's great news that you have no further surgery and are now just waiting for your radiotherapy.  I was told if my results are clear then I will just need radiotherapy and hormone blockers, also for 5/10 years - fingers crossed.

Hope you are feeling ok and not too worn out...I'm suffering from fatigue at the moment and weird sensations under and down the top half of my arm.
