Hiya 

I am new to the forum and I am so worried as well.

I found a lump on my right breast a couple of days ago and i have an appointment with my gp next Thursday...the waiting game is the hardest ...I cannot stop crying and thinking the worst...it is really hard .

I hope you get some great results .

You too it's a worrying  time for sure.  I feel exactly  the same.  My best day this week as so busy at work.  Distraction  seems to be the best thing right now. Hope your results are good too x

Hi Elvira114 & Madgee,

I am pleased that he operation is so close ...hopefully I will be OK for Christmas,at home with my family!

I am having a masectomy and a reconstruction at the same time so I am a bit terrified, even if I have discussed everything with the 2 doctors. 

The fish request is negative, so no chemo at the start but there might be after the operation. 

I am getting my mri next week and then my pre assessment the week after. 

I wish you Elvira114 good luck for Monday my dear

Madgee ,I hope you are feeling OK after ypu first chemo and you have a nice ,relaxing weekend

Have a lovely afternoon.  Be strong ,we will make it, we will beat this horrible disease. 

Sending lots of love to both of you

Sending love to you both today girls.  You will be ok Elvira promise I will be in touch with you both soon.  Don't worry lots of water and rest when you get home. Love to you both xxxxx

Hi v1234,

I'm sorry I've been out the loop.  Had a few sleepy days after Chemo but turning the corner today and picking up. I'm so so glad you have a date for your operation and you can start the new year knowing it's gone and when you fully recover you will be able to enjoy life once more.  Fantastic news no Chemo required also.  I know it's daunting but it's the absolute best outcome under the circumstances.  My friend has had mastectomy and just had a reconstruction of her other breast so that they are matching and she can feel confident in her body once again.  It's all gone very well and she's making a really good recovery.  I think of you both often and am here for you and Elvira anytime.  Chemo is tiring so been off the grid for a few days but you are always in my thoughts.  Love to you ️

Hi Madgee 

So good to hear that you re feeling better and stronger every day!!

Also So reassuring to hear about your friend ,stories like these give me strength and confidence that everything will be absolutely OK!. 

I had my mri scan for the arteries tody ,everything went well apart from they could not find a vein,so they had to try 3 times...a bit bruised but I will survive. 

Elvira114, 

I hope everything went well for you today. I was thinking about you this morning. 

I hope you both have a lovely evening and a good rest.

Thinking of both of you . Lots of love xxxx

Thanks for your messages lovelies!

Everything went fine and smooth at the hospital yesterday, the nurses were amazing and made me feel so at ease. Came home and got a headache and became quite nauseous but after a few hours of sleep feeling a bit better this morning :) meds for the side effects are helping at the moment, so just trying to drink loads and rest! 
 

Hope you're still doing ok Madgee! And V1234 that your MRI went ok!

I'm good  hun had a rough first week after chemo but it does pass and now I'm so much better.

Hi Madgee, 

So good to hear from you . I am so glad this week you feel better and stronger .

Yes I am feeling a bit anxious and scared ,sometimes for me but mostly fro the people around me waiting for my operation to finish ! 

All Christmas presents are bought and all wrapped when my hubby and my little girl are at work and school.  Very early this year ,usually I am not that organised. 

What about you Madgee ,all done ? 

Looking forward to be out from the hospital, hopefully recovered a bit by the 25th !!

How are Elvira114 my dear ? I hope you are feeling OK?

Thinking about you !!

Sending my love and hugs to both of you xxxxx

Fab yr all organized V1234 and No I'm not organized at all lol. My son is 29 so it's not the same as when they are young but I just can't wait to spend day with him.  I'm organized in the food front but that's about it.  I'm absolutely sure that you will be definitely enjoying Christmas Day.  Just listen to your body post op and don't over do it that's the secret. With everything that's been thrown at us I think it's the smallest things that will make this Christmas special, the smells, the tree and for you yr daughters face. I don't care if there's nothing under tree but suspect there will be lol.  Stay positive iand your going to be just fine.  Much love xxxxxx

Hi lovely ladies,

Sorry I haven't responded, I've been doing ok ️ My mum is over for a few days from back home to help out, so have been enjoying the company and taking it easy! 
The first 2 days were tough, I felt relatively ok but I got a pretty bad headache and it kept me bed bound pretty much for 2 days straight. Since yesterday I've started to feel a lot better! I've even managed to put some normal clothes and make up on today (I know it seems silly, but it's the little things that make my day haha). 
 

I still am not back to a 100%, my body is aching but as much as chemo is hard, I now also know I can do this. I've even got myself a wig this morning! 
 

Hope you both are doing ok. Madgee - also one more session of chemo before Christmas?? I hope we can all enjoy the holidays, but at least we know we got this ladies. We're strong!! ️

So pleased to hear from you Elvira.  I also found it very hard but for obv reasons didn't want to worry you or make you anxious.irs brutal  and I too was around 4 days terrible and in bed.  I'm now  2 weeks in and feel so much better have been cleaning eating better and sickness pills have kept the nausea away.  I have never felt so poorly but knowing the worst lasts  for me around 4 days I think will spur me on.  This time next week  you will be so different hun.  Enjoy time with yr Mum and rest and as much water as you can get down you.  My beloved  cup of tea is now referred to as a cup of tin lol.  Sending lots of love x  

How are you Elvira  have you turned  a vorner and feeling well!?  When is yr next chemo? Xxxx
