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

So good to hear you are feeling better today . You both are so strong !

I hope you have  restful evening both.

Sending lots of hugs and love to both of you xxx

Been thinking of you Elvira how are you coping with Chemo hun xxxxx

Good morning lovely ladies

I'm good  hun had a rough first week after chemo but it does pass and now I'm so much better. How are you hun I know you will be anxious but try to think positive such good news it's just surgery and no chemo you will make a really good recovery and put this behind you very soon.  Hope yr prepping early for Santa' then it's put yr feet up and this Christmas  is all about you

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 doing ladies?  Hope your picking up Elvira and having a few better days.  How are you V1234 hope you have a lovely weekend and your not to anxious, try enjoy the next few days. Lots of love to you both xxxxx

Hi Madgee - I've been doing ok actually! Started to feel a lot better on the weekend, headache was finally completely gone and was able to go out for lots of walks with the dog :)

I have been having issues with my port arm. It's sensitive and difficult to stretch etc. But I had an ultrasound today and everything looked fine so they said just to keep an eye on it. I have my next appointment with the oncologist on Tuesday so hoping we're all still on track so far.

How have you ladies been doing?? Madgee is your next session on Monday? Assuming you will have blood test soon, and you feeling ok?

sending love! Xxx

Hi Madgee ,

So good to hear from you.  I hope you are well and I hope you both are  feeling stronger! 

I am OK,  I had  a few blood tests this week and started some iron tablets because my haemoglobin was a bit low. 

Next Thursday is my operation but I am having g every day next week an appointment so I am hoping it will be a quick week so I won't think about my operation!!

We have put our Christmas tree up yesterday and trying to keep things normal for my little girl..but it can be difficult sometimes.

I hope you are both having a good night and have a lovely, relaxing and cosy weekend. 

Sending all my love to you both. Xxxx

So glad you have turned a corner Hun.  It is brutal and I think what makes the first one worse is you feel like your not going to turn that corner when your poorly andbits all do unknown.  I'm hoping that now I've experienced the pattern when I'm really poorly I can tick the days off and no there are some really good days to follow. I'm not going till Thursday as they have bundled all my appointments together.  I've got bloods at 9, oncology review st 10 and Chemo st 11.  So 3 days out but all in one go.  Making the most of feeling really good and managed to get my covid booster in today.  I got in the garden, have had walks and just enjoyed feeling well.  Enjoy the rest before next treatment lovely we can do this, one down ! Lots of love stay positive xxxx

Great to hear from you V1234, sounds like a very busy week which will pass.  I will be thinking of you on the 9th as that's my next Chemo but you will be okay and are in the best of hands.  So pleased the tree is up and bet your little girl is super excited. I did think of you as saw a heart shaped pillow which apparently is very comfortable to aid sleep following surgery and also compresses can be soothing, have a google or follow Mary Huckle and Julia Bradbury on Instagram if you have it.  Might be worth ordering one.  Take care and remember the journey isn't forever and you can do this.  Lots of love xxxx

Hi Madgee and Elvira114, 

So glad you are doing well bot of you . 

Elvira114 I am glad your dcan was clear and you next appointment ison Tuesday.  It is great when things are happening quicker !!

Thanks Madgee, I did see the pillows when I was reading about   Julia Bradbury so  I have ordered one yesterday from amazon . It should be here on Saturday. 

I hope  you both have a lovely weekend. Sending hugs to both of you . Xxxxx
