I totally agree. I am also awaiting my 1 year mammogram on my good breast and am dreading it. I have been very positive throughout even though my body has rejected 2 tissue expanders. I have now given up and decided to go flat. I had my last op 2 weeks ago but at the moment I am feeling more emotional than ever. Hopefully it is just the recovery period

Sometimes it help to just decide for yourself what you want to do and take charge. Fingers crossed for both of us

Hi Jayjay71 I had radiotherapy in August and I found the process was fine. It just made me very tired. Through out I always new that the outcome of my actual surgery was not going to be successful but I was glad that they were getting on with my radiotherapy as a prevention.

To be honest I'm a terrible worrier. It's my husband who is the positive person in this house. I am trying my best to follow his lead. Just received letter for oncology appointment on 26th February, really wish it was a bit sooner.

I had 15 days of Radiotherapy and it was not too bad. It was tiring but that was more having to go to the hospital every day. See if you can get a volunteer driver to take you. I also had some radiation burns so if your skin is at all sore tell the nurses you need something right away. I waited until the skin was broken. They gave me cream and dressing which helped a lot

Waiting is hard. I start frantically cleaning and clearing out cupboards

I have been washing curtains and cleaning windows. Just stripped all the beds off too. Keeping busy does stop the mind from wandering!  

Hello Pippin, I just took all the medication I had been given ,steroids and ondansetron for nausea ,I was expecting to feel unwell and off my food ,but didn’t . Some days after chemo I would just t what I fancied ,even if that was a magnum ! I had a bit of brain fog for about 3 days ,I wouldn’t drive then but felt well enough to carry on as normal . Still cooked and baked and saw to my she  too . I drank plenty of water ,I am sure that helped as well .The only thing that really bothered me was Twitchy ,restless legs in day and night . I started taking magnesium supplements for that nd still do and that really helped. I went into it ,telling myself I would be ok xxx

And when you feel tired ,have a nap. Listen to your body xx
