Perhaps we will both get very well deserved holidays, let's keep our fingers crossed!

yes I am pretty sure that the pre cancerous is just what it says, not something to give me an immediate problem, but could do if left. The lump itself was stage 3, it's just this surrounding tissue that hasn't been taken back far enough.  I am just worried really, particularly as the nurse said they  could only do this once and if they couldn't clear it this time they would look for cancer elsewhere.   I just hoped that the really scary stuff was out of the way now and I could grit my teeth and get through whatever further treatment they decided.

just having a wobble today Kim, be better tomorrow

Best wishes and enjoy the rest of the weekend xx

sending you a big hug xxx

Sue, sorry your getting side effects with the Rads. ive been told to stock up on E45 for and after radiotherapy. My friends and family are exactly the same and seem to think that now ive had a lumpectomy all is good and i should be back to normal and i must stay positive at all times!!! If only they knew what a mamouth task that is. On the whole I am pretty good at being positive but there is always a seed of doubt.I usualy cheer myself up with a glass of Prosecco but cant seem to stomach even the smallest amount of alcohol!!!

Just got up to see the sunrise, never done it before in midsummers day, but hey, no time like the present! Met husband 35 years ago today, so,today is a bit special to us.

Sorry about the effects of your treatment Sue, and the worry you are no doubt going through with your lump.  Let no one ever say this is an easy journey! The day to day worry about yourself and every twinge is difficult to push out of your mind.  Hope you are feeling less sore soon Sue, is there any creams that will soothe?

thank you both for your kind words and support, bless you!

hugs xx

Hi Kim,

Sorry, hope I didn't scare you re the radiotherapy. I think because I had both sides done at the same time, I got double the effects. There are quite a few on here who have "sailed through" their treatment with very little discomfort and I hope you are one of them. I am using Diprobase (rather than E45) and also 100% Organic Aloe Vera.

Like you, I usually enjoy the odd glass (or two) of bubbles, but cannot face it at the moment. I am drinking a lot of Lucozade instead but it is not quite the same thing is it?! Take care Sue xx

Hi Margaret, have a great day today with your lovely hubby.....   Sue x

I had a lumpectomy on 1st May then had to have another one 27th May for the same reason.  The 2nd op was far less scary than the 1st, I was even comforting another lady while we were waiting.  The results have come back clear and I'm starting chemo 23rd July - the hospital have delayed it by a week so that I can have my holiday. I'm sure you will be fine the 2nd time.  I've even gone back to work part time until the chemo starts so that I can be me again. Good luck

Thanks for that Tracey, it is good to know that it is not that unusual! I was concerned as I've not heard of anyone going through it again so soon and typically the mind works overtime and the old panic sets in.  I do feel more settled about it now.

Glad to hear you are doing well and are fitting in your holiday before your chemo starts, it really gives you something positive to look forward to, doesn't it?  

Very best wishes, and thanks again xx

Yes my mind went into overdrive when I was told I needed another op.  I'm just focusing on the fact that I know when my chemo will be starting and I determined to enjoy my holiday first.

Make sure you keep us updated when you have your next op xx
