Hi lou lou,

I presume that's when you fine out when your op is?

My breast cancer care nurse has told me that although they will push me to get back to normal I do need to be careful with that arm for life.

Not that you can't do it,good on you if you have something to focus on and aim towards.I happen to think that will be of a great benefit to you.I think what they mean is we must be aware of over doing it,and lifting weight bearing on that side.She did say that overdoing it can cause fluid build up and swelling that side.

Your team will advise you better though hon.Because I'm not sure myself with timescale and other treatments after the op.

I hope you get the answers you want.Write all your questions down its so easy to go blank 

Take care Ness x 

Thanks Max and Ness I will ask my consultant when I meet with her. I think excercising will keep me sane throughout this. 

Ness, yes I think they will be telling me when my op is when I meet with the consultant. Ekkk!  

Xx

Hi lou lou,

Sane is a good thing! It should be too long to wait for your op mine was 2 weeks after diagnosis.The hospital called me with appointments before I even knew what op id be having.

I hope your doing well.Keep me posted Ness xxx

 Yes 2 weeks! I'm having my op tomorrow and I'm bricking it!! Sorry if I shocked you xx
