Thought I was recovering brilliantly after right breast mascetomy last Tuesday.. Doing my exercises regularly eating and 3 weeks since last cigarette.had follow up appmnt today and was told that it has spread to lymph node and I will know next Friday what next...more surgery.maybe chemo. Radiotherapy....I was devasted as I could see light at ed of the tunnel...howdo we keep positive when this thing keeps hitting back ?! My 91 (92 in a week) old mother cried on the phone when I told her..I can't remember when I have last seen/heard her cry.
