Hi. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago, I had surgery a few weeks later and it’s the most nervous I’ve ever been, but you’ll be absolutely fine, I was it’s just a long day waiting around xx

Good morning clarebear and glad u have dropped by :-)

ah brill 2 yrs post op. Would love to know how things are going 2 yrs on if u feel like sharing:-

all currently on this thread are indeed post op ( if anyone is reading nd newly diagnosed or waiting for results op etc..you too are welcome to join in ). Wonder [@clairebear]‍ if you have read my 1st post nd not clicked on the tab to toggle you to latest post :-) 

anywhose me dear thanks for posting would love you to join in with the rest of us on this post :-) x

Always a good sign when they let u go home. Just need you to start feeling a bit more yourself. Take it easy and enjoy the sun if u can :-) sending hugs ️ X

I told them they could put two on and no more, even that was under duress. 

Oh I thought u were just steri striped external...as long as no infections nd healing then all good :-)

eee back t work... well done you. Take it easy nd tell them if too much:-) 

you are doing so well .. go u x

Bad:- oh no one of the lil ones got D&V bless. Been doing the rounds at school for a couple of wks. Done well to get this far before getting. Bsitting while mum goes t pharmacy for advice. Will stay till other one is picked up from nursery. Hope I dont get :-0 x

Steri strips and dissolvable stitches. Still a bit rough found edges, touch wood no infection. Doctor said healing well and they would dissolve when they ready! 

Having risk assessment done at work as I do a lot of heavy lifting but been told I will have to stand back and let others do it! Which will be hard as use to just doing it! I work in a supermarket as Fresh food manager! X 

Good luck Cornish x 

Yes better at home. At least I slept. Just couldn’t get comfy in hospital, in bed, chair or standing. Arthritis well and truly kicked in.  But staff were fantastic and gynae being part of private ward they were not busy and had time to care not just give out meds and do obs. Just sad I was too uncomfortable to appreciate it.

Feel absolutely whacked today, worse than after the actual op. Lol

Thanks everyone for messages, they are much appreciated.

Ah same as me stitches wise :-) can’t remember did u have nodes taken.. Think a little easier if u didn’t... that’s where mine still seemed to pull -where I stretch up or carry things like heavy shopping bags.

sounds like they r really looking after u...they are good people :-) x

I was suprised I had 5..I did say others I’d spoken with had less why did I need more. They said it varied because it was dependant on the area to b radiated for how many they put on. 

Mind u I’d lay odds on me nd thee had same area done. I prob needed to object to the number they gave me... way before now lol x

I was  lucky no nodes taken out just two lumps and margins! Second lump was behind first lump so had to go in deeper (ouch) but then gave me another week off work so 3 weeks instead of 2 then 3 weeks light duties. Think I will be ok at work they have been very supportive since the day I told them. The worry will be once soreness goes and I see something needs doing and I will think I can do that when really I shouldn’t be! Being still a little sore reminds me not to do things x
