Hi Lara doing much better now. Pulled my socks up and marching onwards. Hopefully not to much longer for results. BCN thought 4 weeks from surgery. So another 2 weeks to go. Xx

Thanks sweetie will do. Xx

Hi Pauline,

You've been so positive so far that you were bound to have a wobble - we all do from time to time. Don't worry about crying, you'll find that this is a great stress release valve. I expect that you've now gathered that you cannot expect your recently operated on breast tissue to fee anything like normal yet. I have had both a lumpectomy and a double mastectomy. Unfortunately, I couldn't have reconstruction, due to other, non-cancer related surgeries. 

After my lumpectomy, my tissue was gradually beginning to feel more normal, when I discovered another lump in the same breast and had to have the mastectomies. You may always be aware of a thickening of scar tissue where your tissue has healed and it is easy to mistake this for another lump. I am 13 years down the line now, but my breast tissue is just as soft as it used to be - the only trouble is that I have to rely on an assortment of prostheses to see me through various activities.

I now look on what I'm left with as my battle scars. Irrespective of how I look, I am still the same person inside and I am proud to say that I have been through surgery and treatment and that I have been fortunate enough to have come through the other side. I am sure that you will soon have your positive pants on again too!

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thanks jolamine. Yes I've pulled my socks up after my wobble. Glad to here the the hard edges will eventually soften. Thanks for that. The scars aren't bad at all just the tissue inside. No the dreaded wait for results before the next move. I'm proud to be with the rest of our worriors that have survived this horrible desease. Love and praise to all here xxx

Hi Pauline,

I'm glad to hear that you are back on track with this. The tissue will probably never be totally the same as it was before, but it will become better than it is at present. We all gain additional strengths when we face a cancer diagnosis. You are gettng closer to your results and it will release a lot of your pressure, when you get them.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
