Surgery for breast surgery

Ok, scared now. I have breast cancer. Surgery booked for Mondy (28th). Radiotherapy and menopause inducing drugs to come. Anyone been in the same situation got any advice? Please!

 

Update - now waiting for surgery number 3! They found more cancer (15mm grade 2) and an affected lymph node (now 2 out of 7) during surgery 2. My treatment plan after surgery (if successful) has yet to be discussed. If surgery 3 doesn't come back clear, a mastectomy may be the only option. Had enough of this now. The waiting is getting me down. The not knowing whether chemo is needed or not is taking over my head. Struggling to get motivated.

Surgeon and cancer nurse have mentioned the optima trial - just adding to my things to think about. Anyone have any thoughts?

  • HI. Feeling very anxious like you. I was diagnosed 4 weeks ago- lumpectomy this Wednesday 23rd,  radiothearapy and hormones to follow. It was all a complete shock- just a regular mamogram. I cannot praise enough for the care and reassurance I have received so far from health professionals. They will get me through this operation which is terrifing me at the moment. 

    2 ladies at work in the same position a few years ago are fine, healhy and out the other side. They are well and living life to the full again! I'm holding onto that to get though the surgery and move on! 

    Be strong, keep talking and be kind to yourself! xxx
