Hi Jackie. Sorry to see you have to go through another operation. I haven't had my operation yet mine is on the 28th, but can understand how you feel. That is what worries me most, the need to have second operation if the margins are not clear.

Unfortunately we don't have much choice if we want to beat this cancer.

I hope all goes well and am sure there is someone on here has been through it to and can give you better information. Sending hugs and good luck xx

Jackie 

sorry to hear this 

I had breast cancer july 22 had lunpectomy and sentil node in July then 2 weeks later had full node clearance removing 30 nodes is this the operation you are having ?

love Lara ? 

Hi Pauline

Thank you for your response. I suppose I always knew the second operation could be on the cards but really thought "it wouldn't happen to me". Just hoping this next one goes OK and I can get on with the radiotherapy and my life. I have to also say that I do feel lucky without the mammogram call up process I'm over 50 this would probably of never been found so early.

Wishing you all the best for your operation. Big hugs back. Xx

Hi Lara

Thanks for your post. I had just the lumectomy. So second operation is to go through original wound to take a further slither of tissue 

How are you doing now?

Love Jackie x

Hi Hun yes my was found on routine mammogram. Although I'm in my 60's so had hoped to get through life without this.  Hope all goes well for you. X

Me too wishing you all the best with your operation we can do this xx

I see for clear margins lots have this here it's a nightmare but best get it clear and gone for good lovely I didn't have that I had the dreaded additional 30 nodes taken in second op it knocked me back but I done it with a smile and thought best then than going back in few years 

good luck lovely big hugs Lara ️

Thanks Lara feeling much more positive today like you say they have to be sure they have it all. Big hugs back my lovely x

Hi Jackie

Thats the least stupid thing I've ever heard! Sounds like someone pushed into having to recalibrate your response to a dramatically changing situation, and thats okay and will probably take more than just a few days to recalibrate.

I'm in a slightly different place as am still presurgery, but have had to recalibrate my thinking several times in this process already.

Your positivity will come back,  (time for some big picture thinking).  Focus on the end result, getting back to full health.  You've done this bit before, and you can do it again. You're going through a process and the end result is your perfect health, you've got some twists and turns to go through to get there, this is just an  twist in the process.  Fingers crossed for not too many more twists for you, but am sure you will be fine in the end, I'm sending you some powerful positive vibes as yours have deserted you for a few days. You've got this girl!

Thanks Manda you words and positive vibes I really appreciate. I am feeling more positive today because there is only one way forward and its the one that's going to get me back to my old healthy self. I couldn't have put it better with the twists and turns and you are so right.

Wishing you the very best with your operation and results thereafter.

Thanks again and I have absolutely got this xx
