Waiting..guess cos it's summer.

Today's 3rd August. Confirmation that I need mastectomy and armpit clearance 28 July after all the tests done. Good news that it's not spread anywhere else. 

Next appt 8th Sept to then set op.date. I'm raring to go. Trying to remain positive. Worried that it will have spread or lump in armpit enlarged by 8 Sept.  That means may not have op for another 4 weeks. Or it could be sooner.

Anyway playing the waiting game! I decided not to got for breast reduction..just the mastectomy then wear a prosthetic. Just want the cancer out. Guess I have to be patient. Am 65 but don't feel it!

  • Hello Renate, glad to hear you have positivie head on. I had the same last July ,but I had bilateral mastectomies and.a few weeks later the lymphclearance on my left .Felt good throughout , hardly any discomfort. Had Chemo til March ,which was also pretty good ,no side effects ,just a bit of tiredness and fuzzy head for 3 days . I waited a few weeks in between biopsies but consultant assured me it was save to wait . Have been discharged a few months ago and decided to have reconstruction soon . Stay positive , I am sure all be fine . I am nearly 62 and feel great  .Good luck xx
