Hi Rooftile.

Im 49f recently diagnosed on Dec 21. My husband was in the hospital at the same time, he was in critical care the week before so was having a nightmare week.

I never had a lump as such, I just had a achy boob, they said my cancer was a accidental find from my gp sending me for a mammogram for the sore boob. I have my op in 2 days x 

Sorry to hear about your child too x 

Life can be so cruel, all that in one week! so unfair. How is your husband doing? 

please met me know how you get on, hope all goes well. All very quick for you. So glad you got sent for the mammogram! 

my boy is doing good. It’s just a lot of plates to spin, if you get me  :) 

He is out of hospital, I think they started treating him for potential sepsis thats why he ended up in critical care, but hes just waiting now for a follow up procedure, which is also something for me to worry about.

Yes its so very quick, I have all these questions to ask as well as running our own business and planning a joint 50th in March lol. Just informed my friends that if im having radiotherapy at the time of the party it will be a pyjama party.

So many plates you are spinning xx 

Have you got any dates for a op yet and what treatments you may be looking at x 

I think a lot of plates being spun between us. ️ all very hard. 

Also running your own business must be difficult especially in terms of stability in situations like this. I hope you have good help. 

I have an appointment 11th of this month to make a plan. I am hopefully having lumpectomy and radiotherapy. Not sure how much, that’s as long as nothing new comes from the MRI. Once this is done I am going to try and do an overhaul of my lifestyle. I need to be around for my boy. Mainly need to eat better and exercise more. 

how are things with you? 

Feeling a bit apprehensive, had worked myself up into thinking radiotherapy will be straight after op, but now it seems I need to heal first before that starts.

I have my op tomorrow, I have to go to two hospitals, one to have a marker wire fitted then straight to the other to have the op. So will be a long day tomorrow.

Just been to get me some non wire comfy bras they suggested for recovery x

That’s what I was thinking to be honest. So it’s heal up then radiotherapy. 
it’s hard not to work ourselves up about things. 
Good luck for tomorrow and when you feel able please update. Sounds like a difficult day going between different hospitals. I have a family friend had her op a few weeks ago. She had gotten some sports bras with a zip on the front. 

Hope all goes well tomorrow. 

Thankyou. 

I shall keep in touch. They have some super soft bras in asda with no underwire  its a pain anytime finding Gcup bras lol

Xx 

Good luck. ️ ️

I hope you are o.k Shanie 

Roof tie and Shamie 

good luck both I had breast cancer june 22 hete to chat or help anytime sending you both a warm hug xx 

Hey  Wanted to check in with you.

Surgery went well. The wire and dye pre op was relatively painless.

Felt like a long day over all. 

I struggled with the anesthetic afterwards with sickness, but that has happened before with previous surgeries of a overwelming feeling of motion sickness, so I tried to sleep it off. 

I was discharged the same evening I just wanted to come home and get in my own bed, had a bit of sickness but felt better after I had ate.

I have two dressings and a super blue nipple from the nuclear dye injection, also have bright blue urine, which they said would happen. 

The pain, at this time seems very manageable, im just using paracetemol today, but just feels slightly heavy on my breast, if that makes sense. But writing this less than 24 hours later I feel ok. I have hubby looking after me ( getting my mum to make sure someone is also looking after hubby too) 

Im going to message my breast nurse today, they did say they would reach out. 

They told me to expect a appointment in about 3/4 weeksn to check about next steps. 

Hope youre doing ok too

Hi Shanie,

I'm glad to hear that all went well for you. 

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi, I just noticed your message, thank you. :)

Hi, sorry for delay in replying, had a long hospital day with my son yesterday, we are up with the larks and don’t get home till 6/7pm and feel exhausted.

so everything went well with you, that’s great, :) 

so do they put the dye in to check the tumour margins? Glad it wasn’t too bad. 
Not nice being poorly with sickness post surgery though.  Glad you feel better now. Wow a blue nipple! I am sure my hubby and I will make some jokes about that if I have the same. We use humour to get through things. 

how’s the pain now? How’s hubby? It’s all such a juggling act isn’t it.  

hope you get your appointment soon. I am wanting it to be the 11th as that when I find out a more concrete plan,

Hey Gemma,  

Not feeling too bad at the minute, kinda in and out of bed having a rest.

So as far as I can remember the blue dye was to check lymph nodes ( things happened that fast with me that honeslty I cant remember half the things they told me what would happen) 

I have a check up on Monday at Breast unit so will ask more questions. 

I hope your son is doing ok x 

It sounds really silly saying but cancer is so inconvenient right now for me, I feel I need to be taking care of my husband more. Hes had a date through for his procedure and hopefully it will be inbetween my recovery and my radiotherapy so I can take care of him too.

My son and his gf have their baby ( our first grandbaby) on Monday so Im kinda feeling annoyed that this has put a dent in that experiance for me. 

Ive decided to get a bluetit tattooed when im better lol Im quite heavily tattooed anyway and I tend to have a new one when anything significent happens and someone suggested that which made me laugh. 

How are you doing? I can imagine you too are overwelmed with everything too at the minute x
