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  :) 

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. ️ ️

Hi Shanie,

So sorry to hear that both you and your hubby are going through the mill at present. You will find that it is a good idea to write down any questions you have in advance of any appointment. This ensures that you don't forget anything important, while you're there.

I shall be thinking of you tomorrow and hope that all goes well.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

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
