Hi, the same thing happened to me. It’s a really scary time but I had surgery 4 weeks ago to get rid of the cancer and I’m waiting for an appointment to start radiotherapy which will be 12 weeks from surgery.

Hi Jayne,  thank you for replying.

glad you have had your surgery and that’s out of the way x 

Yes, a total shock to us all, but they have said that it is the one of the nicest of ones! So hopefully not too long till I get my treatment plan. 

how are you after your surgery?

Yes that’s what they said to me too, “if you have to get it, you want the this one”. Hopefully they get you in quickly and get you on the road to recovery x It’s amazing how fast they act. Mine was picked up on my very 1st routine mammogram and I had my surgery 5 weeks later. I’m doing ok thank you. I started tamoxifen tablets a couple of weeks ago and the side effects aren’t very nice but hoping that will settle. It sounds like you have exactly what I had. It’s really hard to be positive but try your best xx

I’ve just been diagnosed and saud the same Jayne ‘if you have to gett it…’ They are waiting for results of MRI and if more biopsies are needed before starting treatment because it’s slow growing. MRI on Monday. How are you doing?

Hi, so sorry to hear you’re going through this. It’s hard but try to stay positive. It sounds like they’re being thorough before deciding on treatment for you so that’s good x

I’m not too bad apart from the side effects of the Tamoxifen. I’m gonna give it to the 3 month mark and ask for it in liquid form if the sickness doesn’t go as the radiographer said it’s the coating on the cheaper brands of tablets that can cause it but I had 3 different brands in 1 box so couldn’t possibly track which ones were worse. I start my radiotherapy on Monday and only have to have 5 sessions so all done for Christmas xx

Oh hope you are all good for Christmas!  I have my op on 19th all being well  I tested positive for mrsa due to an outbreak of stress cold sores, so didn’t get my op on 12th.  So onwards and upwards aye x sending best wishes x

What a nightmare for you. I get cold sores too but luckily got one after my op. I didn’t even think about mrsa X Good luck for your op xx

Hi Jayne,

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the Tamoxifen and I hope that you can soon get this sorted. It's great to hear that your radiotherapy will all be over for Christmas. I hope that it goes well for you,

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
