Hi Anne

Welcome you have done the right thing by joining. You will get a lot of advice People listen

It does help.  I had. Lumpectomy etc on the 26th March after your operation you will get a

Care plan. It's the waiting on Surgery and appointments that is frightening. Remember you

Hi Anne, as Jean has already said, this is a great place to talk to people who have been through everything you are now facing and really get the fear and the worry. We all need support, no matter where we are in this process, and the folk here can help, advise, listen, and generally be there for you.

I had bilateral lumpectomies and senitnel node biopsies in March and and am now three sessions away from completing a round of radiotherapy so am much further down the road than you but I still really appreciate all the help others here give and, as that old BT advert used to say, it's good to talk!

If you have any questions or simply want to rant & rave, this is the place to do it.Waiting for the next step is always difficult but you will get through it, I promise. I wish you all the very best for the 11th and don't forget we are always here for you. Take care  Sue xx

Hi Beatle.  Welcome to the forum!  I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis and also of your husband's illness.  I am glad to hear that you have supportive friends around you and just wanted to join Jean & Susu in saying that we are here for you on those lonely weekends/evenings.  Take care my friend and speak soon x

Hi Anne sorry about your diagnosis. I too have BC and will have a lumpectomy on the 16th June but what will come after that I'm unsure if chemo is on the cards but certainly radiotherapy.

im a single parents to a very inquisitive 7yr old whom I've yet to tell. I too am fine around people or even out shopping but do not want to go home on my own as I sit and ponder over what will happen to me but mostly what will happen to my daughter if I'm not around. Therefore I'm out and about whatever the weather, although costing me a fortune, to stop myself from getting too upset over what will be. 

I understand how you feel and hope you find strength to get through the lonely times

Thank you Kim for your message. Looks like we are going through this together. I took myself to town today to mix with other people so as not to think too much. As you say it's the unknown. Good luck with your op on the 15th. Will be thinking of you. It's hard when you are also caring for someone else. Anne x

Hi Anne, just touching base to see how your doing?? I hope your feeling a much brighter

Hi Beatle, just wanted to let you know that there are people here to talk to, even at the weekends.  I do know what you mean because my friends are also family folk, and wonderfully kind though they are, naturally their families come first.  But people are here, and we are always willing to talk.

i had my lumpectomy 3 days ago, home the same day, and although bruised and a bit sore, nothing as bad as I thought it would be.  The hard thing for me is not being able to drive - yet!

very very best wishes for the 11th, talk anytime, but do come back and let us know how you are doing.

hugs xx

Hi Kim, thank you for your concern. I am feeling a lot brighter as my partner is now a bit better. Had my pre op on Thurs so nearly there for the op on 11th. Anne x

Hi, thank you for your message. Glad to hear you are making progress after your op. I am trying to be optimistic and just had pre op. Not long now until 11th. Not sleeping too good but must be worrying without realising it. You take care and keep in touch. Anne x

Hi Anne

just wanted to wish you all the best for your op tomorrow, hugs xx
