My 2 daughters were such a blessing throughout. Came to all my appointments with me including radiotherapy- their place of work was very supportive nd told them to take whatever time they needed to t b there for me:-)

I’m not a clinician but wonder if it is a nervous tummy u have. Maybe a loss of interest in eating as u used to as well. Mind racing chasing its tail to nowhere. Hard to get to sleep nd waking early. All a normal reaction. 

Mention your worries at your appointment on the 8th. 

Keep doing what u r doing it will get easier. X

Thanks so much ! Yes think it is a nervous thing also I started taking iron tablets 10 days ago without being prescribed but think it was a bad idea !!yes the 8th can't come quick enough !!

Just wondering what options they gave u to consider.  Presumably they will give u your op date on the 8 th having given u time to process and have some thoughts on your treatment. I decided t have breast conservation they said lymph nodes looked clear but they took the 2 sentinel nodes out to biopsy to make certain anyway. My results post op was clear margins nd clear nodes- a relief:-) x

Hi Sandra 

they said they'd do a lumpectomy and take lymph nodes to check then radiotherapy , but will find out more on 8th X 

Thank you for you words of support mean so much ️

Cracking! Same as I had!

 I too had 2 appts pre op. 2nd appt was to go through decisions nd make sure I understood nd was in agreement. I was given my surgery date. I was sent for my pre op check too( just a questionnaire, bloods nd height nd weight stuff).

You might want t look at my threads I started:-day case op advice ( pre op)

and post op thread -  breast lumpectomy and node removal. 

Just click on my name scroll t threads nd click on thread u want t read. 

Also same for [@rileyroo]‍ her brill thread Radiotherapy. 

The treads aren’t really active now because we have moved on a little way further now.

Will give u an in-site to our journey ( remember everyone’s is of course different):-)

U may b wondering... what will I look like after? Can only comment on how mine looks. 1 st I had 2 lumps but they made 1 incision to take them both but obviously more tissue was taken for 2 than 1. That being said... scar wise- the incision was made around my areole - so now u have t look really close to see the scar - it just looks part of the edge of my areole. The lymph node scar is a bit more visible but it kinda looks like an armpit type crease. I have been swimming in my usual costume nd was confident no one could tell.... anything. Remember I can only tell u my experience:-)

So.... hang in there lass. I remember telling everyone after op that I had made everything bigger in my head than it actually was:-)

Deep breathes.... look this in the eye nd stare it down. U can do this!

have as good a day as u can. X

Thank you so much for taking time to help me ! Every day I feel drained and weak so this chat really helps xx

Thanks for your kind words just have so many aches and no energy feel like in living in shock x
