Thankyou so much Purple. I will report back,  though from what I have read it should be fine. 

Make sure you spoil yourself and as my mum says, listen to your body,  rest well and drink plenty of water. Keep in touch. We are all fighters! Xx

Hi Harvell,

Thank you for your good wishes. Whereabouts on your mum's face was her mole? Mine is just under my eye and close to the nasal passage. I am told that this will present difficulties and, will need skin grafting after. I am glad to hear that your mum is now fine. Did your mum have any grafting post-surgery?

Not long now until radiotherapy starts. I bet that you were relieved to dodge chemo.

I hope that your treatment all goes well.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Purple,

Hope that your biopsy goes well tomorrow and that you will be able to cancel Wednesday's appointment after that.

Will be thinking of you.

Kind regards,

Hi Marlyn,

Many thanks for your good wishes. If this one produces a poor pathology result, I fear that there may be several more to come. They are a bit worried because it is so close to the eye and nasal passage to get a wide enough margin. I have had 5 eye operations in the past 2 years, so don't want anything else to cause problems with my sight.

Here's hoping that all goes well for you on Wednesday.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Jolamine

Mum's skin cancer was at the sides of both eyes and to a lesser extent underneath her right eye. I don't think technically it was moles. She was very lucky to get it early and she didn't  need skin grafts. She looked like she had gone a few rounds in the boxing ring after surgery! You can't see scars now. Amazing! I hope your treatment goes well. It is always a worry when it's anywhere on the face but the serger these days is wonderful. 

Thank you for your good wishes and I send mine back to you. I am thankful to not have chemo but it's still good days and bad days emotionally.

Good luck tomorrow Purple, I will be thinking about you.

Thank you Harvell. I'll get there eventually.

Hello Jolamine/Harvell

Thank you both for your best wishes, so very kind.

Jolamine, you are in my thoughts as you go through your current journey. I hope your pathology results are positive. You are in my prayers.

Just an update.  I had the axilla ultrasound biopsy today. Radiologist identified one suspicious looking node and biopsied.

My consultant explained that they had hoped for results today, but wasnt possible.

She confirmed that SLNB isn't necessary. She said there seemed to be lymph activity on MRI but this was unclear. 

I am relieved that I do not need to go through a GA.  However, my over analysing mind now worries something has been missed.

Hugs to you both. Xx

Hi Marilyn,

I want to let you know that I will be thinking about you tomorrow. 

I hope that your chemo plan is put in place.

Let us know how you get on.

Big hugs to you xxx
