Hi [@WarriorWilko]‍ welcome to the thread but so sorry you find yourself here . This group of ladies have been a fantastic support to me and will be to you also . 

I’m 45 was diagnosed in March IDC her2 + , Ed &pr+ , and it’s in my lymph nodes . Had chemo and have had mastectomy and auxiliary clearance last Thursday. It’s a tough long road but you will get there . We have all been there when you feel every little ache and pain and you imagine the worst . I’m sending you positive vibes and support. 

Hope all goes well for you with your results . 

Take care

Hello BigJean

It’s good to hear from you - thank you for replying. It’s so good to know we’re not on our own on this journey, although I wish none of us were on it in the first place. I really hope you get your drain out today or tomorrow and that you can catch up on some sleep. You sound very positive though and I know that will really help, both physically and mentally in our recoveries. I’m trying to get there and today has been fractionally easier than yesterday. 

Sending you too my best wishes

Hi WL

been thinking of you today. Hope you got the answers re your results today xx 

Hey

Thanks, I saw the breast surgeon and he explained everything and the measurement which I understand now. He said it's all out and said he was really happy with the results, it was downgraded from 3 to 2 aswell. 
Should find out on Thursday when I will have my skin graft and then it's focus on healing in order to start radiotherapy. I feel so much better now. I'm at home as well, was discharged yesterday.

thanks for your support everyone, means everything to me that I have you guys here when I need you.

Hi BigJean

ive just finished my chemo and have ct scan for radiotherapy tomorrow but after radiotherapy I’m on tamoxifen for five years I just wondered if you have started taking it how you have been on it x 

WL

so glad you have been discharged and back at home. Nothing beats being around our home comforts x so glad too you got clarity over your results and for it to be downgraded is great news x sending you hugs WL you are nearly there me lovelie xx 

Hi Mejules, 

that’s fantastic well done you on finishing chemo. One hurdle done !! 

Ive only started it since Saturday, I take it at night time as I read lots of women saying it’s better to take at night . I’ve been a bit restless and a little bit hot !! That’s it so far no other problems.

good luck with your ct scan . 

Take care

Hi Woollylamb

Thrilled to hear you have been discharged and can continue to recover at home.  There is nothing better than being in your own home!!

You must be over the moon with your results now you have been downgraded, that is truly amazing.  

Keep the positive news and thought coming!!

I was at hospital yesterday and my infection has finally cleared so they were able to stitch me up and remove my drain (only 35 days!!!), oh it feels great!

I'm booked in for my mastectomy next Wednesday and this morning woke up with a desire to clean my kitchen through so that's what I'm doing and enjoying every second.  Taking it very slowly but just a good feeling.

Please look after yourself, keep warm and well.  Good luck for the appointment on Thursday. Rosie

Morning mejules

Great news the chemo has finished.  Hope the CT scan goes well and the radiotherapy isn't too tiring.  How long are you having it for?  Isn't it lovey each time you cross a hurdle!!

Rosie

Hi

Well done for finishing chemo, I know you found it tough but brilliant that you stuck it out to the end. Onto the next phase. X 

Hi Rosie 

So pleased your infection has cleared and the drain is out, just take it easy with the cleaning. I ended up redecorating the downstairs loo before my op! 

So op next Wednesday, will be good to get it over and done with. Just a suggestion, I got myself a mastectomy pillow for under my arm and it's been a god send. I got it from Jens friends on Facebook, she does them for free and asks for a donation towards postage, might be worth a look. Will be thinking of you next week. X

Hi Woolylamb,

I'm glad to hear that the breast surgeon was able to explain everything to you a bit more clearly. It's great to hear that it is all out and, even better to discover that it has been downgraded.

I thought that you were staying in hospital until you had your skin graft, so it must be a bonus to have got home for a few days. Let's hope that you don't have too long to wait for it.

Kind regards,
