  • 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

    yes all going well, reviewed today and the graft has taken, . Also got my appointment for the radiotherapy oncologist next week. So we are motoring on.

     

    Sorry to hear it was cancelled but it all needs to be right before it can go ahead. Fingers crossed  it all can go ahead. I have lovely nails for the first time ever as well which is a bonus. 
     

    Thinking of you for tomorrow.

  • Hi Woollylamb and [@Jolamine]‍ 

    Well all is good, the treatment has worked, blood results were good and I've been told I can now go ahead and have my mastectomy!!!

    Now just to wait for the phonecall telling me when to go in, hopefully it won't be long but in the meantime there's always something to do so will be ticking things off my list.

    Wishing you both a fabulous weekend.  Mine is going to start at 6pm with a glass of white!

    Hi Rosie,

    This is great news. I hope that you enjoyed that glass of wine to celebrate.

    Don't forget to let us know when your appointment comes through. It doesn't usually take long  at this stage.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Thanks Jolamine

    I hope I know soon, I can cope with any wait when I know the date, it's not knowing as we all know that is difficult!

    Glass of wine was amazing so will have another tonight!!

    Have a great weekend.

  • Hi Woollylamb

     

    Great to see your post!!!  How are you doing and how are you feeling?  You are amazing getting all your decorating done, when will you do your tree?

     

    I have my mastectomy on Wednesday 4th so not long to wait now..........  Not sure about our decorations and trees, will get this week out the way and see how things are then.......

     

    You take care but update me!! Rosie 

  • Hi

    We need to go and choose the tree and the weekend, then we will decorate it listening to Christmas songs and drinking hot chocolate. 
     

    I am doing ok, skin graft is doing its thing which is good, saw the radiotherapy oncologist last week, we agreed I could have December off from treatment as I'd been through a lot, so will start that in January. Started tamoxifen, and they also want to have zoladex and bisphosphonates at some point. And back to the hospital tomorrow for the results of the nipple removal I had when they did the skin graft. So all going ok at the minute.

    Pleased you have the date for your mastectomy,    you will feel better when it's done, and you can recover over Xmas. I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday.

    Hi Woolylamb,

    Wow, you are doing well to be putting up Christmas decorations! I'm glad to hear that you've had no problem with your wounds this time and, that all is healing well.

    How are you coping with Tamoxifen? I am sure that you'll be feeling pretty nervous about your results tomorrow, but I hope that they go well.

    Will be thinking of you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

    Hi Rosie,

    Well, not long to wait until Wednesday. I sincerely hope that it all goes well.

    I shall be thinking of you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hi Rosie
