Hi,

how are you ?

xx

Hiya, I haven’t started yet, only had the practice session on Tuesday but I think will be OK.  Hopefully starting next week.

Any tips?! X

Hi,

any tips.? Don’t stress over it, the machine cuts out if you loose ur breathe which is what I was scared of,  just relax and you’ll be fine, I made it my mission to do it correctly each time, you will get used to it each session and it becomes so natural after each session. You’ll be fine babe xx

Thank you! Sounds like our stories are very similar. I am feeling abit better about it today speaking to friends.  My hospital have rung today and had a cancellation for an MRI tomorrow so I took it. So pleased with how quick they have dealt with things so far. Kind of dreading the scan and the results but just know it’s another step to take. 

This board definitely does help and makes you realise that you’re not on your own. 

Will let you know how I get on too x

Ok babe take care and stay positive xx

Hey,

they have planned surgery for me on Tuesday to removed the lump and the first lymph node. They don’t think it’s spread there but I keep feeling like pains and aching under arm pit. Did any of you feel this? I keep thinking that it’s spreading there and it’s sending me crazy. 

Got to go back today for a pre op. They are planning on radio anyway but said that I would have to wait two weeks for the results to see what action to take next- chemo or no chemo. 

I was feeling ok until yesterday. I never had any bad news yesterday, in fact was positive. I had to have another biopsy on a diff looking tissue in my other breast which came back fine. (It was picked up on my MRI) I just feel like I could have bad news to come. How did you all feel about waiting for the results? Did you all have a feeling that it was spreading? 

Need some reassurance as feeling upset again.

Hi,

sorry to hear you are feeling down, any aches and pains you will naturally think it’s the cancer that’s spread, it isn’t it’s just your mind thinking that. I know the waiting is hell but you will get through it babe, I did struggle a bit in case  I needed chemo but then I got my head round it, you have to realise that it’s a good thing and will cure you, in the end I just needed radiotherapy which for me was a breeze. Stay strong sweet and talk on this forum anytime you feel like it cos it really does help. Xx

Hi X14lurx03, 

Best of luck for your op on Tuesday, I found mine fine to be honest, lots of rest afterwards if you can.

its normal to see other aches and pains and think it’s related, I did and still do sometimes. Everything is looking good, your situation sounds similar to mine. Had op, now on tamoxifen and start radiotherapy in September. 

The two weeks waiting for results can be difficult, I found this hard but I also was coming on my period and the anaesthetic made me very weepy about a week post op so I think it was just an emotional time anyway! Perfectly normal to feel up and down. 

Always pop on here if you need support and need to be lifted. 

Just think on Tuesday it will be gone!! Xx

Just been reading this thread as I’m sure many others do and there is always so much to gain in hearing others stories . I’m in the waiting for resultant post op stage . Grade 1 cancer .. had breast reduction .. others don’t often mention this and just say lumpectomy but I assume some maybe have had the same op as me .. I was remonded today if my pregnancy days and when you meet people who are a few weeks ahead of you and it seems miles ahead .. a few weeks can be a very different position in this set up too .. I hold on to the fact my mother had breast cancer 30 years ago .. she had a lumpectomy radiotherapy and was part of the tamoxifen trials .. she never had another reoccurrence and is still going very strong ages 80 .. I have panic moments and dread being told I need chemo .. but will face that’s if I need to .. I took 3 weeks off work and am glad I did .. trying to relax and have sone me time .. I have 3 children .. my results are next Thursday .
