Mastectomy looming

Hi

I'm newly diagnosed with Grade 2 Lobular breast cancer and are due to have mastectomy on Wed 16  June with a reconstruction too. I'm just not sure how I'm going to feel when its happened, all I know at the moment is I'm scared, literally from day of diagnosis to the op is 26 days so not much time to get my head around it.

Any advice would be appreciated  

Thanks 

Poppy

  • Hi Poppy 

    Wishing you the very best of luck. 

    After being recalled after 1st mammogram and with no symptoms, I have had to have biopsy on radial scar to see if have lobular cancer. Will find out Friday. Not feeling hopeful at all.

    Obviously very interested in your experience so far, and also would be very grateful for advice from others who have gone through this.

    Just completely terrified at the moment. 

    Take care

    I am due to have a mastectomy on the 16th June too. As each day goes past my anxiety grows so I can appreciate how you are feeling. Not sure I have any constructive advice but just wanted to send you a virtual high five and best wishes too. 

    Will send you a friend request and if you want to accept we can message

     

     

  • Hi Brummiemom,

    Thank you for your reply, and wishing me the best of luck.

    Its a very difficult time when waiting for the biopsy results  i too tried to feel positive but after being told by the consultant there was 4 suspicious lumps then I suppose knew it was going to be cancer.

    I initially had a mammogram because I felt a lump as I am 49. 

    Wishing you a the luck too and please feel free to let me know how u get on, I totally understand how you feel as I felt that way too.
