Waiting!!

I'm nearly a week post double mastectomy ( grade 2 aggressive lobular cancer) cancer in my right breast but left also removed ( long story) 

I'm not in pain, just struggling waiting for my results from my sentinel biopsy. It's the not knowing what's next! 
Do I need the nodes removing, do I need treatment or is everything ok!!! They think it's been caught early but the biopsy will confirm.

Waiting is awful, anyone else? Xxxxx

 

  • Hello KPjc

    I'm sorry to hear that you're in the really difficult limbo phase of waiting for results post-mastectomy. I know how difficult it can be and it's understandable that you're feeling anxious about what the next steps may be and if any further surgery will be needed. 

    How are you recovering from the surgery in general? Do make sure that you keep on top of your exercises as this will help in the long run. 

    It can often help to talk things through with someone and I'd recommend giving our team of nurses a call. I know they'll be happy to chat things through with you and offer any advice, information, and support that they can ahead of your results appointment. If you'd like to chat with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
