Hi All!

I hope everyone managed to get at least a little bit of respite from the fear and anxiety this weekend.

Vicki - how was the beach hut? Hope that fresh air did the trick for you.

Take care of yourselves xx

I took the kids to the cinema on Saturday, and then had my sons 4th birthday party on Sunday. So I've managed to keep quite well distracted!! 
 

The breast clinic just called, and they've moved my results appointment to 9:40 on Thursday, instead of 11:40. So at least I don't have to worry all morning. It will be school run, then appointment!! Praying for benign results!! Xxx

Thank you :-)

That's interesting about the high strength vitamin d. I haven't heard anything about this but will defo look out. I take a multi vitamin which has vit D but anything that might help is worth a go!

Will let you know how Thursday goes!

Take care xx

Hi! All the best for Thursday. Been where you are. I'm 3 weeks post lumpectomy and 2 weeks post haematoma surgery. Thursday is a big day for me too as I get my results from the lumpectomy. Biggest worry is not having clear margins or the diagnosis changing. 
Wishing everyone well for the coming week and for whatever stage you're at or facing this week that we find some peace

Thank you!

And wishing you all the best for your results on Thursday. 

I totally understand your worry about margins. I really hope yours are clear. 

Take care and let us know how you get on. Big hugs x

Hi

Wishing you all the best for your surgery - I'm sure you will mentally feel so much better once it's done and then you will be on the road to recovery.

Hi

You sound like you've been though it. Hoping you get clear margins on Thursday and your diagnosis remains the same. Let us know how you get on.

Hi 

My next surgery is just after yours on 30th. Hoping for the very best outcome for you and everyone else on this journey. I'm trying to keep as busy as possible - just wish I could turn my brain off!

Like you, I wish it was happening this week but at least it's this month.

Thankyou.  Wishing you all the best for surgery on the 30th.  We are all in good hands no doubt.  Anyone getting results this week, all the best too.
 

You're so right about keeping busy.  Im just grateful im moving house and will be busy packing so it's keeping my mind off things.  It really does help.

Take care x

I will, thank you

Hello lovely lady. Just wanted to wish you all the very best for your surgery tomorrow. I hope I got the date right? 

How are you feeling? Xxx

Thank you so much!!

Yes tomorrow is the day! Eeek. Not really sure how I'm feeling to be honest.....scared, sad, relieved it will soon be done, the occasional dread and fear that I won't wake up (I blame my step-mother for banging on about how it's a long time to be under and she can't believe I'll be OK to come home the same day, last time she had a general they needed the crash team twice....really not what I needed to hear!) ...a whole mix going on haha!!

Hope you're doing OK....have you had your second chemo yet? Sorry....i lose track!! 

Thank you for thinking of me! Take care hun xx

Thank you so much!!

Oh bless you. I shall be feeling the exact same way before I go under. The last time I had a general was in 2009 I think, for a laparoscopy. I remember my heart banging in my chest just before I went under as was petrified I'd not wake up. Our minds do awful things to us!! 

Am positive you will be fine and you will be so relieved to have come through it. 

Had second chemo yesterday and I am surprisingly OK today. Had 6 intense hours of bed ridden nausea headache and back ache and then really wobbly on my feet this morning but way better this time than last time. They halved my steroid dose which helped enormously.

I will be thinking of you tomorrow. 

Big hugs

Vicki xx

I know right.....seriously my mind has been my worst enemy since all this began!! I've had about 6 generals over the years (was an accident prone child) and wasn't even worrying about it until a few days ago!!

Really good to hear that round two was so much better for you (despite the six hours) and that changing the steroid dose seems to have done the trick!

Hugs all round xx

I WOKE UP!!

Haha! Alll done and as far as I know it went well! A little groggy and sore but so far so good.

Thank you for your hugs and best wishes. I really appreciate the support here.

Lots of love xx

I'm so happy!! Well done you. Proud of you. Well that's that done! 

Thank you for letting me know. Was thinking of you.  Rest easy and speak soon.

Love and hugs xxx

Hurrah! Well done on getting through it. I'm sure you feel incredibly relieved. Rest up and take all the drugs!

xx

Thank you so much!!

I'm home now curled on the sofa in a nest of pillows with my husband at me beck and call!!

Take care and will keep you posted.

Hugs xx

Thank you Bubblesmum!

I really do feel relieved! Drugs are a definite and excuse the cliche but time to Netflix and Chill haha xx

Take care and sending hugs x

Always good to hear! Hope you're not too sore- rest up. We're all different and recovery varies. Sending and  
 

ive just been for lumpectomy results and unfortunately I'm one of the 20% who hasn't got a clear margin on one side. So more surgery in 4 weeks

Oh no. Really very sorry to hear this. Hope you are coping OK. It's so rough isn't it.

Sending hugs and thinking of you xx

It's frustrating more than anything, just when I'm starting to heal. I've had a few tears but now pulling up my big girl pants. At the end of the day we just want to see the end of this don't we? My last post should've sent you a flower and a hug but it didn't show the emojis! X
