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

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

Sorry to hear that but I'm in good company with you.  Are you having another lumpectomy and did they find anything else?

x

Ah, you in the 20% club? Yes another lumpectomy and at some point the radiotherapy. Thankfully still non invasive xx

Yes I am - diagnosed last week. Didn't realise it was only 20% - grrrr! Good news that it's non invasive - remember that when you're feeling fed up :happy:

My surgery is on 30 March so let's keep in touch and keep each other positive.

x

How are you feeling now it's close again to your surgery? I must admit the thought of being laid up again isn't a thrilling prospect after starting to feel a bit more normal! Let's hope they get it all this time for both of us.

I had a mini emotional meltdown last weekend but I think that's because I was getting back on my feet and starting to do more and got sideswiped by Covid!!!

Hi GT63

Thanks for remembering. Yes, my SMX, implant surgery and node biopsy is on Wednesday. I am absolutely dreading it. You are so right - it's been so lovely being able to do things again; I feel I am going back to square one. Dreading the drain, dreading them finding cancerous cells in my nodes, dreading having some weird alien foob. I've been trying to keep busy by decorating my daughter's room but it's never far away. 

PCR tomorrow then weird dye injection on Tuesday. On the plus side I've lost 1/2 a stone as feel vaguely sick most of the time :laugh:

When is your surgery? Will it be affected by having Covid? Hope you are feeling ok?

x

Do let me know how you get on. Mine's on 4th April. I'll have PCR on Friday coming so hopefully will be clear - 

Good to keep busy where we can, I'm still not fully operational physically though after my last surgeries and the itching is driving me insane! Also get a sensation in my nipple like someone is trying to tweak it off every so often :cry xx

I've done so many lfts that my nose is really sore now! I will definitely let you know how I get on - I'm sure it won't be as bad as I think. The 4 week wait has felt like 4 years!

Sorry to hear you're not fully operational yet - hopefully you'll be better after the next one.

x

Really sorry to hear you had covid. Hope you are feeling better now 

Are you waiting for another surgery? And have they said that having had covid will delay this? My husband has tested positive today. He's now banished to the bedroom to try (probably in vain) to stop me from getting it. Am due surgery on 7th April which has already been delayed cos surgeon had covid!

It's tough enough isn't it without throwing covid into the mix!

Hope you have a good rest of the weekend! Sending best wishes xx

Just had a call from the hospital to cancel my surgery for tomorrow as surgeon has Covid. I am so upset and angry - have been waiting 3 months and put my life on hold for the past 2 weeks - missing out on so many things with my kids and farming them out to other people. Had a melt down yesterday as I'm on the edge and now feel like I'm not going to have the surgery at all. I just can't take any more of this stress.

Hi Bubblesmum. 

I am so sorry this has happened to you. The waiting and expectation then being let down so late in the day must be horrific.

We're they are to give you a new date?

Sending hugs and best wishes xx

Oh Bubblesmum I'm so sorry to read this.

I totally get how you are feeling, you must be devastated. I had my surgery last Friday and that was all I thought about - not getting Covid, or the surgeon.  I'm sure it was only by luck that I managed to get it done.  I'm just so sorry.

I know I'd be on that phone daily to the appointments clerk or secretary demanding to know when they can give you a date.  In my mind this shouldn't be happening - Covid happens but they should have a back up surely.

Try to stay calm in the knowledge that there will be no harm in another week or so and you can get this done.  Thinking of you.  M x

So sorry to hear this. As said, they should have some back up. I've got my PCR on Friday ready for Monday and waiting to hear something or not is so difficult. Then also the worry of the surgeon getting it :confused:

I do hope you get your date soon and you can start to move forward. Thinking of you x
