Hi Kirsty, I hope you feel ok after surgery and mending well x 

Thank you Jolamine.  Had the ultrasound scan and they took a biopsy of one of the nodes that had showed up in the MRI.  So another 2 weeks to wait for these results now.  Xx

Hi Jacksonjet,

How are you coping with all this waiting? It must be getting you down.

Thinking of you and always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Jackson 

how are you doing lovely hope you are ok xx love Lara xx 

Just a little, as was expecting to at least have a surgery date.  So fingers crossed I get one within the next 2 weeks x 

Hi lara. I’m good, thanks for asking.  You? X 

Hi Jacksonjet,

Here's hoping that you get one through soon.

Hi all. Just an update. Biopsy from nodes came back negative so good news about that.  
Surgery date is next tues so I’m over the moon about that. lumpectomy with skin removal and 3 nodes for further testing.   
Next treatment will be radiotherapy and hormone treatment .   I’m so happy that I can stop overthinking now. 

Hi Jacksonjet,

It was good to get an update from you, I’m pleased that you have a surgery date, and that you know what the next stages will be- it helps knowing what to expect, doesn’t it? 

xx

Jacksonjet 

good news good luck for surgery 

Hi Jacksonjet,

I am delighted to hear that your nodes are clear and that you now have a date for surgery. You'll be glad that you have your results back and that you can now proceed with surgery - it's so much easier when you know exactly what your diagnosis is and you can move on to fighting this.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

So glad ,  been and had my seed implanted today ready for the surgery. X 

Yes it sadly will hurt a lot…. They don’t want to say that but 2,3,4 weeks bruising seems the normal

HI Jacksonjet,

I am glad to hear that your mag seed has now been implanted and you are all ready for surgery. How are you feeling about it all now?

Regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Jolamine.  Since I was given my surgery date it was like a weight lifted off me.  The past week or 2 I’ve been kind of making myself feel ill worrying about waiting for more results.  But now I’m all set to go  I feel much better x 

Also ladies. Just a quick one.  Did anyone lose any hair before they were diagnosed?  4 weeks before I even went to the doctors a large clump of my hair came out (left side of my head is bald). Luckily I have long thick curly hair. But was just wondering if this had happened to anyone else. 

Morning all.  Just a quick update.  Had surgery on tues. All went well.  First 3 nights were awful for sleep but last couple of nights have been fine. How long did everyone take off work after surgery?  I was hoping to be back to work possibly wed/ thurs however I still feel very sickly when I’m sitting / standing so I don’t think that will be happening.  

Morning lovely! I’m glad to hear everything went well with your surgery. I took 2 weeks off work and then went back for a week but ended up off work again as I had really bad nerve pain that started 3 weeks post op. I would definitely give yourself plenty time to rest and recover. Everyone is different but I felt I rushed back to work too quickly as I was desperate to get back to some kind of normality. Take it at your own pace and see how you feel xx

Thankyou I will x 

Hi lara , I have worked from home since day after surgery, like you, for normality . Work has been really been great with me. X
