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

Hi Jolamine, 

I’m ok thank you. I took my dressing off today, and feel a little more comfortable as a result. If only I could have a more restful night, I’d feel a lot better xx

Hi GoonerGirl, 

I'm glad to hear that your dressing is off now and that you are feeling a little more comfortable as a result. Lack of sleep can really get you down. Would you consider taking something to help you to sleep, even if it was only for a short while?

Regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Jolamine, 

I will see how I go- I would certainly consider taking something to help me sleep if it goes on for too long, but I’m assuming that as I continue to heal it will naturally improve. There’s a 2 week wait for an appointment at my doctors surgery (unless it’s an emergency) so I’m hoping things will have settled by then. I might mention it when I go for my follow up appointment xx

Hi GoonerGirl,

Mention it at your follow up appointment, or phone your nurse if you need help before that.. I had the same problem post-op, along with some terrible night sweats.  I didn't take sleeping tablets, but I did resort to Venlafaxine (a mild anti-depressant), which helped with the night sweats, sleep and my mood swings. This made a huge difference to how I felt in general.
