Remember you can deal with what you know. Sending strength x

Thank you xxxx

I do hope you go theatre early hun, they told me I was going after 1pm, so sent other half off to get a breakfast from the cantine. When he came back I was then told to get changed into the lovely gowns and by 11am I was taken to theatre, partner walked so far with me...by 11.45 I was in THE room, again after several checks that was to make sure who I was...giggling at that now...everyone and I mean everyone was just so lovely. My nerves kicked in again and crying but it didn't matter they were lovely and understanding. Most of the time up to the operation we were in a waiting room and only on a ward after the operation. Xxx

Same here hun, just shout out I'll be here xxx

I hope so too to be honest Im okay in moments and then it really is just like a wave of fear washed over me. I sort of joked around with them like “Il happily take sedation before it I wont mind” seriously would take it in a heartbeat though :-D! The surgeon said he will try and get to me first so fingers crossed. Xx

Try not think about it now until the day, I did that albeit I had my moments. Have a lovely tea the night before and get an early night. On the day, when we pulled up in the car park I said I wanted to go home, I got a slight ticking off lol, bloody nervous xxx

It's been a lovely place to get support. I've also got a lot from my Breast Cancer Now Younger Women Together group. 

Of course you'll be up and down. I still am. The rage I felt after the *** up with my oncotype results was like nothing else I've ever felt. I didn't sleep well all that weekend. 

But now whilst I'm still waiting for results at least I now know they should be back by mid next week and when I get home. 

Rest up. Do the exercises (take pain meds first an hour before is my recommendation).  I didn't have a shower for about 2 weeks. Lots of sink washes and trips to the hairdresser for hair washes as my husband wouldn't have managed not to soak my dressings over the bath/sink. Xx

That's a good idea about taking pain medication an hour before, ill do that going forward. Made me giggle about your hubby and hair wash lol...awww. going for a sink wash now lol xxx

Oh lovely I cant believe you still haven't been given the results. Surely they understand how challenging of a time it is! 

Ladies you aren't alone Im so up and down lately, I go from fine and going through day to day life as normal to being a bit of a mess semi regularly at the mo. Ive found myself just quietly leaving the room to sit by myself from time to time, have a little cry and feel terrified then head back into the room once Ive calmed down. Its a emotional minefield xxx

Hope all goes well on Wednesday Rambleon88   

How are you getting on TM1 ?  

I got a call at 9am UK time. Apparently the results came in last night and it's 59/100 so it's definitely chemo. They've made the referral first thing so I'm just waiting for the planning meeting now. We fly home tomorrow. X

Thank you lovely, just packed my hospital bag today and its all feeling very real. 

Im sorry to hear your having chemo, we are here every step if you need to vent. Hope you enjoyed your holiday though lovely and thank goodness you managed a get away prior to starting chemo treatment. xxxx
