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

Thank you xxxx

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

Hiya, awww really, hope your OK? I'm not too bad today, so far, was very emotional yesterday, could not stop crying! Still a but sore and stiff but have been doing exercises regularly. Got physio Thursday at the hospital and follow up appointment 4th October....taking one day at a time xx

Definitely here if need us Redruth84, safe journey home. Aww Rambleon88 be strong hun, I really hope you get home same day sweetheart. Xxx

Morning hun, how are you? I've managed to take my dressing off earlier! Was a little tender but did it slowly. Appearance not as bad as I thought, just a long white strip over surgery area which I have to leave for about 10 days, it may come off itself once I start getting showers again, can't wait to get one lol. Breast care nurse rang as well, she's so lovely. Have to rearrange my physio as I didn't realise, after talking with her, I can't drive for two weeks:-(, I won't be insured. My other half can't take me, which is fine. Now waiting on physio team to call back so I can rearrange. Really hope you are OK hun, I  know your emotions will be all over the place but here if you need to vent. Be strong lovely, sending mahoosive hugs to you xxxxx

Hello sweetness!!! Awe thank you!! Im weirdly calm at the moment but had a bit of a mini breakdown quietly to myself yesterday night and felt better from it. Thats fabulous news with your surgical site!! How long have they said you have to wait till you can shower? Ive put a little bag ready with wet wipes and skin friendly anticbac wipes for my arm pits but Im normally someone who LOVES perfume and layering scents so the ole wet wipe wash is going to be urgh for a bit :-D!! How are you feeling now lovely? Xxx

You made me giggle with the perfume bit, I'm same, sink wash not to be sniffed at, roaring laughing. Just had a shower, kept my back to the shower head, used a flannel at the site, only dabbing though, another scrunchie for everywhere else lol. I finally feel clean!! Managed to wash my hair to, yippee. I'm OK at the moment, going to put my make up on and dry my hair. Still got the pressure socks on, no I took them off to shower hahaha..  found my best leggings to go over so I don't look like I'm the walking wounded. Left arm, hmm feels a bit stiff if that's the right description. I'll just have to careful and take my time.. your bound to break down hun, I did coming out the shower, my dad popped in my head and I just said "dad, has it gone?", then I had a little cry. Don't hold it in hun, it's better to let it out...what time do you have to be at hospital tomorrow? Xxx

Oh lovely that with your Dad just instantly made me want to give you the biggest hug!! Have they said when you can expect some results after surgery? Awwww so glad you’ve managed a shower, its wild how much putting yourself fresh and clean makes you feel like yourself! Ive got to be there 7:30am so bright and early, hoping I can just get it done and over with first thing and be home same day xxxx

4th October hun at 12 Noon, when I see the Professor I'm under, hopefully I'll know one or the other.. it is early hun, we had to wait in a lounge, different operations going on. Obviously don't know what hospital your at but there's lots of people you'll see hun and you'll probably get asked same questions over and over, stay calm...pray you get in and out, have a relaxing day today, have a good meal at tea time. I feel fresh as a daisy lol....hair and make up done, not going anywhere but helps me feel a bit normal. Yeah lost my dad to the big C, 19 years ago, yet seems like yesterday. I kept busy day before so do your best today, and did I tell you, went into surgery and still had my bra on...., can laugh now, nurse was so understanding she bagged it up and put it with my stuff...xxx

Oh bless you Im so sorry you lost your Dad. Gosh 4th of October is quite a wait! Do you have anything nice planned in the mean time to take your mind off it? So glad your feeling fresher and a bit more yourself. I just want it done now but I know as Im waiting in the room Il want to be anywhere else. It just makes the whole situation so very real doesn't it. Ive got my scruffy joggys and hoodies at the ready for tomorrow, wearing a bra is so easily done lol Il have to remind myself in the morning not to wear one. Ive got these front zip up bras at the ready so my little sponge insert can go in pretty quickly. What a rollercoaster though! Xxxx

Sorry hun, had a busy day lol,, went for a walk with my other half and the dog, weather was lovely. We thinking we might have a couple of days away next week, Wales maybe, will see how I am. Now best of luck tomorrow, sending love. I'll be thinking of you xxxxx

Im from Wales!!! Its a beautiful place just a bit rainy but it can be so beautiful and your never too far from the coast! 

All done just waiting on getting my cannulas out and been told Il be discharged around 4:30ish.

I just wanted to say such a massive thank you to you all for your support through this, you all have comforted me more than you know and made me feel less alone. 
Sending much love xxxx

I'm glad you are going to be able to get home today. That's amazing. Rest up and heal. Xx

Hey hun, awww how are you feeling? More than welcome, couldn't have got through myself without these chats with all on here. You've done amazing so far, now REST up, your not alone, and I hope you get home for some TLC....love and hugs xxxx

How are you today hun? Xxx

Thank you lovelies!!!

Im officially home, just had some treat foods and just chilling out. Hopefully on the road to recovery now. 

Sending lots of love and hugs xxx

That's great to hear, you've done really well hun. Get an early night and hope you sleep well...sending lots of hugs, look forward now, together xxx

That's really good. Painkillers before bed and get a good night's sleep if you can. Don't push yourself for the next few weeks and give yourself the time to heal properly. Xx
