Hi
I’m due to have this in early Oct (waiting confirmation of actual date); and beginning to get anxious; not sure why. I had low grade DCIS (2 WLE & 3 weeks rads). Very good margins after 2nd op.
Is this more to do with 12 months ago preparing for first WLE due to inconclusive biopsy. I’ve been pretty positive all through with the odd blip. So why has this “hit me”.
I called hospital to check registrar had made referral as not convinced by him & I was previously missed for referral from surgery to Onc earlier in year. Spoke to a lovely lady who confirmed referral held, agreed which of the 2 local hospitals to go to I opted for 1 I knew as wirelocalisation carried out prior to first WLE & everyone was very good. She then told me only clinic on Thursday morning but I would see radiologist prior to leaving so this is 1 for me. The other hosp is larger but more like a general x-ray you go in have your pics then leave. More clinics held so would be quicker. I may be OK with this next year but we’ll see.
I should be feeling great; not sure why I’m not. Since treatment hit the gym and dropped 2 dress sizes feel well except a bit of nerve pain & stiff chest muscle every now & then.
After reading news this morning; perhaps I need to have a glass of wine as in the 50+ age bracket & good for you well today anyway; probably not by tomorrow.
Going to Oban on 17th any ladies know good places to eat/visit? I’ve never been to Scotland before so looking forward to it. Need to stop worrying over something I can’t do anything about, & enjoy my hols.
Feel better having posted this; did anyone have any pain in treated boob on follow up mammo’s & if so is there anything I can take before hand?
Any advice is most welcome.
