I was told yesterday I have triple negative tumor about 4 cms. I’m 39 with 2 girls 11 and 13.
I was told I’ll have chemo and then surgery but most of what he said passed in a blur.
I’m now waiting to have nodule test under arm.
The waiting is horrendous as I just want the treatment to start.
I’m scared but trying to act brave xx
Hello Anne
Thank you for your message . I know we are all different . Currently I’m sat in the registry office amending my wedding plans , I had a big 2 day event planned for August 2016 but as I will be poorly or recovering hopefully I do t think I will be well enough.
Now I just want to marry the love of my live asap in an intimate registry office and have a huge wedding blessing/party when I recover.
My emotions literally are up and down , my dad got in a car yesterday and travelled 10 hours to give me a hug .
One minute in crying then I can be calm.

Anne thank you do much for taking the time out to message me and make me smile.
You sound positive and have made me feel better.
Can I ask you how are you feeling after yesterday’s chemo ?
Xx
Evening ladies
Hope you are all doing ok. Sam bless you having change your wedding plans .
Anne and Sam I had eight rounds of Chemo fec d . I won’t lie it wasn’t easy but you will get through it . I then had right mastectomy and then 15 cycles of radiotherapy. You will get lots of support on here and having gone through it anything we can help with we will.
Sending you both lots of love. Anne I noticed you said , ducky , just wondered are you from stoke area like me xx
Hello I’m from Plymouth , footie team did recently have a good run which ended last weekend with local derby.
Fingers crossed you don’t feel to sick and the chemo does its job. My lump about 4 cm and consultant thinks I should try chemo first then surgery , so he can monitor which chemo works for me ?
Did you discover the lump yourself xx
Thank you Amanda . How look ago did you start your treatment .
Thank you for your message .

Hi Sam
I started my treatment last November, I have just started back to work just doing three days a week to start with. I do know of ladies who have worked all through chemo but I took a year off.
Xx
So Amanda you are 1 year on. How are you now ? Xx
Hi Sam
Yes I’m one year on now . I’m not too bad got a few aches and pains but not too bad xx
Best wishes to you Amanda xx
Jinny that’s really positive to hear . Glad to hear you are doing well xxx
Good morning
No date yet that’s what I’m waiting for , consultant told me on Wednesday it would be about 3 weeks ?
I only discovered my lump 3 weeks ago as its really deep in the breast tissue but big.
Hopefully I will get a date asp and will feel a bit better with an actual date the process will start.
Hope the chemo hasn’t had any effects today that have caused you to feel unwell , xxxx
Glad your feeling ok so far.
I didn’t even know you had to inject yourself as not seen oncology department re chemo yet.
So much stuff I will eventually be told. Xx
I know nothing !
Wig 2 . What did you go for ? Xx
Anne so pleased to read your good news:))
I’ve received my first oncology appointment today for mon 7th December so hopefully treatment will start soon after .
Again terrific news Ann . I have a huge smile just for you xx
Evening ladies
Hope you are all doing ok. Great news about your ct scan Anne. I’ve never had a full body scan I asked about it and my hospital don’t automatically do them !!
Glad you are doing well after three years Jennifer.
I had the injections after the docetaxol but not the fec. They are important to keep white blood cells up . My legs felt really heavy after them but I didn’t have any pain.
The docetaxol can raise your nails so if you have the chance ask for cold mitts . I also found that wearing black nail varnish all through helped and I didn’t loose any nails.
Sam you will feel much better once your treatment has started.
Amanda xx
Anne I’ve felt the warmth from here already and you have certainly helped me.
My younger daughter (11) has asked me lots of questions no so many from my 13 year old .
They lost their paternal grandad last year from C and I know that plays on their mind .
My other half is great , I eventually found my happy ever after with him and can’t wait to be his wife.
When I feel other aches /pains over my body and I can’t help fearing its related to the bc.
Your husband also sounds a great support who will help you through this chapter xx
I’m sure I will Amanda.
Xxx
Thank you pan for all that info
Currently my nails are long and red , oh well black and short for a while now then.
Xx
How are you doing Anne ? Xx
