Hi, I live in Shaw near Oldham and was diagnosed a year ago, felt then just as you do now, had my treatment at Oldham and now at N Manchester, 2 ops, 6 chemo, 4 weeks of rads and now on Tamoxifen, I’m 37. Would be nice to meet someone local, this can be such an isolating experience though there is good support on here.

hi starflower, i agree with you as you do feel quite isolated, i dont know what to expect on weds when the core biopsy results come back, im just hoping that its ok really if you know what i mean? i am having surgery on the 3rd july which is a week on friday at tameside general hosp, i speak to the nurses daily as im so anxious? they have told me about the various medications although cant be specific until weds. i just want the op and to move on… if that makes sense and hopefully then this fear feeling will leave my body??? and i will be mind set on getting better??? i would love to meet up though for coffee if you are upto it?

Hi Molly,

I live in the Offerton area of Stockport. Had mastectomy and removal of lymph nodes on 12 May, have now had 2 of 6 chemo and will have 15 radiation and 3 years on tablets after that.

You will have had your operation by now. Was it a mastectomy or lumpectomy? I was amazed of how little pain there was after the operation. The drains are a drag, but it does not last for too long (you’re probably rid of them now).

Please as me anything.

Best regards
