I would have loved to come to Bournemouth one - but my 3rd FEC is that Friday 
(Unless of course, they decide tomorrow that they won’t do PICC and chemo on same day after all…lol… clutching at straws), in which case it might just fit in quite nicely… if I come home tomorrow not having had chemo, I shall be emailing tomorrow to see if there are any places left!

Aw Sophie,
hope it all goes well tomorrow, Bournemouth would be great to meet up as i missed Romsey last week but getting back on your feet fighting fit is more important, let me know how tomorrow goes & enjoy those choccies tonite & the bottle of wine.
Love to you

hiya Sarah,
Sounds quite similar to me from start to finish, to be honest I would take anything they throw at me if it stops it in its tracks, my mammo said 15 mm but ultrasound 19mm which is the one they tend to go with am told.
How did you feel the day after wle/snb ?
Sarah.xx
Sarah,
I was absolutely fine the day after surgery, you will just need to rest your arm they take the nodes from. Also you will be tired from the anathestic…
Get hubby and the kids to look after and spoil you!
Sarah X
Totally agree, day after I was ok, if a little tired

Just gutted I am too old to come, would love to have met you girlies
SJ xx
hi SJ,
I agree with you, would be lovely to have met you, am surprised at the age thing.
Am relieved about snb/wle, just want it out of the way now & then its the wait for results on the 6th January.xx
They told me in no uncertain terms that at 47 I was too old unless dx in the last 3 years!
Hey ho, that’s why I belong to the inbetweeners thread too old for “Younger” woman group, and yet I am pre-menopausal and too young for mammograms etc.

That’s a shame Sarajane since you’re only 2 years older than their limit. We will all meet at Kaz’s ball anyway.
I definitely wouldn’t go to the London one while having chemo - the Underground is too packed with people with germs ;0)
Hi everyone
Deed - have a fabulous wedding, bring the photos with you in Jan, would love to see them! SJ, why don’t you phone up & talk to them, if you can argue your case for how you will benefit from attending, they may bend the rules - got to be worth a try?
To everyone having treatment over xmas, I hope you can enjoy yourselves despite this crappy disease, I’ll be thinking of you.
Here’s to 2012 & a better year for us all
xx
Nat, I plan on having a fab time, still cant believe its happening after having to cancel it 3 times due to this horrid disease! will look forward to meeting you in January. Have a fantastic Christmas. To all the wonderful ladies on this site who have been a life line to me over the last 10 months, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish you all a very happy christmas and a healthy new year. xxxxxxx
Hi, finally getting around to joining forums after telling myself I would for nearly two weeks.
I’m Allie, 39, diagnosed on 30 November this year, awaiting first results Monday and had lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy.Really hope to be able to make the Bournemouth Forum as would be great to meet up with other people dealing with breast cancer.
Read all your comments and wanted to introduce myself as feeling very isolated.People around me offer support but no-one calls to just chat, it’s like there’s a big, pink elephant in the middle of the conversation. (Decided to tackle that one head on and phone them - and NOT to talk about this illness)! Got brochures galore which I’ve half read.
Swing between absolute determination to minimise how this affects my life then get tripped up with post-op fatigue.Most of all, fear losing my independence and then feel like this is happening to someone else and I’m outside watching it and how it’s affecting significant others.
Worried there’s no-one I can say this to and be thought sane or burden people and only realised myself recently what an effect it has had.
Still, daily life goes on and determined to enjoy christmas come what may ! x
Hi Allie,
Know exactly how you feel, i was diagnosed 2 days after you & every day that passes something else seems to hit me & thats usually just when I have thought I am dealing with it ok.
Are you in the Bournemouth area ? would be lovely to meet at Forum if you can make it, dont sit at home & feel isolated as you will find people on here who are a great source of comfort, strengh & friendship whenever you need it 
Take care
Sarah.xxx
Hi Allie,
Please don’t feel isolated this forum is a great way to chat, have a giggle and just be normal!! well as normal as you can be!!
There’s so many of us younger woman that bc hits and I’ve found this site a great way to chat to others in similar position to me and it’s been so helpful I’m sure you will to…,
Big hugs to you
Sarah X

Hi All…
How are you , I hope today has been a good day
Many thanks for your messages, just got on tonight to the website, lovely to have made contact with you all, don’t know why I was nervous.Just going to bed last night knowing there’s lots of us on this site was a real comfort.
Today a good day, as the ad says, ‘Not all about cancer’, friging head space relief.
Really hope to meet up at the Forum end Jan, posting my tenner and form off tomorrow.Even if away am going to try to get back for it as I sense stirrings of a mad bunch of girls on here,(energy permitting).
Hope to get a piccie up on here tomorrow as can see who you are and it’s good to put a face to the typist. Think best to do now before / incase lose my hair.
Take good care,speak soon and love to you all,
Allie xxx

hi I am hoping to make it not sure if i will be up to it as my surgery is on the 4th Jan. And still not sure what i am def having done as ultrasound says 1.7cm and mri says 5cm ??? I also have lymph node involvement.I am 34 years old and have been in complete shock and confusion since dx. I really hope i can make it would be nice to meet some people around the same agexxx
Hi alleycat,
My friend was dx at 34, quite advanced but 4 years on and she’s great so please just think this is just a “blip” in your life. It’s the fear of the unknown and once you’ve had your op it and you get your results you will have a clearer picture of the way forward!
I’m 38 and was dx 25th Sept, I’ve had my op and am
Currently undergoing chemo…
Lots of hugs to you…
Sarah x
