DCIS and IDC

Lucia,

It’s been really quick, mr m doesn’t hang about, said he’d refer me about original cyst so I’m back again this Thursday. Was shocked to read you’d gone in on the Monday.

She was the one who said her friend had it ‘pre cancerous cells’ it’s nothing you’ll be ok. Now she’s had a personality transplant lol and trust me I can’t either theres been no filter on my language these last few days.

Blocking it totally makes sense, I do auto pilot or as Helena says automatic.

Glad you’re taking it easy and being careful

Lucia,
Went to hosp today, was a lady today. Checked where the original cyst was and she thinks it muscular rather than from it. Scar healing well, still some fluid but nothing to worry about so think that’s me done with them. Day 1 of 15 on Monday

GOOd luck Angela.

Thanks Lucia, how are you

I am 2weeks today post op.

Doing well… Arm still sore but am doing exercises every day and range of movement is getting better and better not like before but see great improvement.

I am honestly shocked after 2weeks how much I Have come physically i know I am not 100 percent yet but my God didn’t think I would be were i am.

Have been out in Sunday for first time since op

went shopping only for an hour great to start getting out and about

And 3o minute walk .   So that made me feel normal .

 

No letter yet from hospital for results yet. Thought would have heard by now so that is holding me back in a lot of ways feel like I am in limbo it’s effecting me moving on more as I don’t know what the outcome is any treatment needed did they find anything else etc. Was there just dcis. Before operation you are in nerves aniexty etc then got op settled down glad i was over that bit feeling positive .Now I am back to that stage pre operation again waiting on date to get results which effects you trying to get move on  nerves anxiety back.

 

 

How’s treatment going for you. Your on the countdown so p!eased for you.

Can’t believe that’s two weeks gone by from your op, glad you’re doing well and were able to get out for a bit. I guess we surprise ourselves sometimes ?
Pleased youre doing so well.

I thought maybe you’d have got them this week with cons being off last week and totally get all of the anxiety bit. I was anxious waiting on mine but tbh when given them that’s when it hit and reality kicked in. Then came the comments sure it’s away and poof you’re supposed to be normal again lol. Let us know when you hear xx

Day 2 today, I’m ok. My times are all early so yest I was out for 9 and on way home

None of this has really hit home. And I am very mindful of all other posts i have read on here and people i know personally who have to go through tough treatments decisions etc  that I didn’t have to leave you with mixed emotions.

 

God bless.

Hi  Nicola.

I am just over 2 weeks post surgery and I am gaining mire and more strength each day

Been out for walks  bit of shopping seen friends for lunch. It’s amazing how quick u come on  (single masectomy).

Still tired and up and down a bit but doing good.

Will be seeing Mr Mallon in January for next part of treatment be going there a while yet. 

I am doing exercises each day but still a strain I feel in top half of arm hoping that gets easier with time.

 

 

Mr Mallon has been great as have all the staff in the City couldn’t fault them. One of the senior nurses when I was in hospital said he is one if the best. 

So hope that reasures you a bit.

 

I will be having implant at later stage Mr Mallon will start the fills from January.

 

How are you. How have u found things so far.

 

 

Lucia

Hi Pollym,

It’s good to hear from you ? yeah it’s a bit confusing sometimes.
You’ve been through so much! Are they planning to go back in again soon?
I get what you mean regarding your surgeon, mine was straight to the point with me, which my partner maybe found hard but I preferred.

Tomorrow is day 6 radiotherapy and going ok, hope you are recovering well

Hi nicola.

When I was diagnosed i thought u needed special bras from special just shop .

So I went online to a site called nicola Jane bought 2 bras post surgery.

They were expensive one was 42 pound. I didn’t realize u could just get non padded no wire full cup bras.

My sister bought me some in M and s not specific for mastectomy daughter bought me sports s bras that u pull in over head she didn’t think lol

The amount of bras i have lol.The ones from nicola Jane were front opening which made things easier. Bcn was horrified at price lol so was i. Hard to justify price but I found it comfortable  after surgery front opening as the doctors found checking all the time. Normal ful! Cup bras are doing the job now as well as my arm movement improves.

 

Read on here that ladies have bought bras from asda that done the job as well.

 

Angela good to hear all going well .

 

Not long now Nicola wish you all the best.Keep in touch when u can afterwards thinking of you it’s strange Nicola but you actually get a sense of get in get it done.
