How did your op go? Hope you are feeling ok. It’s so difficult not knowing what the plan is. The mind plays tricks on you all day and all night. So tiring
Hiker50 I started counselling with Macmillan last week, and had my first chat with ‘Someone like me’ via Breast Cancer Now last week too. Both really helped. I’m having 5 more counselling sessions and my volunteer from BCN is calling next Monday again for a pre surgery chat. I’m so grateful this support is available.
The waiting is torture so I really feel for you.
I have counselling the week before my op through a local charity.
Really not “feeling” Christmas this year. The next appts are all I can think of.
I’d be climbing the walls if had had to wait so long for a treatment plan
I hope the counselling is helpful to you xx
I’m so upset and even more anxious than I previously was…if that’s even possible!
Got to the hospital for 7.30am
Paperwork completed gown and stocking ready to go.
Went for Radio-active injection and then
it was cancelled!
Surgeon was Ill and had to go home.
At least 3 of us that I know of went home.
Nurse couldn’t rebook another surgery date as it all depends on surgeon.
I’m devastated! I was so mentally prepared for today and feel like I’ve hit a brick wall.
I’m worried it’ll spread, I’m worried about Xmas, I’m worried about my mental health, I’m worried about my children and husband, I’m worried I’m going to be a bloody Nightmare!
I’m going to phone the BCN and see if any other hospital can fit me in….I’m just in limbo xxx
Oh, no, that’s horrendous I really feel for you as you’ll have been psyched up for it. I hope it is not too long until it’s rescheduled.
I’m staying home alone for Xmas as just don’t feel up to it xx
Hi casey4jc
Both op’s have been okay although I’ve got a seroma this time around, hoping it will disburse on its own and not need to be drained. I’m trying to be positive but it’s so mentally exhausting, I’m starting to find I just want to hide away in the house
with the dogs. Sometimes it comes over me in a wave that I can’t really believe this is happening and that I’ve really got it as I feel physically fine.
Sending hugs

Initially my treatment plan was a lumpectomy & snlb and would be hormone treatment and radiotherapy. Unfortunately it was found it the two nodes they removed so had to have a full clearance, now awaiting those results. I just hope I get better news at my next appointment
That is horrendous as others have said, I really sympathise with how you must be feeling. Have you managed to get hold of your bcn to try and get another date today or some support for the way you are feeling now this has happened?
Oh no I’m so sorry - don’t know what else to say really except that I hope you get a date soon . I think you will probably hear something in the next day or two .
Just spoke to BC nurse, after harassing her for a definite date.
They have booked me in for the 19th of December for surgery.
I can breathe again! I’m going to go back to work to speed up the wait.
I just want rid of this Shi*@y Titty!!!

Hello. I know it comes as a shock but you will cope. It’s amazing that we all find the strength to carry on. Family and friends can be an amazing support network. Try to remain positive and you will get through this as we all will. Take care and look after yourself. Hope you enjoy your Christmas party
So glad they have managed to book you in again before Xmas. What a horrible experience for you I had my lumpectomy 3 days ago and I would be fine if Xmas day was tomorrow so hopefully you will be able to enjoy your Xmas fully and you will be feeling so much better knowing it has been removed and you are one step forward in your treatment.
Hope everything goes smoothly next week and you have a fabulous Christmas with your family xxx
I’m glad to hear you are healing well.
It must help mentally to know “it’s gone”
Good luck with your results day.
It’s so strange as I have moments where I forget I’ve actually been diagnosed, as I have been busy shopping or working and then when I remember it hits me hard.
I feel I’m more angry and this is such an inconvenience, if you know what I mean.
I have my work Xmas do tonight and it’s a rule that know one talks about it tonight.
I really do not want to be consumed by this “challenge” in my life.
Xmas is definitely a challenging time with something like this but it is also a good distraction, I am sure the waiting would be even worse at a normal time of year. Glad to hear you have a party to go to tonight, have a fab time, try to forget about all this crap and then look forward to getting your surgery done and enjoying Xmas. I am trying not to get too hung up on results day, well nothing like waiting for my last lab results or MRI cos that nearly sent me round the bend! Stay positive and wishing you a very quick recovery from your surgery and a lovely Xmas xxx
I’m feeling anxious about tomorrow but I also want to get it over with so I can move on to the next stage.
Broke up from work today for Xmas (school) and on the Wednesday we are going for a Xmas trip to see Santa at a local farm. (They have lovely cake )
I’m hoping that I can go along to show my face and eat cake…
I’m not planning to be in pain
I had my lumpectomy 3 days ago and I would be fine if Xmas day was tomorrow so hopefully you will be able to enjoy your Xmas fully and you will be feeling so much better knowing it has been removed and you are one step forward in your treatment.
