Hello Lynne
I am so happy for you, and everything went well, at least it’s done and before summer, just take things easy.
It’s lovely that your Husband is caring for you, my Husband is the same he is doing mostly everything at the moment, as I have difficulty seeing out of one eye, with the bells Pulsey, but it’s improving slowly.
We have been married for 64 years in July, and I wouldn’t change a thing, we have three children and we love our family Grandchildren and great grandchildren,
Next Thursday I am having my leg sorted with a skin graft, once that takes I can then have the breast cancer surgery, so hopefully very soon.
Look after yourself and take things easy.
Best Wishes
Ann

Oh - thank you Ann. I had the drainage tube taken out today by the district nurse, so that’s a step in the right direction. Also heard today that my ‘results’ appt is on
14 March, so will know what treatment I will be having.
Good Luck with your skin graft and then your upcoming surgery…it sounds as though you have lots of family support, as do I. We have four sons, and six grandchildren. We live in Suffolk and our sons are spread far and wide, but thanks to modern technology we have FaceTime and we see/speak to our sons every day at the moment. Like you, I’m thankful for what we have and consider myself very fortunate. Our anniversary is in May, so by then I’m hoping we will be able to do something to celebrate!
Sending you a virtual hug….take care. Lynne xx
Hi - am late to this thread as I’ve only just joined BCN (diagnosed with DCIS a couple of weeks ago). Just wanted to share that my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer age 84. Afraid I don’t know more detail of her diagnosis (stage, grade), but she seemed to deal with it incredibly well. She was back to her v busy social life within (am guessing from memory) around 6 months and still with us with no further problems (still busy) five years later. Gives some comfort to me (not yet 60) - thought it might to you too.

Hello Iola
Thank you so much, this helps me a lot, I am 81 was diagnosed on Jan 24th 2024, I have a IDC, I have two tumors attached one is 44mm and the other is 17mm, I have not had surgery yet, but am on tablets to shrink the lump and stop me making any oestrogen, as my type of cancer feeds off it.
I have had other problems hense the delay in surgery, I have a squamous cell carcinoma on my leg, it has to be cut out with a skin graft, supposed to be today but it got cancelled, skin graft surgeon is ill, I also had Bells Pulsey and have been on 10 days of steroids, any any surgery doesn’t heal so until I have been off them for a while no surgery.
I am so sorry to hear you also have breast cancer, it does come as a shock.
Please keep in touch.
Best Wishes Ann
Sorry put the wrong date for being diagnosed, it was the 19th Jan
