Hello, I am a new member and this is the first time I have joined a forum and like most of us facing breast cancer am having good days and bad.
I had surgery 2 weeks ago, the first time in my life I have been in hospital andso am not sure about how realistic my expectations of recovery are. I go today to get the results of the pathology so am keeping everything crossed for good news. Best wishes to everyone in the pink ribbon boat. Elaine56

Hi ladies, I was officially diagnosed on 12th match with Tubular cancer after getting another lump investigated which has turned out to be harmless fat but whilst being ultra sounded they stumbled across a small area which they biopsied and unfortunately turned out to be cancer, I am having it removed this Friday and have like many of you been to hell and back these last few weeks and would never have coped without the support of my family and friends and discussing things with you all on here, it’s a very lonely and surreal place to be but we are all in it together and I’m trying to be thankful mine was found early and by sheer chance but it doesn’t help the fact that I don’t want it to be happening to me at all as I know we all feel,plsass feel free fl message me and chat at any time and I would Truly appreciate the support , love and best wishes to you all xx
