Really struggling with everything today. Feel tired, upset and very emotional. Couldn’t sleep worry about my furture. The wait for SNB is getting to me. How do you stay strong when you are so worried. :-((
Want to give you a big hug Hay123. Stay strong I am just leaving for the hospital to have My SNB so will chat again tomorrow. I am so nervous, but once this bit is over I know I will then be just like you panicking about the next bit…the results. When do you get the results and how? By telephone? Be brave big hug xxxxxxx
Hi, I was diagnosed with BC in 2009, when my son was 17 months old. I had first discovered a lump when I stopped breast feeding him, when he was a year, but it took 5 months to get it correctly diagnosed. By then it was 11cm and I had to have a mastectomy. Three years on and I was so lucky to have had a beautiful baby girl, who despite my consultant saying I may manage a few weeks, I breastfed for a year, through mastitus and with one boob! I just stopped on her birthday a couple of weeks ago and I find I have been feeling really frightened ever since. I am sure it is because this was the time it was found and also, my breast is looking a bit dimpled which I think is the result of so much breastfeeding, but still I feel scared and a bit blue. I know it’s a long shot but is anyone in a similar situation? Or does anyone know of any groups of younger women (with kids?) that meet up in the manchester area?
Sorry I didn’t mean to post my earlier comment in response to the above, as I know it’s not relevant, but I can’t find how to remove/move it! Best wishes to Hay123, surround yourself with the kind of friends you don’t have to try with xx
Thanks cheryl, hope you got on ok today with you SNB, rest up and take it easy.xx
my results take 2 weeks, which is a awful long time to wait
Waiting is the worse babes. Now two years since dx and I still worry every day. Be kind to yourself and stay strong x
