Back at home after having WLE 11.8.09 Feel very well really,Apart from emotionally were I still think that the whole cancer thing is happening to someone else.
Welcome back, Jellylegs! You are describing exactly how I felt… it happening to someone else. I think it’s a mechanism for getting through it all, but I’m exploring that now that I’m a bit further down the road.
Don’t forget to do the exercises - you’ll be glad you did when you come to have the rads!
well done !!
Great glad thats one hurdel over.
Deffinately do the excercises, but dont overdo, initally if I didnt boy did I know about it.
Take care and look after yourself.

Well done jellylegs (what a great name sums up how most feel I’m sure!) I’m hoping to be in the same position within the next week or so as seeing surgeon Mon to get date for op, diagnosed on 4 August Also feel like this happening to someone else…ME surely not. I feel that the way to try and deal with his is to face each step as it comes. Hope you continue to recover well.

Hi Laurasue,I must admit it is the waiting that gets to you,then you think…Oh god only one day left!!!Then its over and you do feel a sence of relief. Have you got your front opening PJ’s and comfy bra from Asda (Cotton post surgery bra £6) its really soft but I had to go up 2 sizes to make it really comfy!! I’m a 34e normally had to have a 38 d to feel comfy and not tight.
All the luck in the world to you,please come back and tell us how you have got on.Gentle hugs from me to you, Jellylegs
Well done Jellylegs, fingers crossed for results
Hello Laurasue, sorry you had to join us. The waiting’s the worst. Good luck with the op and results.
gentle ((hug)) to you both.
take care

Hi Jellylegs and everyone,
This is my frst post and I have been tempted to post as I came home from hospital on the 12th of August too after a lumpectomy. I only came on ths site yesterday, although I knew about it I had decided not to come on and read stuff as I was still hoping that I would wake up from the nightmare that made me think I had BC! But I realised yesterday that I couldn’t possibly be having the same nightmare for nearly 6 weeks so I guess it was time to start to come to terms with this horror, so here I am! Jellylegs, I love your name by the way, it so could be mine too!, I had my op on the 11th of Aug, and I guess yours was around the same time. I was hoping we may be able to keep each other company a bit if that’s ok? I have learnt so much stuff from just reading posts too, I am glad I have found you all, but really wish I hadn’t needed too!
I hope everyone feels positive this evening - I am sure it helps

Ps sorry for butting in on your thread! Hope its ok!? x
Hi Jellylegs, Hope things are going ok for you, have you had your results yet? I am going in this Tues 25th for WLE and sentinel node biopsy. Have to have a wire inserted as my tumor, quite small they think, was found on mammo as no lump as such, so bit of a shock. Will be in touch when I’m done and dusted to report on how it went, then onto the dreaded wait for results. I really cant believe this whole horrible thing has happened I sort of live in denial a lot of the time and then the shocking reality of bc creeps back in. Keep thinking of all the ladies I know of or are in the public eye who have gone through this and are years away from their original dx and living normal lives, then there are others who did not fare so well. Sorry, trying to be positive but sometimes its so hard. Just having a teary day today.
Take care gentle hugs back to you xx
