Hi had lumpectomy on 4th Sept. All was going well, wound healed very well. Then the blow hit me, at next clinic when I was told that I now needed a mastectomy which is being done tomorrow. Dont really know howto feel, know that I hve to get rid of the cancer and have to have Iit done, but wish I had seen this coming. Anyone else experienced this at all?
Hi KK, Good luck today! I’m sorry to hear you have to have more surgery. I hope the surgery goes well and you recover quickly. I didn’t have the same as you, but just wanted to send support.
good luck with everything and hope to hear from you soon:)

Hi kk sorry to hear that , I had to have a second op to get clear margins , I was very upset so I can imagine an inkling of how you are feeling . Hard as it is the over riding outcome is so you will be free of the nasty thing . Very best wishes xx
Hi kk
Hope your op went well and you’re feeling comfortable.
Unfortunately, I found, during this journey things often seem to appear out of the blue and knock us sideways. It’s often the case that treatment plans seem to grow and grow. My initial plan was MX, reconstruction and hormone therapy. Suddenly ANC got thrown into the mix and then chemo raised its ugly head. Unfortunately this sort of thing is pretty common. The mammograms, scans and biopsies can only give a good indication of what they’re looking at but the full picture isn’t revealed until they actually get in there.
It takes a lot out of you, emotionally, coming to terms with what’s happening to your body and to keep having to readjust to the new situation. Yet again you have to get your head around what’s been suddenly thrown into the mix can which has come as a shock. It’s not easy.
Gentle hugs xx
Great that you are home kk . I’m finding that my husband is improving as time goes on with the chores etc . Initially he offered me the dogs bath towel after my first post surgery shower … Bet I can guess the conversational exchange after that !!! Xx
Hi 1 week on. Good days and bad days. Most of the time ok but yesterday was depressed and I dont know why? Has anyone else had days like this? Thought I would feel a bit brighter a week on, but dont actually feel like doing anything apart from reading and watching dvd’s. Dont have any enthusiasm to do anything but know I should be slowly building up my strength. I must admit I havent felt like doing many exercises as my drain has only just come out so just need to get into gear and crack on.
