Haha no probs! We booked on Saturday with MIL there, and she’s sooo excited! It’s abroad so she has a week long holiday to look forward to as well as the actual wedding.
Fingers crossed for Thursday now xx
Well, results on the lymph nodes seems to be ok, but they’re testing more to be sure - is that normal practice? Lumpectomy tomorrow. xx
Hi angiem How was the wedding? It was my son’s wedding on the same day as your son! We had a fantastic day . I couldn’t believe how perfect it was …the sun even came out and stayed out. I have a re-excision on Wed 27th followed by radiotherapy when healed. What a year!
Well she’s had some great news - she’s had the lump removed and the main lymph node removed…and it hadn’t spread to the lymph nodes when tested.
Still some radiotherapy to zap some bad cells that were left, but hopefully all is ok! So happy!
Thank you all for your support, I’ve still been reading lots of posts, and now that I’ve had a (very) little bit of experience, I will continue to visit and try to support others the way they’ve supported me.
xx
thats great news!! I am in the middle of radiotherapy and apart from the time it takes it is not at all unpleasant.
Make sure she knows how many hours it is going to take out of her day and ask her what she is going to stop doing each day to compensate. some people, especially those who work or have young families try to fit it all in, but if you can just relax and make rooom for it you are less likely to get tired.
