hi had results today from mri shows no signs of cancer in left breast but unfortunately the lump that was felt in my right breast is larger than first thought 4cm and also another one shown up that is only mm. Double mastectomy next weds with recon so wish me luck as i have not met my onc yet so do not know till then what other treatment he will suggest. mri shows no node involvement but having total nodes clearance during operation so who knows?

Good luck. Hope all goes well for surgery. I had mastectomey and recon in june (TRAM flap) went really well and now on chemo.
Recon breast looks really good. Had a wedding 3 weeks ago and wore a low silk top and my cleavage was as good as ever.
Take care and stay positive.

Hi Sandy,
I’m so sorry you’ve had to join us but I wanted to welcome you to this most awesome site.
I wish you well for your op tomorrow, and I hope you have a very speedy recovery. I was diagnosed in March, age 34, and had a right mastectomy and total axillary clearance a wek after diagnosis.
The op was really nowhere near as bad as I had imagined it would be. I hope yours goes really well too. Be sure to do your post-op exercises!!
Take care and be sure to let us know how you get on,
Kelly

hiyah, hope all goes well for your op ,i had left mastectomy for lobular last oct followed bt chemo and rads, the op was a lot easier to cope with than the chemo, i was discharged within 2 days and was able to potter around at home being waited on by family, the thought is often worse than the reality and everyone is differant , just remember to rest up as much as possible, whishing you well love lynn xx
thanks for all your positive comments just going to see onc before my op tomorrow will let you know how i get on
Love sandra XXXX
