Hi, I just wanted to post in the hope writing it down will make me feel better and I know you will all understand. I had surgery 4 weeks ago (WLE with therapeutic mammoplasty & node clearance) and tomorrow I see my surgeon for the pathology results. I’m more nervous about this than any other appointment I think! Before surgery I was quite positive and matter of fact about it all and I thought I’d processed it but in retrospect I hadn’t. It wasn’t until I’ve been recovering these last few weeks that I’ve really fully understood I have cancer. Seems silly I know but it took being cut open for it to become a reality for me. Recovery from surgery has gone well but it’s harder than I expected. I’m nervous about what comes next and how everything is so exhausting, the treatments but also how mentally exhausting it all is. I’m lucky to have a good supportive family and friends but it’s hard to see what it’s doing to them too. My appointment is 8.30am tomorrow! So at least I don’t have to wait all day.
Thanks for reading x
Hi @twinks77 I know exactly how you feel. Everything you say above - I feel the same. I had similar surgery WLE and full node clearance just over 3 weeks ago and have my follow up in a week. It suddenly all seems real and like you getting anxious what is coming next. Am expecting chemo followed by radiotherapy not least as I just got another appointment to see oncologist the day after my follow up. For some reason getting that appointment made it feel real. Hope it all goes well tomorrow. 
Hi @twinks77
It is exhausting surgery / recovery but all the time your thinking about what comes next it is hard , but I felt relieved once results was in , I knew what was coming next so could process it , I’m nearly 3 years down the line now , had mastectomy right breast had no option in the end full node clearance , I’m getting there recovery better than I thought it would be I am waiting for reduction other side , did have implant but that didn’t work out infection etc what ever your outcome you will deal with stay strong xxx
Just wanted to say best of luck today. Whatever happens you will get there and we are all here to offer love and support. x
Good luck with your appointment today @twinks77 .
Thanks everyone. Went to the appointment but the results weren’t back yet! But the consultant checked the wound which is healing well so that’s something. I have a telephone appointment next week for the results now. More waiting 
How frustrating !!!
Hi, I also have an appointment tomorrow to get the pathology results after my lumpectomy and SNB three weeks ago. Having read so many of the amazing posts on this forum, everyone seems to be so knowledgeable about their breast cancer and I feel I know nothing about mine! I’m hoping to get some answers tomorrow but there seem to be so many options for further treatment and knowing this just fuels my anxiety for what’s ahead of me. I’ve been very lucky in that I’ve recovered very well from the surgery and, thankfully, have had no side-effects whatsoever from Letrizole…….so far! I’m hoping that this all bodes well for my results tomorrow but I am SO nervous 
I’ve been greatly encouraged by many of the posts on the forum and there are many brave people who have had awful experiences but coped with them with great courage. Lots of good wishes to everyone 
Hope it goes well for you tomorrow
