Sorry you’ve been side blinded, it’s gonna take a while to get your head around it all - I can’t imagine how screwed your head is, I was told I needed the whole lot (apart from Herceptin) from the beginning so had time to get head into gear before my surgery commenced…
There’s nothing I can say to help you get your head around it currently, so I’m sending you massive hugs and an effigy of your surgical team for you to stick pins in for not saying it could be a possibility for you…
Much love and keep on ranting, we’re here for you hun.
I am off to the hospital today 2:30 to also find out if my margins are clear and find out whats next. I will let you know SGL if this seems to be a similar practice for myself. xx
Results… Lymph Nodes clear, but the lump removed had cancer on the perimeter, the margins were not clear on 3 sections… so back for 2nd WLE in August. xx
I also got my lumpectomy results 2weeks ago and my margins also not clear. Not invasive and going back in 4 weeks since last op (this Friday) for another op. Hoping clear this time. Hoping I heal well but still have lots of bruising and a hard lump inside from scar tissue or something. In fact I dont like touching it. Scar still tender but all scab dropped off. I got a lot of blisters from the plasters and in fact they have left quite bad marks on breast but no doubt will fade.
Please keep posting how you get on with second op.
Take care, Mell
PS Bit scared as I want to go on holiday 12 Aug with family and also dreading starting all over again when just beginning to feel well again.Plus what if margins arent clear this time?
hi, people say the second op heals up quite well. the only problem is going to be the temptation to run round buying things and packing for your hols when you are supposed to be resting. Have you checked with your surgical team about flying??? I was going to go on hols two weeks after op and they were not happy about it, also they wanted to make sure about medical insurance. Mind you when we were discussing it no-one knew if the nodes were coming out, perhaps the more serious op would have given cause for concern.
Anyway fingers crossed for your results for clear margins this time
hope slg is feeling better.i have been great but feeling a bit fragile at the moment oncologist appt tomorrow-mellc-i have a hard lump too but like when you have a tooth with a rough edge and you keep feeling it with your tongue(or is that only me lol )-i keep feeling it-hope it doesn’t become a habit !!! stella x
