Hi Paula - I had my WLE at Worthing 2 weeks ago, but have to go to EastGrinsted in July for mastectomy and reconstruction. All a bit of a shock as I only found out yesterday
Hi Paula, Becks, Scarlett and Jenny
I am too a West Sussex lady. Jenny - I have only heard all good about Queen Victoria Hospital - they are a centre of excellence regarding plastic surgery. I had immediate recon using LD flap - and I am very pleased with it. Hoping once all my treatment is finished can have a nipple and tatoo doing.
Where did you all have your surgery.chemo and rads - my surgery was East Surrey Hospital - who were absolutely fab - chemo also East Surrey again absolutely fab and rads Guildford - again staff great - just the travelling was a pain.
Please take care, love

Hi Jenny
Just to second what Anne said that Queen Victoria has an excellent reputation.
Anne- I am having chemo and then rads at Brighton. About 40mins from where I live so wont be looking forward to doing that one everyday for rads…!!
Anyway I see you have finished all treatment now, excellent how are you feeling?
Love P xxx
its good to hear that I will be in safe hands - thank you for that info!! everyone on here seems so brave - I am totally petrified…
I was petrified but can honestly say its not that bad…sorry not sure what you have been diagnosed with Jenny??
Hi
It definetly is more doable than I ever imagined.
The journey to Guildford used to take me between 45mins and an hour depending on the M25 (bloody hate that road now!). All in all I was gone 3 hours - a walk in the park compared to chemo - but just a pain because of the travelling and towards the end did feel very tired. (Did have 2 out of 30 sessions where 1 just made it in time, other 90 minutes late - due to accidents and roads being closed - so I suppose not bad - bit of pain when had to be back for 12md for pre-school pick-up - luckily some very good friends would take him home if I had not appeared on time - they were an absolute god send - if nothing else this dreadful BC has shown me who my friends really are)
I feel good thanks - just a bit overwhelmed that I actually made it this far but now what happens next? Seeing Onc Thurs - so hopefully he will help answer some questions.
Paula - how far are you into your chemo? I am still suffering chemo brain and last one was end of Feb!
Please take care, love
