I have no idea how far I walk in an average day but nowhere near 8 miles.
Hi Tuesday
Yes, you can uncross your fingers and legs!
Back home this morning having fainted yesterday while they were putting the guide wire in, or rather just as they finished.However, when they took the check mamogram they had not hit the spot - it was only 6mm - so had to remove it and do it all again!!! My excuse for fainting is that I am a grazer and usually eat every 2-3 hours and had missed breakfast, elevenses and lunch!!!
Then to theatre at 3.30 and then back on the ward later. Not too painfull - I only had paracetmol post op and have been working my arm and got 100% from my BC nurse this morning for having full range!!
Am being good (for the moment) and being waited on by my OH.
Angela
You sound good! I am very impressed and wish you all the best for a quick and full recovery.
Love

Keeping positive!!
Results next wednesday 6th August - bottle of champagne in the fridge to celebrate or commiserate next week!!
Angela
My results were so mixed (grade 1 but lymph node involvement, small tumour but needs re-excision) that I didn’t know whether I was celebrating or drowning my sorrows so I just drank too much white wine - I am on the wagon and the Jane Plant diet now. Keeping everything crossed for you Angela.

Hi there
I too am waiting for results on 6th August having had WLE and wire guide on 28th July .
Strangely they had 2 attempts at putting my wire in as there appear to be a mass that they kept hitting. Really hurt the first time but hardly noticed the second
I too am being positive but having expected to just have check ups after first biopsy am keeping options open 
Franj
Thanks. I tend to hit the red wine!
Hi everyone,it seems as though this is a big week for a few of us,get my results on tues 5th aug.you all seem to be talking about this wire,i dont remember this,they marked me up from a ultra sound 10mins before my opp,so they must have done it while i was under.Hope it all goes well for everyone.x

Hi all
Hi Kitty, I am sorry I didn’t get back to you till now, not been on the site for a while. Thanks for your encouraging words about your sisterinlaw How did you get on with your Old boss, New Boss, OH and the coffee shop?
I had some good news, Only the 1 node in the 7 they took the first time had cancer, it wasnt in any of the nodes taken at the ‘clearance’ so hopefully they have got it! going to see the Onc next Wednesday for the first time to discuss chemo plan, bit nervous and not looking forward to it, probably going to start the following week. I have decided to try the cold cap and see what its like. nothing to loose a? except my hair hee hee! Goin to go to work next week (I work part time in an office, 3 days), got to make some money up. I’m hoping to work inbetween treatments but will have to wait and see, I get quite sick with some medications so only time will tell. I did go to work inbetween the two ops but was exhausted after 2 days, not really a wimp!!! Haven’t felt up to much excercise at the moment but will be getting weight off and doing a lot more as soon as I can. moonwalking definately out though!! Arthur wont let me (Arthrightis I mean) am in a table tennis team (thats proper table tennis, not ping pong!!!) so will be going back to that ASAP. Celebrated my 15th (second time round) wedding anniversary on Wednesday, went out for a romantic itallian meal.
Angela congrats on your news, hope you enjoyed your Champagne,
Hope everyone’s results were good.
Positive thoughts and Cyber hugs to all
Love Laurel x
Hi Everybody - does anyone know how Peppery got on? Can not seem to find any posting re her results? I usually post on Confusing Diagnosis and would like news!
Love Tuesday xxx
Appointment with oncologist this pm - fingers crossed!!
Angela
PS computer playing up at home so using library at the moment - internet should be back on on thursday - hopefully!
hey Angela
Woohoo re your results, that’s great. OK granted “there was no cancer” would be better but that’s pretty damn good I think.
Good luck with the onc this afternoon and getting your internet back (I had to live without the net for 3 weeks, I was ok for the first 2 but then I got *edgy*, mind you I live and work online).
Angie
Back on line!!!
15 sessions of rads - tatoo date 18th, as I am joining the rads trial and need ultasound scan etc first of all, so tht they can find where my lump was!! Hopefully I should have 4 titanium arrow heads in my left boob somewhere!!
Hi,
I am new to this site and wanted to share where I am at.
I was diagnosed with a 22mm lump just behind my left nipple on the 18th August and told its a low grade, grade 1 I think. I have had a lump there for over 3 and a half years and when I had it checked out then I was told it was a breast mouse. Its started to change the shape of my breast in the last couple of months so I went back to have it checked in August to be told that I have cancer. I have been told that they didn’t misdiagnose my mouse 3 and a half years ago and that the cancer may have been behind the mouse or have developed since. Strangely though I have always wondered since that time whether they were sure or not as when I had the core biopsy 3 and a half years ago they didn’t guide the gun with ultra sound but they did this time.
I have been told I have to have a mastectomy as its so close to my nipple and am going to see the breast care nurses tomorrow to talk about reconstruction and look at pictures (I have opted for reconstruction at the same time as the surgery as I think I will cope better waking up with something rather than nothing) and am going to see the surgeon on Weds and will hopefully get a date for the op then. I have no idea at this stage whether I will need chemo or rads or anything else.
I have told everyone at work and only had two weeks off afterwards to get my head around it. Work have been fantastic and bent over backwards to be supportive. I am a policewoman and want to carry on with my front line duties as long as I can as I am dreading being stuck in a office after surgery. I just want everything to stay the same and am not looking forward to all the changes I have to face. I am not scared of dying but scared of the scarring, lack of nipple, effects of chemo should I need it - loss of hair (I have suffered alopecia intermittently over the last 10 years and struggle with the bald spots so total hair loss freaks me out), early menopause and affect on my sexuality (I am only 39). The only time I have shed more than a tear or two since my diagnosis has been whilst being intimate with my husband!
I am very lucky to have a friend who is surviving breast cancer and is coming to the hospital with me tomorrow and Weds as my hubby has had to go away.
Well thats me. I thought I didn’t need more support but having read some of the posts on this site and having written it all down I think that I might and hope that you wont all run away from me for spilling everything at the first post!
Hi Ostrich
Welcome to the Breast Cancer Care discussion forums. I wondered if you may find BCC’s resource pack helpful, it has been designed for those newly diagnosed. If you would like a copy just follow the link below:
breastcancercare.org.uk//content.php?page_id=7514
We have also published a booklet about breast reconstruction which you may find helpful to read, here’s the link:
breastcancercare.org.uk/content.php?page_id=663
If you would like to talk about your diagnosis and feel you need to talk to someone in confidence then please give the helpline a call, the staff here are all either breast care nurses or people who have personal experience of breast care issues and are happy to just lend a listening ear and can offer valuable advice and support if neeeded. The number to call is 0808 800 6000 the lines open Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm and Saturdays 9am - 2pm.
I hope this is of some help to you.
Kind regards
Lucy
