Re: Surgery next week

@siag 

You are having lumpectomy, you should get recovered faster than mine. Sorry to hear that you are losing nipple and areola, which must be a decision from the surgeon to prevent it’s coming back in the future. Good luck to ourselves. Stay positive

Re: Surgery next week

I’m having a sentinel node biopsy too, and was told i would be losing my nipple and areola also,  which was a shock. My goal has been surgery for 6 long weeks but with feeling so well and energetic, I’m so worried that things will change after surgery and that this will consume my life for a long time and expecting to be unwell. I must keep positive and push on… one day at a time as I read on the forum by members. Thoughts are with you all  👍🏻 xx

Hi Angela1234

Sending a virtual hug, you will be fine.  I had right mastectomy with lymph nodes removal 10 days ago. I'm still waiting for results from surgery to see what other treatment I shall be getting. It can be scary but there are lots of lovely people on here with lots of advice if you need it.  Wishing you well for the 7th. 💕

Thought to start this thread to support ourselves who will be having the surgery in Dec. 

I’m having my left mastectomy plus sentinel nodes removal Wednesday the 7th Dec.
