Breast Cancer Now Forum

So agree with lots of the comments on here. At first it was largely disbelief - how can this be happening? I am a healthy person!!. Think you just have to go with it - no right or wrongs in this. Just deal with it in whatever way is right for you ... View more

You were right gazzlyn - not half as bad as I thought - even though they had to do it twice as apparently it moved! ... View more

Hi Lindyloulou, penfold and everyone,   Agree it's all a bit of a roller coaster. One day I'm fine and then I can be a snivelling wreck in the middle of the night when I start imagining the worst! But as most people here seem to say it really does get more manageable once you start getting treatment and you feel like you are moving on. I am trying to see the next few months as a sort of challenge - like it's now my job to get better! There are bound to be bad times and I am sure I won't always be so calm - BUT there is a lot of support here from lots of lovely people and we are all in this club we never wanted to join  - but given that we are in  it I am so glad it exists.   Love to all xxx ...

Hi Pandora,   Sorry don't think I have quite got the hang of this forum yet. Missed your last message till now. Yes I am doing OK. Results due on 25th  Feb so trying hard not to think about it . Wire was very wierd wasn;t it? They had to do 2 for me as first one sprang out or something. Then injection like you which they said wasn't making me radioactive but don't go near any under 5 year olds which made me wonder. How you doing now? I am not thinking of back to work yet as I teach and other people have picked up my classes. If I go in and out it just causes major confusion so think it best to wait until I am clearer about what happens next. And you are right - staying strong important but it isn't always easy!    Love Eileen xx ... View more

Poor old you - you have every right to feel cheesed off! Bad enough to get the first diagnosis without all the rest. Stay positive and hope the rant helped! Love Eileen xx ... View more

OK - not as bad as I thought - felt very weird having 2 long wires poking out of my breast - first one not in the right place apparently! Was home by 6 the same day and now being a bit lazy and spoilt. xx ... View more

Hi sentangelo I guess it is a group we would all prefer not to be in - but like you say everyone here supportive and there is always someone who knows what you are going through. Good luck! ... View more

Hi Judi. Stay in and spoil yourself - no need to move. I am off for my pre-op assessments today. No doubt lots of hanging about. But at least I feel I'm getting on with it now. You enjoy your lazy day. Love Eileen ... View more
