Hi every1. I am going for my results from my operation today. I dont know how i feel. I was very positive yesterday and had a gr8 day with family keeping them all positive as i feel that way. I keep thinking the Radiotherapy will be the easier side of things compared to what ive came through but i think im in some sort of denial about it all. About everything. Im sorry you had that bad day Belle5. I hope you are feeling better. We can only take 1 day at a time i suppose and hope tomorrow brings a better day....xxxx ... View more

Thankyou Lizzy_BCC .. I think i will call the helpline. Just even to go through with someone whats happening and if i should get the wound checked again or even just to speak. Its been a lot to take in within 1month. I will not get my proper results till next Tues from the operation and will need to take things from there. Kindest Regards... ... View more

Thanku for your reply Jobey68... yes i meant 1.8cm sorry. I will need to try and calm dkwn as getting myself in a state. I removed my sterile plaster last night as had been at the hospital during the day having it checked for infection and quite red in both areas and weeping a lot but got told it was ok. It had filled a gd bit and i wanted to clean it again and put a fresh dressing on but i near passed out ( im not squeamish ) after it and had to be sick. Im getting so freaked out justnow. Is it ok for your wound to be slightly red all round it and weeping? There is also a fungal type smell. My temp is ok though. My app is next tues so i will try and forget about size etc grade stage till i know more. All i know justnow is if the lymph is ok i have to get radio in July and be put on Tamoxifen for 5 years so thats the next hurdle. ☺ ... View more

Hi there... i have just signed up as a neighbour was telling me about this forum and now cant sleep. I just had my lump removed 5days ago and now after reading some threads i do not know enough about what is going on with myself. All i have been told is my lump was 1.8mm and stage 1. I am waiting now on the results from my lymph nodes that where removed but thats not for 1more week yet. When i got iagnised less than 1month ago my lump was only 6mm and had tripled in size in a short space of time which is worrying. Iv been very positive until now but feel it is just hitting me what has happened so far. My wound is weeping and the doctor said it was ok. He told me id have a drain put in but i didnt with no explanation. I also had a reaction to the dye during the operation which sent them into panick as it only happens to 1 in 10.000 and got kept in overnight for but thats ok now. I will need to ask more questions now and try get my head round it. 1 good day jstnow 1 bad. Very emotional.... any help is appreciated.. ... View more
