Breast Cancer Now Forum

Dear Karoo, My brave lady, I wish you well what ever road you decide to take. i have had breast cancer twice first the right side with a mastectomy and drugs, did have a few problems with my reconstruction, however fine now, second time in the left breast had a lumpectomy, radiotherapy and drugs. For me the second time around was far easier, day surgery followed by 15 rounds of radiotherapy, (understand this had been cut to 5 sessions) recovery was much quicker and less stressful. Hope you get some good advise from your breast cancer nurse, thinking of you, keep posting and let us know how your doing hugs Tili 🙏 🌈 🙏 🌈   ... View more

Hello Rosita Thank you for asking, all went very well today, lovely GP hadn’t seen her before checked me over no lumps, thinking this was a healing issue, I should contact my breast cancer team if things don’t improve in the next couple of weeks.

Dear Helen, You are definitely on the right site, with some lovely ladies all going through the same as you, for me when I was first diagnosed I was so negative,  you can’t believe it’s happened to you. Waiting for appointments, a treatment plan, all goes with breast cancer which is a waiting game we could all do without. however my famous words is One Day at a Time it will all fall into place, hopefully very soon. Thinking of you, wishing you well with your treatment. big hugs Tili 🌈 🙏 🌈 🙏         ... View more
