Hello all. It is good to catch up with you all on here. It feels like we are old friends even though we haven't met! It's good to hear that most of you are well on the way to the end of treatment - what an adventure this year has been! We all need to pamper ourselves when all this is over - a relaxing holiday and meals that we can actually taste when our taste buds return. Give ourselves time to rest and recuperate because we have been through a lot! I was pleased that I felt well enough to enjoy my daughter's wedding at the weekend - together with painted on wunderbrow eyebrows and wig! My surgeon and oncologist were both very pleased with the results of my treatment and I am in the process of being referred on for radiotherapy- possibly starting at the end of August for 3 weeks. Leyla - hope your op goes well on the 10th. I had a lumpectomy and it wasn't too sore afterwards. The bit that was worse was the sentinel node biopsy as the wound under my arm meant I couldn't move my arm much. I would suggest taking in pjs and tops with buttons down the front - nothing that needs to go over your head! Don't try stretching it too much or lifting anything heavy for a while. Also my surgeon gave me a frontfastening sports bra to wear post surgery which really helped and I even slept in it. It kept the wound still so that it didn't pull on the scar. Well, all the best to everyone- wishing everyone good results and good outcomes and a healthy future xx
