We went to Egypt for the week Delly, it was lovely and relaxing, spent most days freaking the girls out in the spa every time I had to take my bikini top off. I just found myself constantly spurting out “cancer” the poor girls didn’t know what to do! I’ve got my appointment for results on Wednesday so I’ll keep you posted. Fingers crossed for clear margins. I definitely need to get these glutes going after the week I’ve had. Yeah it’s a bummer! Pxxx ... View more

Hi Delly, I still have had no results, my lovely husband took my away for the week to take my mind off things. Now I’m hopeful come Monday they’ll be calling me in again. I must say before I was diagnosed I was the fittest and healthiest person I knew. Ironic! I have to amit I have been a bit lazy this week, my backside is actually aching! I’ll keep you posted.

Hi Ali49, thank you for your lovely message. Wow sounds like you are definitely not going to get bored. I do hope you get back to work in order to get paid. I’m still waiting on those results, but I’m feeling more and more positive, I’m not sure why and it’ll probably change, but for the time being I’d rather this emotion take over. I know I can do this when I read how amazing so many other ladies and gents are. Lots of happy thoughts and Love Piper xxx ... View more

Hi Ann, I’m rather new to this site too. I was diagnosed on 24th Nov 2017. I had a WLE on Dec 8th, then I had another marginal excision on the 4th Jan, as my margins weren’t clear enough. Another gruelling wait for my results. I’m also not working at the moment. I work in a Casino as a supervisor which can be very stressful and cruel at times. Your mind needs to be sharp all the time. Since being diagnosed I can’t think of anything else. I have always wanted to learn to play piano, so that’s what I’m doing. I’ve always put if off in the past, but being diagnosed at 36 years old really changed my attitude towards things I’ve always wanted to do. So now I’m not going to put things off anymore. I too find I’m stronger for others. I cry a lot in the bath. Thank you for sharing, this site I think is really going to help me and all the poor ladies going through this. Piper ... View more

Happy New Year Pisces, Ladybowler, delly & Elaine, I am 36 years young and I found a lump when showering in mid November, I went to GP the very next day and was referred to the beast clinic the week after. After seeing the Mr, having a mammogram, ultrasound and core biopsy. I was told it was probably just hormonal changes because of age etc. So my hubsband and I felt fairly positive. My blood results come fantastic so I really didn’t think anything was wrong. Then on the 24th Nov I got that devasting news that I have BC, I don’t know who was more shocked me or the consultant. On Dec 8th I had a lumpectomy and lymph node removal. Then I got my results on the 3rd of January. The lymph nodes were clear, but I was then told more surgery was needed to get a clearer margin, again I felt like it’d been puntched in the side. So yesterday only one day later I had my marginal surgery. Now I need to wait for another gruelling 2-3 weeks for these results. If they don’t come back clear then my only option is to have a mastectomy. My consultant did say I caught this incredibly early. Sometimes checking every lump and bump that doesn’t feel right pays off. I’m so glad to hear all your stories, it does fill me with hope for the future. PG x ... View more
