@DiKat wrote: Hi Sarah Pleased your surgery went well. Hope you’re at home resting now. How long will it be before you get results, it’s about 3 weeks at my hospital. Take care xx Hi DiKat Hopefully results next Weds when I see the surgeon again. Back home today (woohoo!) and trying to take it easy. Under arm is quite bruised and sore but rest seems OK.  Good luck for your next steps 🌸   ... View more

Hi all   just a quick update from my hospital bed. Lumpectomy and SNB went well today. Surgeon was pleased so I take that as a positive sign! In some mild pain and discomfort, mainly under my arm. I have a drip and 1 drain so am staying in tonight and possibly tomorrow (although I really really want to be at home!) not seen the breast scar yet, just the bruising on my upper arm.  1 big step closer today. Now another wait to see if margins and SN are good.  Good luck to all you ladies booked for surgery in next weeks. We can do this! hugs to you all Sarah  x ... View more

Hi Melanie   my surgery is 30th April, lumpectomy and SNB. Next treatment will be decided after they’ve checked the lymph nodes. I have grade 2 IDC Hormone positive.    Would be good to share experiences. I live in Switzerland so my surgery will be here, 1-2 night stay here even for lumpectomy!   good luck with your treatment, the waiting is the hardest isn’t it?   hugs Sarah ... View more

WLE + SNB Surgery 30th April - what to expect

Hi ladies   So yesterday I had 1.1cm  Grade 2 IDC confirmed, ER and PR +.    Lumpectomy and SNB is scheduled for 30th and then depending on results will be Chemo and Rads or just rads.    Im looking for an idea of what to expect from the surgery. I’ve been asked to go the afternoon before for the node markers? Seems they don’t use the blue dye here but a nuclear marker? Surgery is then the following day. I’ve been told I will stay in hospital 2 nights!!   The tumour is in right breast, 9 o’clock position, so the doctor said the incision will be around the nipple.    Im looking for any similar experiences so I have a better idea of what to expect. I don’t speak much of the local language here and although most medical staff speak great English I’m sure some gets lost in translation!   I’ve bought some front button PJs for hospital and post surgery I’ve bought some non wired bras, anything else I should be thinking of getting?    Appreciate any advice! thanks Sarah     ...

Ladies   i just want to say what a fabulous community you have built here. I was not even aware of this forum on Monday but already I’ve taken great comfort from reading your posts.    Long story short, I had my first mammogram on Monday after turning 50 a few months ago. I’m not in the UK so here an ultrasound is part of your first appointment. A mass/lump was discovered, i had not found any changes myself so was a shock. They asked me to come in the following morning for a biopsy.    So that was Tuesday, now i am waiting for the results. Rollercoaster of a week, emotions all over the place as you will all know. Husband has been really supportive but we both just want to know what we’re dealing with.    Im so glad I found you all, what an amazing group of strong women. Thank you all.    Sarah ... View more
