Hi roofy I dont blame you for not bothering with that person, you dont need to be listining to somebody talking like that all the time. I now take 20 mg Citalopram and since starting rads have felt much better in myself. I also travel with a few other people going for treatment so I think being in the company others going through it you dont just talk about C you can have a little laugh and joke as well which does you good. Take care Kath xx ... View more

Hi everybody  hope you are all doing well in your treatment. I am on day 6 tommorrow . Found that the last week went very quick. So after tommorrow another 9. So far have been okay as the hospital gave me diprobase to put on. But was very tired yesterday. I am lucky though that I dont have to make my own way to the hospital about a 40 mile round trip.  We have a cancer support vehicle so takes all the stress away.   love and best wishes to everybody xxx ...

Hi suzanne I had WLE and SNB on the 5th December and got my results on the 18th December which were clear.I see oncologist  on Tuesday as was told  I would be having radiotherapy.I have a leaflet  that my BCN gave me. It  says that during diagnosis the radiologist checks the armpit with the ultrasound scan. If there is no sign of a problem in the armpit glands , sentinal node biopsy is beneficial.If it shows that it has spread to the armpit they would do a biopsy there and then and if it confirms it a SNB is not helpful as all glands need to be removed.So please try and stay positive.You will get plenty of support and advice here on the forum. Sorry to waffle on I dont know if you have one of the leaflets regarding SNB. But try not to worry about it  (easier said than done.) I got my self worked up about it and then after it being done wondered why. Take one day at a time. Love and Best wishes Kath xx ... View more

I am sorry about your diagnosis. But you will get alot of support from the ladies on here.I was diagnosed on the 6th November and had WLE and SNB on the 5th December. I was terrified about the operation but coming on here made me feel better.Having the radio active injection took a few seconds and I wondered why I had got myself so worked up.Even having the wire done to pinpoint the area was fine. Luckily for me it was all done in the same hospital.The operation itself you now sooner have the anesthetic and the next thing you are in recovery. Please try to stay positive I know its hard as I to was the same.I have now had my results and my nodes were clear.(( what a relief ) I see oncologist  Tuesday as was told I would have radoitherapy.  You will go go through alot of emotions but once you get your results and treatment plan you will feel more in control. Hope you enjoy christmas and let us know you get on Love Best wishes Kath xx ... View more
