Hi ladies 🙂 This is my first post but have been reading all your threads since I was diagnosed in nov 2013 and they have pulled me through some dark moments. I was diagnosed a week after my 39th birthday. Was bit of a shock because only found tiny lump that hurt. Everyone I knew said dont worry it cant be cancer if it hurts! After a mammogram I was told I had small tumor in rb &dcis in both breasts. On the 13/12/13 I had double mx and saline implants. Was quite poorly stayed in hospital 8 days had 2 washouts and blood transfusion. The ports are bit annoying as one slipped up near implant and other gets squashed when I am sleeping so keeps waking me up. I thought I was mentally prepared for the pain but totally underestimated it but am proud to now just be taking ibrofen and co drydomol and am now on road to recovery. I went to get my path report and because it came back as a grade 3 have been offered fec chemo which is the hardest decision I have had to make and am still not sure but because I am young and have children feel I need to do it for them fo have a mum for longer. My next big choice is whether to have a PICC line or not is anyone else having one or going with a canula? I am a very lucky girl as have got the most amazing man looking after me and a great family but it is hard to describe how I feel so need to reach out to people in the same boat onwards and forwards....
