Hi Mrs Mogg, bet it was nice to have a few days away and hopefully think of much nicer things. There is me thinking I would try going healthy ready for the op, even dug out my old juicer and bought the organic carrots….. that lasted all of 2 days, took me ages what with washing, chopping and juicing let alone all the mess to clear up after…. took me ages to work out how it all went back together the next day! Read your idea about the wine, needless to say the juicer is back in its box! Cheers to that....well grapes are one of your 5 a-day eh? My house is totally upside down, we had just started decorating when this bombshell hit, which had to be left for appointments etc. The idea was to have it all ready for changing boiler, finish plastering, and putting flooring down when the two wanderers returned….. hmmm so much for plans! We are going through this at much the same time and like you said, its going to come round really quick but we are both going to do this (have no choice, lol) and come out the other side with better things to think about…. Well apart from the results, oh and the treatments…… scratch better things lets say different 🙂 Mandy x Tried but could not get the pm thing to work

Had a phone call about my surgery today, they wanted me to have it on the 25th with a different surgeon and at a different hospital. My husband is due back on the evening of the 24th and it would be a bit of a risk of him being delayed etc and not only that I would not like to change surgeons or hospitals. After a lot of talking between the caller and another person, I could hear my Doctors name mentioned so I said I wanted my original Doctor and my chosen hospital. I have now got the 1 st October with the Doctor and hospital as planned but I have to go to the other hospital first thing of that morning to have the radioactive dye and the trace wire then travel to my chosen hospital for my surgery in the afternoon….. so not to plan.... this dont bode well............feeling very unsettled now!

Hi Mrs Mogg Awww…. I hope you have had a successful day and haven’t needed to have a cry x I am new here too. Sounds like we are both roughly at the same stage. Yes you are right about not knowing. I am also finding odd aches and pains harder to shrug off as being unimportant which is sometimes scary. Just have to take it one stage at a time. I try not to think past the surgery at the moment because it sends my brain cell into overload with what ifs. I received my appointment letter this morning to go for my pre-op assessment, which reminded me it wasn’t a dream (nightmare) I go next Thursday. Oh my… you are so organised about the bra, this has never been mentioned to me and the thought of having to have one must have been in my head somewhere….. dunno where though…… as you can tell my head is not into this! Will have to have a think of what I will need….. and make a list (can’t trust my head!!) Will have a look for the PM thingy Best wishes and hugs Mandy x

Thank you for your reply Nel Yes I have read a few threads on these forums in the few weeks leading up to my biopsy results and hospital appointment and I can see all the care and support everyone is giving and getting. This is what made me join and write in. I think the support is so comforting especially as it is from ladies, like yourself currently going through it. I particularly liked the part of your reply…… ‘but you know what you will beat this’ which I read again and again… I will and you will…. whatever it takes eh? Wishing you all the very best as you go on your journey xx

Hi Thank you so much for your replies and kind words. Packed them both off early hours this morning. Timing for this bombshell could have been better but today has not been as bad as I thought it would be. I was so worried I would panic and get really upset but this bit of quiet time alone where I have not had to put on a ‘brave face’ for anyone has been a bit of a relief. Apart from my good friend I really do not have anyone I feel comfortable with enough to tell, the thought of telling anyone makes me feel I am burdening or upsetting them. While I know its evasive and my lymph nodes are enlarged I think it is still not knowing what course its going to take until after the surgery results…. so it is coming to terms with what has happened so far while I wait for my appointment. I don’t know if it has sunk in or not, just feel a bit numb. Wishing you all the very best Mandy

Just recently been diagnosed, I have to be so thankful to the Breast Screening for this and cannot praise them enough for their support and kindness After core biopsy was told Ductal Cancer Grade 3 and referred to my chosen hospital. Had my appointment yesterday and operation was explained and accepted, consent forms signed for lumpectomy and centennial node surgery, with other treaments before and after results. All along my husband has been with me but I think I have supported him, he cried when we both told. I have 2 sons – 1 in New Zealand , he is going through very hard marital problems which involves 2 grand children and has depression – My other son has mental health problems, I am his carer and appointee and he relies on only me, he is just making improvements with the new medication. The only person I have told is my best friend, thinking I will say only when I think its needed. After tomorrow I will have lost my immediate and closest as he will be taking my son on annual holiday for 2 weeks (can’t tell you how he has been looking forward to this trusts nobody else) My husband did not want to go but I would rather have that than try to explain to my son. Also consultant said operation wouldn’t be in the next 2 weeks. As said feel I can’t tell other son in New Zealand . To cap it all my best friend will be away for 10 days over the 2 weeks my husband is away. Just thinking……. I have nobody else to tell (well nobody that would really care)….. Even though I let on I am strong and shrug it off for everyone else….perhaps I am not strong…. maybe I want to tell everyone because I (yes ME) I want support. Don’t want ‘poor you’ ..........just encouragement.
