Vic55, I will be having the injections so it's good to hear they aren't too bad! I think iv made my mind up that we are going on this holiday, iv never needed to get away so much as now! Just time to convince the oncologist to delay. Thank you for your message

Thank you so much for your response! Its really helpful to know another persons experience. We booked our holiday in August last year and our insurance is on going so wasn't purchased after the diagnosis. Unfortunatly because we were paying in installments and the balance was paid after the diagnosis they won't pay us anything. I am really well in myself (obviously I'm yet to start chemo) I was discharged from the hospital within 24 hours and off paid meds by the third day. I genuinely feel like I 'need' a break or I'm going to break. I saw a thread about chemo being most effective within 60 days of operation, im of day 54 now and my oncologist appointment isn't until early July. Unfortunately I don't particularly like my oncologist, find him very rude and brash. Perhaps il speak to one of the nurses about it first.

I was diagnosed with 2nd degree bc in February, single mastectomy in April. I was told I will have chemo and rads due to my age. At my first appointment I raised the issue of fertility unfortunately the hospital forgot to refer me so I am now in the early stages of that process. It seems to be one thing after another with regards to mistakes and delays by the hospital, none of the health care providers are talking to one another and I am constantly being phoned to be the go between about my treatment. After being told we were eligible for funding for the fertility we have now had a letter telling us we will have to pay x amount which we don't have so it looks like that's off the table. We have a holiday booked in July for a week in Italy, it is for a friend's wedding at which I am a bridesmaid. Iv checked my insurance and they won't cover for cancellation and it cost nearly £2000. I cannot afford to lose that! Iv already lost hundreds on another trip due to the op. The hospital seem to have no problem delaying things if it is there choice so am I within my rights to ask them to wait until after our holiday for chemo start. I am at my wits end, so please don't judge me, I just want informed advice/opinions. Thank you!

Could really do with some advice. This is my situation . . . I have a one year old little girl and my husband is military. We are mid move to a completely new area so all of my notes are being moved across at the moment, this is fine. I will be having a mastectomy, chemo and rads, my husband has just come home to tell me he's being sent away once we have moved (not abroad). Now I just don't know what to do, the military are aware of the situation so I don't understand why he's going away. Anyway, how the hell do I look after a baby by myself during treatment? My parents and friends all work (they are all 3 hours away) and I will not know a single person. I feel like I'm staring at a massive wall and can't get over it 😞

The ultra sound hasn't shown anything but they said they won't know until they operate and take some out to biopsy them. I don't have an opportunity date or anything yet. 😞

Lena, There is a really good information booklet on this site with regards to options after mastectomy. It also has a chart which states general operation times, hospital stay and recovery times for each option. I am 30, losing my left breast also, I have my consultation today to discuss options but based on the table/chart on here an implant is the way I would like to go. It has the shortest operation time, hospital stay and recovery period and I have a one year old little girl who needs me.back on my feet so for.me I think that's the option il take. Hugs x

Julia, Do you mind if I ask how old you are? I'm 30 and they are looking at a single mastectomy, I feel.exactly the same as you and at my age I really can't stand the thought of having odd breasts. I know.it's not.important in the grand scheme of things! I'm not even.worried about going bald but I can't stand this idea x

Definitely, it was my brother that pointed me in the asparagus direction so I skim read some info on it. Apparently the reason your urine smells after eating asparagus is because it removes toxins from.your body and that's effectively what the smell is. So it's a natural detox and can help your immune system? It is quite interesting and we all have to eat 😉 There is a lot of research into green vegetables in general and there help with the immunity x

Thanks Wemblo, Sorry to hear that, I hope all of your treatment is going well. It seems most people have these taken out which makes me.even more cross I was refused.

so, I found a lump in my breast 5 years ago, had a fna which found nothing and sent away being told it was a fibroadenoma. I requested at this point to have it removed and was told no that it was a cosmetic procedure and I'd have to pay privately (I was 25 but I wasn't asking for a book job) This lump has changed and got bigger over the years but being a fibroadenoma that's normal. Due to finding a secondary smaller lump attached to the initial I got checked and it's cancer. I can't help but feel if he had just taken it out I wouldn't be in this situation now!

I'm slightly further behind than all of you at the moment, diagnosed last Wednesday and tests for spread on Thursday so now I'm just waiting to be told. Newey I am the same size as you so I'm expecting a mastectomy and was also thinking about the whole pert and saggy situation. For me this hasn't yet affected my life, I'm having to arrange my appointments to suit me as I have a one year old and my husband is military so not always here. We are miles from family so if he isn't here then I can't go to appointments but I'm OK with this (the hospital not so much with my constant rearranging) but life goes on. Your all such strong ladies, stay positive x
