This forum helped me so much. Chocolate and vodka sprouts will never be forgotten. It would be a great title for a book 🙂

Hi Caroline, I think Jill hit the nail on the head. Take one step at a time. Each stage has tests. I always find the worst part is waiting for results but once you have them you can then put a plan in place. As far as working is concerned it really depends on your job and what type of surgery you have. I was diagnosed at 40. I was lucky as I had already had my 2 children so didn’t need to go through the fertility tests. Just ask whatever questions you have. I am sure some one here may have had a similar diagnosis or treatment. You just have to note that everyone is treated differently no 2 treatments or side effects are the same. People all react differently. Take Care Ange xx

Yes I still wish we had put a patent in it though. Lots of shops got in the band wagon but they did forget the vodka xxx

Hi Jackie, I found the first few weeks the most challenging. Once they determine your HER status they can put a plan in action. If you are you get a treatment called Herceptin. It’s normally given 3 weekly for a year ( unless that changes). It’s not too bad. The other thing was all the abbreviations but you get there in the end. Take care xxx

Hey all, Long time no speak. I have just had a notification. Looking back at old posts. It’s been 3 years since diagnosis and I am not going to say it’s easy. I am struggling with the new “normal”. I am on Tamoxifen and biophosphates they all have their own side effects. The hardest bit it trying to loose weight so they will allow me to have my reconstruction. 3 1/2 stones is a lot when you are on lots of meds and the stress of life takes over. Hope everyone is doing ok. Mad Ange xxx

Been a long time since I have been here. I’d like to say things get easier but life remains a challenge. On a positive we are still here and we are learning how to live with everything we have been through. Best wishes to all for 2018 - MadAnge xxx

I am on a phased return. It is ok but as you have all said they sometimes think you can do more. I am lucky because the occ health have said when I have my herceptins I can work from home for the rest of the week so all is good xx

Hello Delly, Jo, Jill and all, long time since I have posted. This thread helped me so much so just having a little nose. As Jill says chocolate covered sprouts are the answer. I still don't know how I managed to get through ops, chemo and radio still having herceptin but counting down at each one. Would never have been able to get through this without support. Big hugs to my support network xxxx

I am in limbo with aches and pains :(. Rads finished 2 weeks ago and I am sore and uncomfortable. I am having herceptin 5 on Tuesday so more aches to come. Have started to work from home. All seems weird as I am exhausted but trying to do normal things xxx
