Breast Cancer Now Forum

While Frankish and Hollie I've read your message with interest , I'm 5 months post chemo rads mas, and think I feel worse now. Am also on leztrozole , which was changed to a different brand after 3 months, still got aches and pains , not quite as bad. Got the headaches and feel miserable fed up and yuk most of the time , I to,live on my own , so I think that is quite hard . Some days I just think I'm never going to well again X now I'm moaning and ranting ha ha xx I'm also quite breathless, not all the time though sort of comes and goes. I was told it's all to to do with rads , so I feel that quite scary , will that ever get better I wonder , love and hugs to all xx    ... View more

Hi to everyone and thank you all lovely ladies for your kind words x wat an inspiration and comfort you all are , well my treatment was changed as the c was found in nodes , so Instead of recon etc in jan I had a mascetomany on the 22nd x lovely christmas present , 13 nodes were removed I'm seeing doc on 7th jan so will no more then I guess , op was,nt as bad as I thought but the armpit and node removable so painful,  I finially manage to take my first look at the no boobie bits and must admit had a complete melt down , my wonderful little 27 year old soldier came and stayed as I live alone and was such a big support , silly mummy crying all the time and moaning about how I look ,  but today I've thought hey ! who the ..... Cares I'm 57 and I'm here  and love reading all your lovely thoughts and stories , bless you all , just wish we cud all meet up , you have all kept me somewhat sane over the last 8 weeks ,,,,, with love  Jill    ...

Hi gaynor and everyone else x I had 2 lymph nodes removed 5 days ago , had the ashen grey face for a day and the green poo and wee, all that being said I was absoulutly pertrified and still am about the whole thing , but I have to say the whole procedure was no where near as bad as I had thought , I think the waiting around all day was the worse bit ,  i was diagnosed 5 weeks ago and still can't take it in. I'm waiting for my mascetomany and recon app.  Since I was diaganosed I think every pain and ache I  have I'm convicted it's somewhere else and am beginning to think I'm a complete selfish freak , I've had an ear ache for which I was given a spray , now after 2 weeks and it's still there I'm told by my doctor that's it's an infection so am on antibiotics , but of course me being me I think it's the dreaded c..... I can't even say the word anymore,  Really sorry for this thread I must sound like I'm ranting , People say try and keep busy and positive ,but I just find it so hard sometimes , it has helped reading all these lovely mess on here , and of course I do believe it or not ! Relies that I'm in a lot better place than some people ,    anyway enuff of me ranting , good luck and god bless you all x   ... View more
