Re: Post Op Bra ?
Hi, i find wearing a cropv9top bra very comfy, i just remove the padding in it and place the padding provided from the hosp with post surgery bra. I wear it 24/7. I have brought my prostheses and two bras, ive yet to wear it. I had my mastectomy of left breast on 14/6, after a lumpectomy and removal of 13 lymp notes on 31/5. Radiation now happening. I must say the bras are cheaper at myer thanvthose specialised shops for it.

Re: Got told today chemo failed
Hi Lmk74, i had 6months if chemo and was told my tumour had shrunk and didnt need mastectomy as initially said....so I had lymp nodes and lumpectomy done on 31/5/17. Pathology test done at the time of surgery showed further canxxx, so guess what i had a mastectomy 14 days later. What I'm trying to say is that somethings are just unknown. .its life

Re: Post op - 2nd op in 12 days.
Hi, i had 2 ops in 14 days, 1st lumpectomy and 13 lymph nodes removed. Pathology test from it came back with more Canxxx (i hate the word). As a result, another op for mastectomy was done exactly on the 14th day. My pain hasnt been too bad, i just accept it, i guess we're all different, i do get some nerve pain every so often. ..thats me. Good luck and take care..xxx

Re: My "choices" regarding treatment spelt out
Hi, i had 6 months of chemo plus hormone tabs letrozole, handled chemo ok,followed by mastectomy and rads to start end of the month. I was never given an option for chemo. My personal choice has always been that i would do ALL to ensure and know that i had done everything possible, and not regret it later on. I'm happy to do what ever it takes to stay alive or have the % reduced. Good luck and take care.
