Next surgery
Hello to all the lovely ladies on here. I don't post much but I read a lot of your posts, and comment where I feel I can be supportive. After my first lumpectomy, the path results came back without clear margins, so it is back to surgery next week, 26th. I had been feeling quite detached and pragmatic through the diagnosis, biopsies, hookwire (yuk) and surgery. Then I kind of fell on my butt when my surgeon said that she needed to operate again. I think I had myself convinced that it would all be over, bullet dodged and thank my lucky stars. I am struggling with what comes next if this next time the margins aren't clear. The unknown I suppose. Does anyone else feel like they wish they could just go to sleep and wake up when it's time to hear the results? I don't do waiting very well at all.132Views0likes8CommentsRe: Confused, no reaction
Hi all, I saw my surgeon today and she informed me that I had an unusual cancer, I think she said papillary, however it looks to be contained. Surgery was to be in about 4 weeks but is now on this coming Thursday (5th). I am glad that it is happening soon, but not sure how I feel after reading a little about papillary cancer.5Views0likes0CommentsRe: Confused, no reaction
@pammiesyd, @Mira , @kmcin, @kmakm, @JoeyLiz, @Eastmum and@Summerhill39, thank you all for your responses. I don't do waiting very well, so am doing as much as I can to distract myself. I am not sleeping, like a lot of other people here, and have resorted to taking a Restavit or two now and then, but they leave me groggy. I will continue to check in regularly, and once again, many thanks ladies.12Views1like0CommentsRe: Booked for lumpectomy and sentinel node next Monday, any advice, tips, welcomed
