My Breast Cancer Journey.

All is great thanks.   Over halfway through radiation and coping well.   I hope everything is going well for you.  Staying positive is my main advice to one and all.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  2016 will be a fantastic year for us all.

Hi again Chris.

I do not know where my other posts went but take this as a delayed update.    I am over half-way with my Radiation.  They decided I did not require Chemo, but because of my high hormone levels and the Micromatastaisis in the Sentinel Node I will need to follow up the radiation with Hormone Therapy.   All is going well.  Of course some really tired days and need dressings on my breast, but nothing I cannot handle. 

The love and support of my Family and Friends,  Work Colleagues and of course this Network  is fantastic. 

I am looking forward to the New Year and the start of my next journey to the Hormone Therapy, but currently my one day, on step at a time.

Take care and I hope your final operation was successful and you are getting plenty of rest and relaxation.

Hi Gaye, how frustrating to have the surgery delayed, I can only imagine how you must feel as you would have been primed and ready to face it. I am now 2 1/2 weeks post surgery and have had absolutely no issues and feeling really good. Positive thoughts to you, try not to stress with the extended waiting period now, it will go in no time and be out of you before you know it.

Good luck!

Hi Gaye,

hope you are traveling ok and things are progressing in the right direction.

as daunting as it is - this is a great place to come and know you are not alone. There is always someone that will make a comment or point you in the right direction, or just understand when you need to vent.

All the best - make sure you keep us updated with how you are going xx

Hi Gail,

I hope you went ok with your op. I too had mine on the 2nd September and am doing really well just like you will. My appointment with the radiation clinic is this Tuesday and the oncologist the following Wednesday. I am doing the same as you and taking one day at a time. Good luck.

What a let down , it is hard when you get yourself all prepared and then cancelled. Try and relax the time will go fast. Take carex

That's a bit of a letdown. Hope it happens within that time frame or sooner for you then. Yes try and keep yourself busy if you can get your mind around it. The waiting is the hardest part I found. Regards Maria

What a bummer having your surgery postponed. Try to keep yourself busy and continue to be positive and strong. Yes others get sick and when i was going through treatment i always tried to think about all the others out there in a much worse situation then me. It was a way that i kept things in perspective. Keep smiling

Surgery cancelled as no-one there today to put in the hook wire.   Re-schedule for sometime in the next 2+ wks.  Thanks to you all for the support.  I am fine and still positive.  Other people do get sick.  I will just wait for the next step.  Regards Gaye.  xx

Hi Gaye, Good luck for tomorrow and make the most of those looking after you. Hope it all goes well. I am 2 weeks post op today for the same surgery. The waiting for the results is the hardest bit so hope the time goes quick for you. Best wishes Maria.
