feeling positive

Hi all,  It is 4 days since I had my breast lumpectomy and SNB done, I'm feeling a little tender but not to bad considering.  I am looking forward to, if you can call it that for Thursday when I find out the final analysis of my cancer...I have only positive thoughts which I find is best :-)  I know that I will be having 6 months of chemo & 6 weeks of radiation, after I finish chemo & Yes I am all organised as I can be with dealing with my hair loss by ordering some really smashing hats and easy peasy scarves. :-)   I can honestly say that I am thinking "bring on this treatment" because the sooner its started the sooner its finished and thats my major plan!!!

Brightest Blessings to All,

Susan xxx

    Good luck Susan for Thursday and for your treatment. I found it hard at first when I lost my hair but then got used to it. There are heaps of great head wear available and no more bad hair days. I also got a wig but found I only wore it when I went out at night and on special occasions as it irritates me. You can get some money towards a wig by contacting the cancer council in your state.

    Hi Susan

    So pleased things are going okay for you so far and with that 'bring it on' attitude you are in good shape for the next step or two.  I totally agree with all about the frustration and anxiety about the waiting and so I'm sure Thursday can't arrive soon enough for you - big day for me also as I finally start chemo albeit in a reduced dosage because of my low before I start white cell count!!

    Thinking of you, Dette xxx
