Hi everyone.Just a quick note to say hi and introduce myself. I was diagnosed 22 Jan, Triple N inv ducal carcinoma and have only found the courage today to post.i had my surgery last night and am happy to be moving ahead with my therapies. Psychologically feel great that “the thing” is out. Results will be back in 3 days.

hi @YellowRobin. This is my first post too, I’m in chemo after mastectomy and axillary clearance. I’ve read many posts on this forum and you have come to the right place! It’s an amazing online community!Right now you have so much to deal with. Don’t skimp on pain relief so you can function and sleep as well as you can (!) - if you need more just ask! Hugs T xx

@YellowRobin Yes it's a relief to know that IT is out. You're among people here who understand the ups and downs you will go through. Keep reaching out. Take care of yourself. Eat well. Pamper yourself when possible. Hugs.

Hello and welcome @YellowRobin. It took me much longer than three weeks to join and post here so as far as I'm concerned you're doing really well!This forum is an amazing support, cheer squad, hive mind and resource, and I hope you find it as warm and helpful as I have. Keep sharing as you feel the need. We're with you every step of the way. Big hug, K xox

@arpie yes , I have a pillow that hangs like a handbag. Definitely makes a difference. Coming home was very uncomfortable as we have lots of dirt roads. Made worse by the rain. Hey, not complaining we needed the rain after the extreme dry and fires.

Hello @YellowRobin and welcome. I have recently been diagnosed and I too took a little bit of time to post. I have started my treatment and have read so many pieces of great advice here from the people who really know the grass roots things that get you through everyday stuff. Take care.

All the best with your recovery, @YellowRobin - I hope you have a small oblong cushion to support your arm when sleeping - and also to hold onto when driving home! Any bumps on the road (or driveways) can really jar your arm & hurt!

Good luck with your results - you will have your game plan very soon - feel free to put up any questions you may have regarding the treatment - and those who've gone before you, will be able to offer support and tips.

take care xxx
