Mastectomy

You've got that right Sonya. I may not post much myself, but just reading other people's posts, and the responses somehow lifts my spirit.

take care, Lyn

Thanks Summer,  you are inspirational.  You are so right about this site  I am very privileged to be in contact with so many other inspirational ladies. Stay proud,  positive and strong and I will endeavour to do the same.  Huge thanks

Hello Sonya You will find that you are stronger than you ever thought ! Karen's quote is magnificent - thank you, Karen - keep it on hand fore those tiny moments when you doubt yourself. As ladies say, take it one day at a time if you can. Me, I like to plan ahead so I can get my mindset in the right place. My affirmation during my mastectomy and two subsequent emergency surgeries was "I am positive. I am strong. I am proud" and that helped me to focus and get through it. Now, almost a year on my SNAG has hit a downer re the 'new me' so there are more issues to deal with but I am sure, like others, we will make it through. Me, I am just happy to be alive and, after all, who knows once I am dressed ? I will be thinking of you on Monday. You have the support of many wonderful ladies on this site so log on and ask away, vent away - but beyond all else, stay in touch and keep talking. Best wishes and bigger hugs Summer :-)

Hi Monica 

Good luck with your results.  Like I've been told,  take it day by day,  appointment by appointment,  it's a hard slog however with the support of this site,  family and friends you will win.

All the best

Sonya  

Thanks Karen,  I will keep that quote close at hand,  it is a beauty.  I have found all the support since being diagnosed so helpful.  The breastcare nurse showed me some selections on Friday,  maybe I will have to organise a trip to the city,  I live in Rockhampton Qld. 

Regards 

Sonya

 

Thanks Tracy

You're absolutely right,  my family and friends have been wonderful,  they are my floaties at present,  keeping my head above water.  I'm am so lucky and grateful for such fantastic support.  This site had also helped so much.  Thanks for staying in contact.

Thanks Lyn this is certainly one of the toughest journeys I've experienced.  Having you ladies to talk to is a God send. 

Sonya 

Thanks Robyn,  It will take some getting used to I'm grateful you shared your experience with me,  it gives me hope.

Sonya 

Thanks Annie,  yes it certainly seems to all happen in quick succession,  although sometimes it just seems to drag on.

Hi  Sonya 

I tòo have a tough  month, after a standard mammogram and was told  I had  multifocal  disease  (four  separate parts of my breast). I have since had the breast and some lymph nodes removed and am waiting for the pathology results for the  next part of my journey. I am actually  writing  this while recovering in hospital 

This site is a god send

I wish everyone well whatever part of the journey you are on
