My Breast Cancer Journey.

I am due for my operation this Thursday, the 17th Sept.   Lumpectomy and Sentinel Lymph Node removal.  Still positive and taking my 1 step at a time.  The support and prayers offered from my family, friends and work colleagues has been positive and supportive and of course my Breast Cancer nurses.   This is my first post, but I have read many of your posts and many similar to my diagnosis/operation.

  • Thanks for your thoughts.  Very positive and that helps me and the family.

    Take care Maryrose. x

  • Hello Jen

    The cancer and the lymph node associated will be tested while I am in theatre.  If I have any cancer cells in the lymph node they will remove all, and if it shows the cell has broken the outer and cancer cells are present I will have the extra taken from the margin, either straight away or taken back to theatre.  I was really impressed with firstly Breast Screen and the Surgeon.   Oh, I must not forget the Breast Care Nurses, absolutely fantastic.

    Thank you.

    Hi Gaye, here's hoping that your surgery goes well for you. I'm glad that you're taking it one step at a time, as the treatment will pass much quicker for you and be easier to manage in your mind. Sending you a big cuddle, Trace ????

  • Good luck on Thursday, we'll be wishing you clear margins and nodes! Be kind to yourself after the surgery and I hope you don't have too long a wait for the pathology results.
