All happening too fast
Hi all,
i have been reading this forum since I suspected I have BC. Yesterday my surgeon told me I have breast cancer and will require mastectomy. To be honest I don't feel anything I feel fine I just want to get over it and move on with my life. Today I am scheduled to undergo mastectomy on my left breast. I trust in god that everything will go well and all of us will get clear of cancer.
Thanks for reading

- Great News!!! Gosh I hope I pull up as good as you!!! I'm having a Diep Flap Recon done at the same time. Wishing you a speedy recovery! and great path results!!! Merry Christmas! x Melinda
- Oh wow, you are doing great! I was as sick as a dog after my first surgery. Apparently gas and I do not get on. I imagine you have a drain which is rather icky at first but you do get used to carting it around with you. I had a bit of a cloth tie around the neck bag to hide mine and just used to hang the drain bag on the taps during my shower. Make sure you do the arm exercises as much as you can. My physio said I couldn't hurt anything doing the exercises and to go for it as much as possible. The aim is to be able to comfortably raise your arm above your head again; something that can take several weeks to happen.
Fingers crossed your pathology results come back in a week or two with no lymph node involvement and they got to the bottom of it all in one go. You will feel an odd sensation as your nerves try to reconnect and repair themselves after surgery, rather like bugs under your skin and while an odd sensation, it is quite normal. Have a nice quiet Christmas now, well done you! <3 - Hi Nacho16, It's great that your surgery went well. I hope your recovery goes smoothly over the next few days. Very best wishes, Caroline
- Hi ladies my surgery went well surprisingly I don't feel any pain, just dizzy from the meds but otherwise I feel fine. I'm praying that my pathology will be a good news. Again thank you for all your support. I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a very healthy new year xox
