Hiding in plain sight
Hi everyone, just a ‘newbie’ here. My name is Julie & I was diagnosed with ILC on the 11th Dec 2019 & so far it’s been full on, appointments....appointments & one more scan, biopsy after another. ...

Hi @BowerBird11 - SO sorry to see you here & glad that you've had your surgery today, as the waiting time between discovery, diagnosis & surgery is usually totally horrible. Feel free to throw up any question or rant re your experiences ..... as we've seen or done most of them ourselves & know how it feels. It is such a whirlwind when it happens - and it really does muck with your brain. Falling asleep is often a casualty! :( Maybe ask your Dr for some Temase to take occasionally, if needed ..... All the best for your pathology results xx
I was diagnosed with ILC this time 2 years ago & had my surgery in mid Jan back then. I was lucky, it was small, caught early & I had a lumpectomy & then radiation, and now on tablets. Wishing you all the best for your recovery from surgery.
Make sure you have a soft cushion to hold onto the first week or so when you are travelling in the car, to stop jarring, as it does hurt a bit (and it comes in handy for when you are sleeping to support your arm too.) Take the pain killers for at least a week - longer if needed. If anyone offers to do the cooking and/or housework, take them up on it.
That is terrific that you have supportive family & friends .... take care, xxxx
