thinking of you Pam xx - ChezzMemberHi LMW, know how your feeling. I just had a lumpectomy on thursday also (1st time). Waiting for my results too. Im new to this site as well. All the best for your results. Xo
- socodaMemberHey @LMW Welcome. Excellent that you've already had your surgery. Don't stress too much about your pathology cause you can't change it and you'll just get yourself anxious. Instead try and use these couple of days enjoying any sunshine you can get, relaxing, recuperating and doing things that are pleasurable. Things will seem more in control once your treatment plan is put in place. Wishing you all the best, let us know how you get on. Big hug. Xx
- LMWMemberYes indeed it surely is a whirlwind after diagnosis!!!! thank you so much ladies for your kind words of encouragement. You are all very sweet xoxo
- fairydustMemberHI LMW. One week you are perfectly fine next week you have cancer. The doctors only want was is best for you. However at one point I asked for a few days off prior to chemo. I needed a delay to process and get my house ready for what was too come ahead. Family members were staying for a brief time. Someone else was here and life was getting chaotic. Good luck for thursday.
- Brenda5MemberHi LMW, good to hear you have the nasty surgery bit behind you. Now for the mopping up treatment to make sure you are cancer free, hopefully forever!
- NadiMemberHi LMW. I am so sorry that you found yourself here but so glad that you did. The first few weeks after surgery can be a whirlwind especially before you know what treatment you will need. Once you get your pathology results back and your treatment plan sorted things will probably settle down as you move into the next stage. I too had a lumpectomy and was sore for a while but it improved after a few weeks. Wishing you all the best for your next appointment. Please let us know how it goes.
Sending hugs, Nadine
