Roller coaster ride!
Had my first surgery ever!
All went well and when I met my surgeon the next Monday, I was told I had the perfect little cancer, that was a perfect target. My margins were clear and it hadn't spread...

Hi Leanne, wise person your surgeon! Glad to hear the surgery went well. You do have a long road ahead (I also had chemo, rads, Herceptin and Tamoxifen) but the outcomes are very good for so many of us, and you can look forward to popping that champagne on your 40th!
I think its hard too on those around us - we're so caught up in the whirlwind of appointments, scans, surgeries and treatments that it can feel very unreal for us but very worrying and confusing for those who love and care for us and I often found I was the one trying to comfort others about my illness!
When do you start your chemo and Herceptin? Hope it all goes as well as possible, and don't be shy about letting your oncologist know about any side effects you may have as they can usually find something to help. Also, keep posting as there are many here who have travelled this road and happy to help and support you. Best wishes, Jane xx
