Surgery

I'm so sorry you have had to join us on this journey but welcome to this wonderful network. Michelle is a lovely lady, I think she was to first to respond to me all those months ago when I was new. She was so calming and caring. But you'll find all our Pink Sisters are here to hold your hand and support you through all the speed humps along the way. I was diagnosed just days before last Christmas (through a routine mammogram, I had no symptoms at all beforehand) with two lumps of two different cancer types in the same breast, one was triple negative and the other ER & HER2 positive. My beautiful family have been so loving and supportive but I still felt quite alone and so frightened. I was aware of this site from diagnosis but it took me a while to actually get up the nerve to post anything. I'm so glad I did because it's literally saved my sanity. I felt enveloped in understanding and empathy. I've have been through lumpectomy, 4 months of chemo, bilateral mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. I've now commenced taking a daily hormonal inhibitor tablet for 5 years and am still having three weekly Herceptin infusions until next May. I have had my ups and downs but I'm recovering and looking forward to next Christmas being almost back to normal all-be-it a new normal. It's amazing how quickly this year has gone. Know you are not alone and we are with you every step of the way. Sending you warm hugs and wishing you good luck for your surgery. Keep us posted how you get on. Love Janey xxx
