 I have just finished the book. You must be so proud of your mum ,she is a real inspiration. Pain not much better, using pillow. Hope all is going well with you.  Debbie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 Yes it is good news, better than I thought it would be. Now have to wait and see the Onocologist.Has anyone just had the drug Tamoxifen and what are the side affedcts?. Still very sore not sleeping due to pain, have taken sleeping pills and pain relief but still waking up with pain. Sleeping with pillow under my arm ,but my chest feels like I am being bitten by green ants. Also is anyone taking alternative mediicine as well ?.

Hi Debbie...that's wonderful news and no chemo or radium...how marvelous!

Great idea of joining a breast support group...this should help you immensely.

I actually had cancer in all bar 1 of my lymph nodes and like I said...I'm still here 8 years later. I believe technology has come a long way over the years and it's proof when so many women today are coming through the other side from having breast cancer.

I too am very happy for you!

Hi Debbie, that's great news especially that you are HER2- as I think if it was + you would have had to have chemo with the herceptin. Also good that all of the lymph nodes were clear, you must be so relieved. it is all looking very positive for you now, I'm so happy for you. . .maybe now you can get some sleep.

Well woke this morning feeling very worried and upset , took some valium to calm me down before my appointment. Well my results are good.Lump was a lot smaller than the Dr had thought and after testing 15 of the nodes they all came back no sign of cancer. It was a grade 2 cancer ductal carcinoma. HER2 was negative . I go to the onocologist on the 20th April , the Dr thinks I will be put on Tamoxifen for 5 years, no radiation or chemo at this stage, will have to wait and see. Found out today that a Jane McGrath breast nurse has just started in my area , will be giving her a ring on monday , as the nurse at the brest clinic was not helpful and did not return my calls. Have joined breast support group in my area , waiting on my first meeting. To all my new friends I can not thank you enough for all your support and love. Big hugs love Debbie.

Hi Debbie

All the best for tomorrow. My dr gave me a script for Capadex and it has been great for pain relief and it does not contain Codeine which I wanted to avoid. I used it too when needed during Chemo, combined with Nurofen for relief of body aches. After my surgery I was quite good until about week 3 when my chest really hurt (felt  like sandpaper) and I was told this was due to nerve endings healing etc. This lasted for probably 5 days or so but then felt much better again. So don't get dismayed if this sets in - it will pass. The hard thing in this journey is that we have to learn to be patient and do one step at a time, so I wish you the very best. Di
