Sorry to hear your pain and frustration. I too have just been diagnosed and will be having a double mastectomy on the 2/7. I’m just putting my faith and trust in the doctors that they know what they’re doing. Take one step at a time and trust the process. I too have felt frustrated and annoyed but they do this every day. Take a breath and one step at a time. Everything will become clearer. I opted for two lumpectomies until they said no more now I have to do bilateral mastectomy. Nothing is ideal about this situation for any of us. But trust in the process. Best of luck to you. I’m 59 and have two kids and a wonderful supportive husband. Lean on those you love. 🥰
Thank you so much for your reply and I am sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I had to take myself away from looking online for a while as it was doing my head in all the things I was reading. I had my further axillary surgery on 17/6 and a further 4 nodes out of 16 had macro metastases in them. I started chemo on 14/7 and am now just over 8 weeks into a 20 week treatment plan which will be followed by radiation and hormone blockers. I hope your next surgery went well Muccilli and you have had a successful recovery. Best wishes to you. X
