So, tomorrow (27/07/16) is the day, the "M" day. The day I go to sleep whole, then wake up with part of me missing. The day I say goodbye to Leftie-lou. The day I say goodbye to the uninvited guest that decided to invade my body, without my knowledge, without my consent. The day I hope I hear the words "it hasn't spread". The day that I can start travelling the long road to finding myself and rebuilding my life xx
Here's hoping you are recovering well. Kath x
Hoping all went well with your surgery Aussie!
I am recovering from my bi lateral mastectomy (24/6) and am now in the middle of reconstruction (expanders).
Yes, you will have lost a part of you and it's quite scary and surreal, but I fond when i looked at my chest for the first time after surgery....I felt at peace....this surprised me as I thought I would cry......I was at peace with my decision....I was rid of that evil bitch that tried to kill me!
I hope you get that same feeling.....
Wishing you easy recovery and beautiful days...
Tracy
Hi I hope it all went well today, before long you will be looking back and thinking wow I survived that. Next month it will be 2 years for me since I lost my left breast and I'm here celebrating being a survivor. Long hard trip but you will get there xx
My thoughts and prayers are with you ??
All the best today ??????????
Yes it is all a bit surreal on the day but you will be in good hands and when you wake up it is to a new cancer free rest of your life with so much more certainty.
Take it easy in the recovery and I hope there is someone there to look after you and spoil you rotten.
Hugs ????????????

Hope all goes well and you have a nice restful not too painful stay in hospital. I am a missing leftie-lou as well. Maybe we should start a club.
Hi Aussie. Good luck tomorrow with your surgery. Strength in knowing we are all in someway facing this terrible disease.lots of support on this forum lots of ladies who understand.will be a few weeks behind you with the surgery bit but I was just reading a post that said all we really have to do is show up and all the nurses and doctors will look after us. It's true really. Just fear of the unknown which gets us. all the best and sending hugs.xx
Hi Aussie,
Before you know it you will be looking back at your surgery date and marveling at how fast time flies and how incredibly strong you are. One of the things that gets me the most is how you can feel fantastic and be told that you have breast cancer - it's like entering into an episode of the Twilight Zone. All the best for your surgery tomorrow. Let us know how you are going. Xx Cath
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Such a clever post....well done, I can feel your positive attitude shining through.
