Me so far......
Hi. 4 weeks ago I found a lump which I did not seem to remember being there. I told my hubby about it and booked to see the GP. He send me off for an ultrasound the next day. The radiographer straigh...
I have had a very similar journey. I found a lump that I new was there but thought was just breast tissue. It wasnt. I had a left mastectomy on 23 May with a sentinal node biopsy. The nodes were clear but I will never shake that feelling while I was waiting both for surgery and my path results. Terrifying on all levels. I was told chemo wouldnt help and wasnt worth it for the small 1.8% improvement on my chances so here I am on hormone therapy thinking OMG!! Now that I have dealt with the imediate danger I now am left with my emotions which arnt behaving as I expected. I hope this doesnt happen to you but I have been told by the ladies on this site that it is quite normal so if it is the case and your emotions misbehave on you come on here and let it all out. I for one will understand and you will get such support from all those that have been thru this and are now keeping on keeping on, as I hope to in time. I hope your chemo experience is a good one for you and you cope with it well. It is going to help your chances so look at it as the words say, Therapy, not the same as massage therapy but still helpful for your body. If the days are too much sometimes that is what we are here for. I for one have vented and cried on here a couple of times. All the best and keep us posted on here and all my good thoughts to you. X
