Re: Mastectomy and Auxillary Node Clearance
Thank you everyone for you messages of support. I appreciate all your support and guidance moving forward. Everyone is different and everyone reacts differently. The information you have provided has really given me an insight into how I could feel after my operation and what other have experienced and felt themselves. Thankyou x8Views1like0CommentsMastectomy and Auxillary Node Clearance
Good morning Ladies, I am having a left mastectomy and auxiliary node clearance today at the QEH in Adelaide. I am just wondering if anyone can give me any tips or advice following surgery for the best way to move forward physically and emotionally. How did you cope moving forward emotionally? How did you dress, shower, sleep etc? Thank you in advance for any information or support you give, I really appreciate it. Sorry if it is a sensitive issue to some. . Much love, Tameika285Views0likes12CommentsRe: I was recently diagnosed...
I was recently diagnosed with Breast cancer in October, had a lumpectomy in November, but unfortunately the cancer was bigger than first thought and it has spread to my nodes. So I have to have a left mastectomy on the 18th of December. This Christmas is going to be very emotional and a tough one but I will fight through. Just a quiet one with family, not sure if I will actually go out for dining as already organised due to how I could be feeling after the op. Love to you all. xx12Views1like0Comments

Young women & breast cancer
This group is for young women affected by breast cancer. In the context of breast cancer treatment, ‘young’ usually refers to women who are pre-menopausal. Here, you can connect with others who understand the unique challenges that come with a diagnosis at a younger age. We talk about things like fertility, pregnancy, early menopause, ovarian suppression, relationships, and the emotional impact of treatment and recovery. Whether you're newly diagnosed or further along in your journey, this is a safe space to ask questions, share experiences, and support one another. You are not alone during this uncertain and overwhelming time.
