Hallo Fellow Members, Newbie here.

[jamaica2]

Hallo everyone, I was diagnosed mid October and recovering from right breast mastectomy + axillary dissection 5 days ago. Was home with drain which came out today thank goodness. I have read some of the lovely, challenging, difficult, inspiring posts on here. Looking forward to visiting the Haven Welcome day on the 15th. My pathology results are on the 8th. I used to work as an admin asst at my local hospital so it's strange to be on the other side.

Welcome to the forum jamaica2. I also had a right breast mastectomy ( three weeks ago) with removal of three nodes. All clear and clear margins. You have the drain out - great! Mine was in for two weeks! I became a master of Camouflage! Although struggling to be comfortable in a bra by the end of the day, recovery has been good. I wish you well with yours. 🌺

Welcome to our exclusive club! Hope all got well with the path results, and if not.....it is not as bad as it may sound.....one day last February, i was just skating through life then out of the blue, i have late stage IV MBC, with bone mets........9 months later, aside from the effect of the oral chemo (really bad joint, muscle, body pain, weight gain and general ikkyness) i am doing great. I thank God, that do all that i do......hang in there, you have us, and you will learn, that this is where you will find all of your answers to all of your questions......
