Posted by Melanie F Hope your'e recovering well from surgery. I'm 34 married with two children. I had a lumpectomy & positive nodes removed in July last year. I have just finished my Chemo and am about to start radiotherapy. I remember how scared I felt, still do some days. I hope this small piece of advice helps you in the same way. You really do feel alone, especially at the initial stages. Later you realise your'e not alone. Things will get better it is a long hard road, which I won't deny. Though now looking back it has gone by so quickly, as it will for you, it just doesn't seem that way now. And dare I say it "Think positive" , take care from Melanie F.

Hi Melanie
I remember all the information from the Hospital trying to take it in, surgery, chemo, radio, tamoxifen. My head was like a washing machine. I had great advice from my breast care nurse, face each thing individually and deal with it and only it, then move to the next. Put everything into small stages. Like starting my Radiotherapy. I have only found out about it still only briefly now. I have my consultation appointment when I will have a better picture. I found it too much to think about every treatment. So to stage each one singularly helped a great deal.
