my breast cancer was operated on. they did a lumpectomy. unfortunately, the doc made a hash of the biopsies prior to going to theatre. if he did a proper job i would have had a mastectomy cos in theatre they took more tissue samples and sent them to the lab. when i went back two weeks later for the results i was told that the ca was in the whole of my breast. BUT thats ok. we'll leave it for now. have ur tx first. in the meantime, we'll monitor u with regular mamograms and if something crops up that needs attention we can deal with it immediately if necessary. i'm sooooooooo frustrated. i really thought it would be outa the way by the time tx began. not so!
still, on the brighter side, i guess i'm half way there. i'm still positive and i'm still smiling.

Pepy, I am horrified for you ... I hope they figure out "clear margins" for you! I had BC in 2000 & had a large part of my breast removed & reconstructed .... looks crummy, but I'm alive. Are you doing chemo & radiation?

your a real star! with a great positive attitude.
well done. Good luck with everything. hugs Lisa

tex twin, thanks for your support. no i cant do chemo cos it would have caused probs for the hcv tx. i guess they know what they're doing tho. they said they had to prioritise and thats what they've done. my livers obviously in a worse state than my breast so they r treating that first. glad u were able to clear your bc. know what u mean bout the looking crummy bit. tho mines pretty much crummy since surgery too, but hey, who cares??? at my age everything goes south anyway. lol you take care of you ok and be happy.
i'm here for you:)

thanks art for your kind encouragement and reassurance. i'm really pleased for your three friends too. well done to them!!!
i guess i cant have sounded very positive in my journal, but, to be honest, whilst frustrated, i am pretty positive about my bc. i look on it that if the docs can sit back then so can i. what do i know??? they're the experts and they will get to it soon enough, i'm sure. it is sound advice to stay positive cos only positive comes from positive and i do have faith. i trust in the Lord.
in the meantime, i try to keep smiling.
i wish you health and happiness very soon my friend and keep smiling you:)

I am glad your trying to keep a positive attitude through this. I can't imagine how hard it must be. At least you are at 50%. After your TX maybe they will get the rest of it. I will be praying for you.
