Well unfortunately my biopsy came back positive for breast cancer and tomorrow I begin a journey with surgery. After the shock came the fear and now there is the 'lets get on with it.' I haven't been in hospital since I was 10years old and I'm trying to pack. There are books - lots of books, photos, music, earplugs, food and of course pyjamas that match. I don't think I've owned a pair of these for many years.
In the corner of the room sits a pile of essentials that I may need later. One of the items is a high impact, shock absorbant sports bra. How ironic - 3 days before surgery for breast cancer I am out buying a sports bra - apparently it will 'hold my new bits' together and help them 'settle.'
Hmmmm. Still trying to process that one.

I was hoping against hope that the biopsy would turn out to be clear. I'm so sorry that hasn't happened.
thinking of you and your family. Stay strong.
*hugs*
Best of luck with the op x
Such massive steps have been made with breast cancer treatment. My old mum has had it twice - guess it would be hard to have it three times - once at forty and again at fifty. She's now 77 :)
Thinking of you.x
So sorry to hear this. Wishing you all the very, very best.

Dad first gave my brother and me the "Mom might not come home from the hospital" talk in 1960. We had the talk two or three times after. When she finally passed away in 1998 it was not from cancer.
I won't tell you not to be frightened, you'd be foolish if you weren't. But I will tell you that as scary as cancer is, it's beatable. It gets beaten all the time. There are a lot more of us survivors running around than you might think.
Your life is going to change, but it is not going to end. You're going to go through, but you are not going to go under.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hang in there, kid.
Sending positive thoughts and healing prayers your way, NN.
Thinking about you, Cx
I hope the operation will sort things out for you. As others have said, this thing is beatable and I'll be keeping everything crossed x
Big hugs and all the very best to you. JJxxx

So sorry to read this. Very best of luck. xxx
Oh no, I'm so sorry. I so wanted it to be clear. I hope the operation goes as smoothly as it can in the circumstances. I don't know if you've discovered alrighttit's blog (http://alrighttit.blogspot.com/) but it might help prepare you for what's to come and you (hopefully) won't feel so alone knowing she's been through it and come out the other side.
I'll be thinking of you x
Thoughts and prayers are with you.
All the very best for the operation and here's hoping for a speedy recovery. x
Sending positive thoughts, hugs, and as much virtual support as I can squeeze down this little phone line.

...as opposed to practical support which, it seems, you already have organised!
So sorry to hear this. Know that you've got a lot of people out there wishing you all the best for a full and speedy recovery.

Best wishes and good luck. I hope they get it all.
Sorry to be so late to send you my very best wishes. x
So sorry to be late in sending you my very best wishes. Here's sending you many positive vibes.
Thank you so much for all your positive thoughts here and for sharing some of your own stories with me - it really does mean a lot. I'll blog soon and give an update but I'm out the other side of surgery and doing wel which is a great feeling!
