@doublec The NHS silicone prothesis is really good, but in hot weather I found it made me feel uncomfortable. I switched to a swimming one a friend gave me instead because it can breath more and felt less sweaty.
That's interesting you find the knitted knocker comfortable at night - I don't currently wear anything when I sleep, but it's not always easy to get comfortable. A missing boob feels so weird at night when you lie on that side doesn't it.
How funny we're bra size twins - although you're the slimmer twin with 28f😀
@Octopus45 You've got very good 'ingredients' there for a good prognosis.
I really enjoyed the eyelash posts. How observant of @lucysmam to notice one eyelash! I only noticed mine once they were all back, but really really short and tiny. Mine are still growing towards their pre-chemo length; they seem to grow very slowly. But it's wonderful to have eyelashes again isn't it. Lovely haiku @Florabritannica are you a poet?
@EachandEveryone It must be so tough not knowing what or where the primary is. Cancer makes me feel so insecure and I know exactly what my primary is, so I can't imagine the extra anxiety not knowing must give. I hope they can solve that mystery at least.
@DollyDaisyDo Thanks for your reply. I hope you continue to live a long and happy life cancer free!
@Tilllly how is your eye today? I hope it's feeling a bit better.
I saw an article today online about a woman who had exactly the same cancer as me: stage 3, grade 3, Her2-positive breast cancer. It sounds like a year after treatment they diagnosed Covid lung but it was actually the cancer back in her lungs and when they realised that she was then given 2 weeks to live and has now passed away. Very, very young, in her 30s.
It's unbelievable the doctors thought it was Covid (she tested negative) when she'd so recently had such a locally advanced and aggressive form of BC. Bad enough they don't scan us, but when symptoms start you'd expect them to think of possible cancer before anything else; poor poor lady and her family.
