Opportunity October

[Octopus45]

Hi ladies, here is the new thread.

I'm probably not going to be posting much cause I've just been diagnosed with breast cancer. They've caught it early. Obviously weight loss goals are right off the agenda, but will be trying to eat some healthy stuff when I can.

@Octopus45 I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I will be thinking of you and sending you positive thoughts x

Thanks LBB2020

Gosh, what a shock for you. Wishing you the very best health and positivity for treatment and recovery.

Thanks @Silverdogblue .

I had an appointment on Wednesday and they confirmed that its in the early stages. I'm going to need surgery, it might be a mastectomy and reconstruction, cause the lump is just behind my right nipple. I've got to go for an MRI on Tuesday and I've got an appointment the following week to discuss surgery. I imagine it will be in November.

I've also got to start taking anti oestrogen tablets in a couple of weeks which I suspect will make it harder for me to keep my weight down. I've lost a very small amount of weight, I was 8st11 the other day but went to meet an old friend yesterday and stayed overnight with her. It involved quite a bit of eating and some drink.

Hope everyone is having a good month so far.

Sending you all the best wishes @Octopus45, I’m so sorry you’re going through this

Thanks @LBB2020. I still cannot quite believe it, hope you are ok

Happy Halloween ladies, here is the new thread for November.
