I know what you mean. When I was told,  I couldn't take it all in, was expecting to be told I'd have radiotherapy then hormone therapy so when they started telling me I needed more surgery no clear margins and node involvement I wemt into a daze and just wanted to run out the consulting room. 

You're bc nurse will probably be really helpful, I had to ring mine so they could explain what was going on.  It was a lot clearer when they talked to me. Still felt crap but more informed.

Good luck xx

Yes keep me posted and best of luck for getting more information and answers.

Sending hugs and positive vibes too

Hi all. I've  spoken to my bcn today. I have more information now and although I'm not sure of the implications I feel more informed.  

My tumour was 13mm. The cancer cells found in the lymph node were micro something so I'm guessing tiny? I'm currently stage 2a  grade 3 but that's subject to change if they find cancer cells in the lymph nodes following the next surgery.  I've written down 3 positive herceptin? And oestrogen negative,  which I believe is a good thing? I'm still classed as having early breast cancer.  My ct scan is Friday morning with results the following Wednesday afternoon.  Crossing everything for a clear scan xxx hope we're all doing OK

Hi Donna

Glad you're more informed now. The not knowing is difficult and at least its still early bc.

Hope the ct scan goes well on Friday. I have my second op next Thursday 13th and been for pre op today only to be telephoned and told it wasn't going ahead until 3rd February as they had an urgent case in, then after phoning everyone had another call to say actually it is going ahead. I'm totally stressed out tbh. 

Good luck on Friday...sure all will be well

Love and best wishes

Julia

Hi Donna I'm glad you have spoken to the BCN and are clearer about what is going on. I think it helps to get yr head around things better when we know. Good luck with the rest of your treatment x
