Hi Lara, thanks for the message. How is it all going? I'm preparing for the news so finding hearing other stories are helping x

My diagnosis was July 22 

honestky wasn’t as bad as I thought I promise you xx just had my first annual check all clear xx 

That's really good to hear. I am anxious at the moment until I know what I am dealing with. When you had scans did they pick up on enlarged lymph nodes? I think that's the thing I am most worrying about x

try not to worry to much this could come back clear .

my first appointment was a mamo after the msmo they called me in to another room said they got something suspicious they need to biopsy I then knew I could feel the atmosphere in the room change , they also told me for my appointment 7 days later to make sure my husband attended with me . From then I knew I was deffo getting I diagnosis .

at that point nothing felt in my nodes however I had a lunpectomy and node biopsy after that operation I had a teeny trace in one node so I then went on to have a 2 nd operstion rsmoving 30 nodes these came back clear .

this all sounds horrific but it really wasn’t don’t get me wrong I had uo and down days a few wobbles along the way .

I continued to work right through lived normal ignoring it and this worked for me as crazy as it sounds , I now feel one year on like it never happened life is fully back to normal and I don’t give it a thought , breast cancer treatment has come on a long way . 
I’m always here to chat lovely xxx love Lara xxx 

Hi Vanessa,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I had 3 cancer scares within the one year. My consultant thought that all 3 were suspicious. Fortunately, he was wrong about the middle one. When the biopsy results came back this was benign. Unfortunately, he was right about the other 2. I had 6 lymph nodes removed, but all were clear. However, that was 14 years ago and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life. Treatments have come a long way in the past few years.

You are bound to be worried at present, but try to remind yourself that no amount of worry will alter the outcome. I sincerely hope that all turns out well for you. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
