Hi Missrooboo,

I am so sorry to hear this. Waiting for results is always a worrying time, but I'm glad to hear that you don't have too long to wait. The best thing to do is to find things to do, that distract you from the thought of cancer and to keep as busy as you can - not easy, I know!

I was told at my first visit that it looked like cancer and it was. Six months later, I was told the same again and it wasn't. A further six months on and I got a second primary diagnosis. I had a lumpectomy first time around and a double mastectomy the second time. That was 14 years ago now and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life. As LCR has already said, "it will be a rollercoaster, with good days and bad, but we are always here for you. You will find it helpful to write down a list of any questions you may have, prior to your appointment.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Many thanks, I’m in for a lumpectomy on 4th September so I’ve not too long to wait xx

Hi Missrooboo,

I am glad to hear that all is happening fairly quickly - the sooner you start, the sooner you can put all of this behind you. Have you been told what type and stage your cancer is?

Kind regards,

No they said it’s grade 2 but they can’t stage it until it’s removed. It’s an invasive one that’s come from my milk ducts. They said it’s hormonal xx

Hi Missrooboo,

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's still a fairly low grade.

Kind regards,
