Newbie Breast Cancer

Diagnosis 14th February breast cancer further  5 biopsies in armpit 

luckily armpit negative meeting last week they are going to do chemo first, was hoping for surgery first as you hear the word and it’s like cut it out, after discussing it with the doctor they are hoping to contain it and then surgery so now the waiting for an appointment with the chemotherapy department to discuss treatment it seems forever waiting trying to stay positive

  • Hi Traccie, you have been diagnosed really quickly and been lucky enough to not need surgery yet. That's a big plus! Also that you are already waiting on an oncology appointment. 

    I was diagnosed in September 2023, I only had my first oncology meeting this week.

    I had two lumpectomies in the space of 4wks the first one included two lymph node removals.

    I waited over 6wks for the results of my last lumpectomy that was 3 days before christmas. Then after that 6wks had to wait until March this week for my first oncology appointment.

  • Wow I didn’t realise x how do you cope I’m so inpatient  and can’t deal with not knowing thank you for the reply
