Just diagnosed- I think?!

Hi everyone,

I have been diagnosed by a lymph node biopsy which showed dead cancer cells (necrosis) I am now having further breast cancer tests due to mammogram not showing anything. I have been in shock as I thought I just had an infection and the waiting for full diagnosis and plan is hard.

I have CT and MRI tomorrow (already had bloods and more biopsies) then results on Friday. They always ask if I have any questions but as I’ve been stunned I’ve not thought of anything. At this stage what should I be asking? What questions did you wish you had asked?

Thanks

  • Hello RhiRhiC84 and welcome to our online community.

    I'm sorry to hear what was found during your biopsy and for the worry this and the further tests you are having is causing.

    Waiting for news is very tough but our members are here for you RhiRhiC84, and hopefully it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their thoughts and advice.

    You can also talk things through with our team of cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions and help you figure out what to ask at your next appointment.

    Do let us know how you get on when you can. We'll be thinking of you on Friday and will have our fingers crossed for good news.
