Hi Jolamine, 

Thank you for your lovely reply ️ 

I’m in Birmingham and didn’t go on the hen weekend it didn’t feel right. 
My mum let me feel and look at her breast the lump is vert hard and definitely has nodules on, her breast is swollen and warm also her nipple is being pulled. I’m very concerned and I’m glad I didn’t go. 

her appointment is tomorrow just hope it’s all ok x x 

Hi Rebecca,

I'm sure that both you and your mum will feel happier that you can both attend her consultation tomorrow. I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is found. 

Please let us know how she gets on.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Jolamine, 

I’m afraid it’s not good news it’s.breast cancer. The tumour is very large. Biopsy has been taken to find out what cancer it is and a scan to see if it’s spread. I’m shocked and devastated for my Mum but she has been so strong today. 

she’s asking if I’m ok! She has a battle but she will win 

Thank you for your kindness when I was lost.

Tried to add emoji but unfortunately didn’t quite work, hope it won’t feel too long a wait to hear more about treatment.

Also replied to you within this thread yesterday as well in case may have got missed 

Thank you for your reply it’s a waiting game now such a shock can’t really believe it at the moment x

You’re welcome, ok 

Hi Rebecca,

I am so sorry to hear this. Waiting for biopsy results is always a worrying time, but try to stay away from consulting "Dr Google". Much of the information is poorly researched, out of date and aimed at the more sensational cases. This won't give you or your mum any answers, but will only serve to scare you both further. I know what a shock this is, but it gets easier once you know exactly what she is dealing with.

She has a tough fight, but she'll get through it.

Please let us know how her results go.

Kind regards,

Hi Rebecca,

Has you mum had her results back yet?

Hi Jolamine, 

My mum has Invasive Ductal Carcinoma stage 3, T4, ES positive Progesterone negative HER2- negative lots of lymph nodes involved. She’s having a mastectomy plus chemotherapy. It’s going to be a rough 12 months ahead of her but she’s strong and she has lots of love and support ️ Thank you for asking x 

Hope the months ahead could be ok for both of you, had a couple of times used the option to message directly (and could be possible to see one’s received by clicking on the downwards arrow in top corner of screen and then the speech bubble icon or if still unable to then by reading through the Forum Help topics)

Thank you ️ it’s a horrible situation but doing our best to keep positive x

Yes that’s understandable, hope it could continue to stay that way  and had messaged directly as well 

Hi Rebecca,

I am so sorry to hear this. It will be a challenging year, but it's all perfectly "doable", especially when she has so much love and support. I had a double mastectomy for my second bout, so feel free to ask if either of you have any questions. Fortunately, that was all 15 years ago.

Please keep in touch and let us know how your mum gets on. We are always here for both of you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
