Hi there,

I was diagnosed with Tubular breast cancer grade one in my left side and Invasive Lobular breast cancer grade two in the right. I then had an MRI to confirm it all before having surgery in March.

Although I am futher down the road than you, those initial days of helplessness and worry are still very fresh and, like you, I wanted to know any and every detail.

Lots of luck for tomorrow and please let us know how you get on.

Thank you Brian,

I am glad you are a happier person than you were before ,I guess this sort of thing does wake us up.We usually tend to think we are immortal ,even though common sense and losing our loved ones should make it abundantly clear ,we are anything but immortal.

Hi Millimp,

I do most humbly aplogise for getting your name wrong.

Take care, best wishes, Brian.

Hello Sue,

Thank you for your reply,and your information. So like you say ,you are that bit further on than myself .However like you also say ,it is still fairly new to you too, the worries the fears etc.

I hope you go on well with your treatment ,I should know tomorrow what they are going to give me .

At least last week they said if it is the type they think it is I would be given tablets.

But I still won`t know the reuslts of the CT tomorrow, or of the bone scan I have next Monday.

I will get there ,it is like Brian says about the emotions.

I will say bye for now Sue

and will keep in touch in here

Hi Milly are you really an imp? how lovely that you have a good sense of humour in your name. I am just one week away now from my op and have found the emotional part harder than the cancer part to be honest. I can deal with needing the op and the consultant is wonderful and the nurses very kind. The hospital has a specialist breat unit so I have peace f mind. But only for the op the rest of my life feels in turmoil as I face up to my mortality. The hardest thing has been sleeping or rather not sleeping. Your brain plays such tricks on you. Loving family support really helps, but joining this Forum was a breakthrough for me. So many caring people and seeing you are not alone, it has finally settled my mind and I am sleeping again. Good luck for today, I am glad they have done scans that will help your diagnosis and treatment. Stay in the forum and let us know how it goes. I think the feeling that now you are in a safe community of cancer friends is inspiring. debx

Hello Debbie,

Many thanks for your posting and kind words.

I guess I really am an IMP ,or at least so I am told often enough.

Yes Debbie I too find the emotional parts harder ,I had my results yesterday of most of the tests,but still got another 3 to come back.

I did the CT scan last night ,and have a bone scan next Monday ,so waiting for those results to come back . so sometime next week I should get those two, and I am not sure what the other one is for .

They results I have got are good ones,I am being prescribed Tablets as it is the hormone based type .

I too have a good hospital,with very good nice Consultants ,Doctors and nurses . This does make a huge difference

I hope all goes well for you on the 19th,but I am sure it will do. keep in touch and let me know how you are doing please
