New and advice needed

Advice needed please ref breast cancer. I had my first appointment this Tuesday just gone. Had mammogram, ultrasound and biopsies taken of breast and lymph node. The test results are back next Thursday. By the way the nurse was talking they are pretty sure it’s cancer, though I know they can sometimes be wrong. The nurse was talking about lumpectomy and radiotherapy at the very least. I am struggling with psoriatic arthritis at the moment. I am taking a biologic for this, I have been on it no more than a few months. My question is has anyone else been on a biologic and diagnosed? It’s taken  18 months to get on the biologic and from what I understand I will have to stop the biologic. Has anyone else been in this position? Already on so much medication with the psoriatic arthritis at the moment. It’s all very overwhelming at the moment. 

  • Sorry to hear this. New to the site too and waiting my breast biopsy results. Just asking out of interest. What biologic are you on. I’m on a biologic for Crohns called adalimimab. I’ve been on it for almost 9 months. 

  • Hi sorry just saw your reply. I am on secukinumab (cosentyx). I am on it for psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis, Good luck with your results. With my biologic I had it every week for 5 weeks then it goes to monthly. Had first monthly 2 weeks ago. Not seen any improvement with it yet but I know it can take a good few months to work.
