Hi Jane,

I'm doing ok although I've had a busy couple of days so not really had time to think about things but woke up today feeling so worried about the results tomorrow. I feel sick! Just need to know now.

Sending massive hugs. Let me know how you get on tomorrow, I'll be thinking about you xx
 

Will do honey and the same with you.

Oh Jane the hospital just phoned to cancel my appointment as my results aren't back yet. I'm gutted. I was so psyched up. I can't face the thought of more waiting. 
Really hope your appt goes well, I'll be thinking of you.

Best wishes

Oh Mandy, that is so frustrating for you.  I have been hoping the hospital would phone me today to say they have seen the results and everything is ok but the phone call never came. When is your next appointment? I know that at my local hospital, the results come back and a DMT Meeting is held on Monday morning then they come up with an action plan.

Just remember no news is good news but this does not stop the anxiety of waiting.

I have just been pacing around the house all day, I cant eat or drink as I am too worried, how do you feel?

Jane xx

Oh yes that's what she said that the DMT meeting were chasing them. I don't have a new date. She is going to ring me tomorrow with an update but clinic is Monday and Tuesday so guessing too late for tomorrow if they do come back so next Monday or Tuesday but I'm away on Monday Awful situation. 
 

Do you have someone going with you?

Yes, my husband is coming with me. Do you have someone to go with you?

xx

Oh honey, that is so frustrating. Dont know how close you are to me otherwise I would offer to come with you.

xx

Oh bless you, she'll find a way I'm sure but if not my mum would always come with me. Pray that my results arrive tomorrow and they can see me!! Do let me know how you get on. Keep smiling xx

Hi Mandy

what a day!!!!

Long story short........

No cancer but they have found a DCIS. Which means the cells could turn into cancer if left. The area of my calcifications is 9cms but spread out. Because these cells are pre-cancerous, they may never turn into cancer but they have the chance to change. My lymph node came back clear. The best option I have is a masectomy.  This sounds terrifying but in reality, it isnt. They remove the breast tissue and do an implant at the same time, which can be done under day surgery. I willl have one perky breast whilst my other one is not so perky. lol . But the NHS will give me a breast lift on the not so perky one should I need it and being a 36DD, a breast lift would be so welcome, with or without pre-cancerous cells.  The relief of knowing is so good, my imagination has been running wild, this is a walk in the park. I think the word "masectomy" sounds worse then it is. I see the plastic surgeon in a week and then the consultant a week after to make my decision.  I can either have an implant or plastic surgery using tissue from my stomach which is similar to a cesaerean so the recovery is slightly longer.They plan on doing the surgery at the end of August. I feel so relieved that I should not need any treatment after surgery as it is such an early diagnosis.

I think of it as similar to having a mole removed, just slightly a larger area.

Hope you are feeling ok and not too anxious.

Please feel free to ask me any questions and also let me know how you get on.

Big hugs......

The waiting is the worst thing, once you get your results you feel so much better and more in control.

Jane
