Hi Karenk,

A very warm welcome to our forum. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 12 years, plus a few false alarms, so I have been through a number of biopsies. All I can say, is that the wait never gets any easier. Most of us would say that this is one of the worst parts of our cancer journey, as thereare so many unknowns and uncertainties. 

I am glad to hear that you don't have much longer to wait. Try to keep yourself occupied with other distractions to help the time to pass a little quicker over the weekend.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi just joined this site reading different comments such an agonising wait for results I'm awaiting my appointment to see if my treatment has worked you feel so lonely at this moment hope all works out for you hang on in there my love thoughts are with you 

Thanks Jolamine,

I understand better now. Also got a booklet to read. It's been a bit of a dip today . from 21 first August noticing a difference  until being given an op date in 3 weeks and getting the mags seed inserted next Monday morning . . Just realised 2 months exactly. I feel so lucky  intervention has been so fast but today I was suddenly swept away on a tide of tears .Such an emotional time. Ups and downs.  Contacted cancer supppirt groups near home and hoping I'll get some support .

Thank you. We are all doing our best and we can do this. Xxxx

Evening all you lovely girls

Having been on my own for 4 years and just a few dates inbetween hes like a breath of fresh air! So supportive with everything thats going on and with all you girls ive had the pleasure of talking to im feeling the happiest ive felt in a few years and positive, think what we are all going through is so private meeting him and being lovely i feel there is so much positivity and it feels nice

Hi Moira,

There are lots of booklets on all aspects of breast cancer. Most of these are available at your local hospital, or available to download or to be posted out from the various cancer organisations. Don't worry about your weaker moments today. We all have days like this. In fact, you will find many alikening their  cancer journeys to the biggest and fastest rollercoaster ride you're ever likely to be on - up one minute and down the next.

I am glad to hear that you have contacted some local cancer support groups. Most of these are excellent and I am sure that you'll soon get some support from that quarter. You should get on fine next Monday morning. I didn't have any bother getting these inserted.

You can certainly do this and, we are always here to support you along the way.

Kind regards,

Wise words as always Jolamine.  It is rather like a rollercoaster as the ups and downs take you by surprise when you least expect. Thank you again.

Love and hugs

Hi June,

No doubt you are still feeling tender and not up to contacting us yet - there-s no hurry. I just wanted to let you know that we are all thinking of you and hope that your operation went well.

Hi

Omg I in so much pain , black and blue.

They cut from just under muddle breast bone all under to armpit. And removed nipple , replaced with a big rectangular shape...I also have another cut under arm , they removed 4 lymph node too. I get my results on 14th Oct and see consultant,  xxxx I

June  

Hi June,

I am so sorry to hear about the pain. This should settle over the next few days.You won't notce the scar under your arm with time. I expect that the large rectangular shape was to ensure that they got all of the cancer this time. Although none of this looks pretty at the moment, it will improve as it all heals. Are there any plans to reconstruct your nipple?

I know that the coming weeks will be an anxious time, but there shouldn't be any different news than that which you got after your biopsy. Here's hoping that your margins are clear this time.

Thinking of you and hoping that your pain reduces soon.

Kind regards,

Hi June,

Was the infected area larger than they originally thought? The lymph node removal is usually routine with surgery. Here's hoping that they are all clear. Start making a list of questions for next time you see your consultant now. It is easier to get this ready as certain thoughts pop into your head, rather than waiting until the last minute.

Think so....they cut fr breast bone all under breast to arm and a new one under arm and nip of course xx 

Hopefully they got it all xx yeah, reconstruction later after treatment needed has finished xx

June  

Hi June,

It's a lot to take in for now, but it sounds as if they should have got it all this time. It is normal to delay reconstruction until after you've had treatment.

Good morning june

Just been thinking about you and hope you are bearing up and just to say m sorry for not been in the conversstion  over the last few days got a filling at the dentist about a month ago and it wasnt settling, he took it out on thursday and ive had nothing but jip over the weekend so im thinking an infection is going on sp im phoning the dentist at 8.30 this morning, maxed out on solphadol and feel like *** with constant pain, so its just to send you my love and letting you know im thinking about you xxxx

Hi Karen

There is nothing worse than toothache xx hope it settles for you

I been poorly after opp, on antibiotics,  I have sore mouth with all top lip swollen , pain pain , black and blue.....I only hope mid Oct it is good news xxx hugs to all of you xx

June xxxxx

Hi Karen,

I'm sorry to hear about your toothache and hope that your dentist has been able to help you out today. I am due to get three teeth out tomorrow as a start to getting implants - unfortunately 3 of my front teeth -  and we're going away for a few days  straight after, so I'm just hoping that I can cope with a temporary plate and eat normally whilst we're away. I can't say that Im looking forward to it!

I hope that you're doing ok otherwise.

Hi jolamine

Sorry for not replying sooner, missed your message back, i hope you got on ok at the dentist abd are able to enjoy your time away, mouths still sore phoned the debtist yesterday ssid it  an take up to 2 weeks for pain, but filling then extraction so quite a bit of trauma they said and because i have fibromyalgia the pain is heightened anyway, sick looking at solphadol! the phrase doing my *** in springs to mind lol talking of doing my *** in lol im going to hospital on Tuesday morning 9am to get the mag seed put in so dont think its going to be to long now for surgery to have this radial scar taken out, find out then if its attached to the breast wall see if anything sinister is going on behind it hoping not obviously! Cant wait till its all over, if everything is benign what a journey it has been and i take my hat off to every one of you what you have all went through and going through, the love life is still going well never met such a supportive man who has came into my life and is non judgemental and very caring, it has certainly helped even though i have friends and family, I always say everything happens for a reason so heres hoping everything works out

Love Karen xxxx
