  • Hi June,

    I've just had a 15mm Tumour removed and SNB. This was picked up on a routine mammogram. I'm told it's been caught early and the cancer is grade one. I'm hoping this is a good thing. Get my full results tomorrow How are you doing now, I've been reading your posts. HABE X

    Hi Jane,

    I'm glad to hear that you have had your tumour removed and hope that you are feeling ok. We are fortunate to have routine mammography to pick up on these symptoms early, lthough I'm sure that the diagnosis came as a shock. Do you know what type of breast cancer you have? Grade 1 is good news and is treatable, which is the important thing.

    I hope that all goes well for you tomorrow.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi Jolimine,

    Its invasive ductal carcinoma. I've had lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy....my lymph nodes looked fine on the scan so I'm hoping they're clear.

    Then they did a wide local excision and perforator flap...removed nipple and did  sentinel node biopsy...

    This time it was clear , grade 2...so...this should be reassuring for you...chin up

    Am sure it will be ok...thinking of u xxx

    Hi Jane,

    This all sounds fairly positive. Here's hoping that you get good news today.

  • Hi Jolamine,

    I had my follow up appt today and was told the tumour was 19mm grade 2. My lymph nodes were clear and there was a clear margin around the tumour. I'll be having radiotherapy and take letrozole for 10 years. This all sounds quite positive so I'm relieved. I still have some anxiety about it coming back but hope my fears will ease as living on your nerves is exhausting! Thanks for your replies and best wishes to everyone.

    Hi Jane,

     I am delighted to hear that your lympg nodes and margins are both clear. This must be a relief for you.

    Radiotherapy and Letrozole are both a challenge, but are 'doable'. We all worry about recurrence but this is something that we have to learn to live with.

    Keep in touch.

    Kind regards,

    Hi June,

    How did you check up with the consultant go on 20th? Did he have any advice about your hormone tablets and what about your treatment plan?

    I hope that you're less sore now and coping better.

    Kind regards,

  • Hello Ladies

     

    I hope you don't mind me invading the chat , I've been reading through and you all seem so lovely.  I was recalled to the breast clinic on 15th October after my 1st mammogram and ended up having 3 core biopsies and a vacuum biopsy. I've been referred directly to my local hospital who are seemingly having a meeting about me tomorrow and will then contact me.  I felt I was doing fine with it all until I had a total meltdown yesterday & today hasn't been too much better.  My friends & work have been great but i just feel a bit like they don't get it. 

     

  • Hi Val, I'm sorry to hear this, I didn't get recalled after a mammogram as I found a lump first, but my mammogram showed microcalcifications and so like you I had a core biopsy (but on the lump) and four weeks later a steriotactic vacuum assist biopsies under mammogram, for which I'm still waiting the results from those latest ones. We will all totally understand the emotions you are feeling, it's such a rollercoaster. Have they said how and when they will contact you after the meeting tomorrow? Thinking of you and here with any support you need - hugs Mickey x
