Hi Sarah,

I'm so glad to hear that no more nasties were found with your MRI. You've got quite a wait for your genetics consultation, but I hope that it all goes well. You will feel better to get your lumpectomy out of the way as soon as possible, so it's good to hear that you don't have too long to wait.

Keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Moira,

You will naturally be nervous, but it'll soon be over and, you'll wonder what all the worry was about.

I hope that it all goes well for you.

Kind regards,

Hi Nikki,

Sorry, I thought that it was last Thursday. I hope that it all goes well for you. It is always hard to quell our over imaginative thoughts re worst case scenario, but fortunately, this very seldom comes to pass. It does get easier once you have a treatment plan in place and start implementing it.

Kind regards,

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,

Jolamine xx

Hi Rosie,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mum and offer my sincere sympathy. I shall be thinking of you tomorrow and hope that all goes well for you.

You are not alone in not wanting to know any of the details, but they can be helpful when looking at your treatment options and long term prospects. Hopefully you have caught this early and all will be fine.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Nikki

Thanks for thinking about me, my results ftom the mammogram core biopsy are delayed so I'm back in that dark zone of navigating through life whilst this 'thing' lurks in my head.

Had a bit of a chat with the consultant who explained that I had a small chalky spot in my breast that was graded an M3 - hence the reason for the biopsies but it sounded better than how the radiologist and mammogram technicians described it and it was caught by chance as I went in about a swollen armpit & lymph node.

I just want to say I'm thinking about you, I don't have any tips to help you switch off from this as the process of waiting is undeniably indescribable.

Sending you a loving hug and I wait with anticipation for your results  on Thursday

Love from Lisa xxx

Wishing you luck tomorrow Rosie! You will cope with whatever they tell you, but I do hope it's good news!

My results day finally came and it was all strangely as I was expecting. Confirmed cancer. But grade 2, small tumour and treatable so I'm still incredibly grateful for that. It's likely I'll need a lumpectomy followed by radiotherapy and Tamoxifen. I can cope with that.

Not everyone was at the MDT meeting this morning so they're going to discuss my case again next week. I'll probably need an MRI scan before surgery to make sure nothing was missed (I have very dense breasts apparently) which could mean more biopsies and more waiting (please no!!!). But at least then they could operate on any other issues at the same time. 

So I am in the really weird position of having cancer and yet feeling quite grateful. 

Love to you all ️
