Im waiting on breast biopsy results, i get them on monday, the waiting is just dreadful, sometimes your gut feeling tells you what you know but this time i just dont know! Anyone feel or felt the same?
I kept saying that when my mum was diagnosed, I just couldn't believe it or process it and remember walking around saying those words, I kept saying it out loud in the supermarket down the cheese aisle and waiting in the playground of all places to say it, it is unbelievably surreal!!!
I've sent you a friend request and I just want you to know that if you need to talk or put the world to rights I'm good at listening.
We will get you through this Lucy, we really will - sending love to your family too xxxx
Im in total shock too, i didn't expect to hear this news either my heart goes out to you and your husband and family, you are a strong girl and you will get through this, we have the best surgeons in the world, we are in this together and behind you!
I have my op on Monday to remove this radial scar and i pray there is nothing behind it which there can be, a dreadful journey in our lifes but we will get there! everyone of you ladies are just an inspiration
Oh Lucy! I am shocked and so sorry to hear this news.
It completely blindsides you doesn't it? I still walk around and say it in my head... "I have cancer", it makes no sense to me.
feel how you need to feel, don't try and be brave. It's crap and you are allowed to feel that. I am also early steps of the journey so if you want to keep in touch, please do.
my name is Sarah, I have only just found this forum. I am 38 and was diagnosed Two weeks ago. I was completely shocked, and literally fell to the floor.
I went on my own as the GP thought it was probably nothing, I had an ultrasound, biopsy and Mammogram and was told on the Day they suspected Cancer. I had a Lumpectomy last Tuesday and Lymph node biopsy and get my Full results on the 10th Nov. At the moment it's Stage 1a Grade 2, they have said radiotherapy, and I will also have Tamoxifen for 5 years as mine is Oestrogen Fed. Not sure about Chemo as they will see when is comes back exactly the plan.
I found the waiting to the worst. I think I will feel better when I know what I'm dealing with.
I have two young sons, my husband and I are also really down about it all. We both have just lost our Dads to cancer so this has made it all feel worse.
we will get through this we are young and we will be okay. I'm here if you need me x
Thank you so much for your message. What you have had done is my plan up to now as long as MRI comes back with no spread. My lymph nodes were clear on ultrasound so she said it should just be lumpectomy, radiotherapy and Tamoxifen for 5 years. All to be confirmed though.
I will be thinking about you on the 10th when you get results. I'll be having my pre op on that day.
I'm sorry about both of your dads. Cancer really is the absolute devil. I'm marrried and have two children too.
Thankyou for the kind Reply. Yes Cancer is a Devil, my Dad only passed away on the 15th September so was hard telling my mum.
I didn't have an MRI maybe that will follow, mine is invasive Ductal Carsinoma, it's in my breast tissue not in the duct anymore and is around 16mm , My Lymph nodes were also clear on the ultrasound but I think they do a biopsy while they are there just to be sure.( I know every case is different)
I found my lump in the summer but didn't do anything until October, so pleased I did as I didn't want too.
The lumpectomy has been fine, I have tiny boobs but make sure you get a good front fastening bra, mine was a post op bra from marks and spenders and is great , my husband took the week off as it was half term, it's the Anestetic knocked me for six,. My arm pit is the most Sore but it's very manageable.
sorry if too much information I do tend too ramble
I hope yours goes well, have you had any results back? Sorry if you have already been through this the feed is soo long.
Thank you for all the info, it's so helpful. I'm terrible with general anaesthetic so dreading that part the most!
I went in with a lump and had mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy. They said at the time they were 50/50 as to whether it was cancer. My biopsy result showed no cancer but then did a vaccum biopsy to 'double check.'
The vacuum biopsy has detected invasive cancer. They said my breast tissue is really dense ( I have big boobs) and this is why they are doing an MRI so that they can see how much cancer is in there. They haven't named it yet but have just said stage 1-2 and said it's estrogen positive. She seems sure it's a small area but we'll see.
I only found my lump after Sarah Harding's death made me check. No idea how long it had been there. It's right underneath.
I'm so sorry about your dad. That is still very raw. Your poor mum. xx
