The waiting game

I'm so glad I found this forum and now know that waiting for results is difficult for everyone at times I think I'm just a negative person but it seems the waiting game is tough.  I had duct ecstasia around 8 years ago with no reoccurrence.  I recently decided I would get the lump checked behind my left nipple but wasn't concerned as my nipple has been inverted for 8 years and I fully expected to be told it's duct blockage again.  Came as a shock to find that's not likely. .  3 biopsies on lump and one in Lymph node.  Words used like worried and highly suspicious during consultation.  To be honest I'm in shock that awful sick feeling in your tummy and another ten days till results appointment.  I asked some direct questions but obviously she wouldn't commit till results are in but in her experience I will be having treatment. Keeping as busy as I can but an emotional wreck right now. Relieved to hear this is the norm for most of you awaiting results. 

  • How are you doing ladies?  Hope your picking up Elvira and having a few better days.  How are you V1234 hope you have a lovely weekend and your not to anxious, try enjoy the next few days. Lots of love to you both xxxxx

     

  • Hi Madgee - I've been doing ok actually! Started to feel a lot better on the weekend, headache was finally completely gone and was able to go out for lots of walks with the dog :)

    I have been having issues with my port arm. It's sensitive and difficult to stretch etc. But I had an ultrasound today and everything looked fine so they said just to keep an eye on it. I have my next appointment with the oncologist on Tuesday so hoping we're all still on track so far.

    How have you ladies been doing?? Madgee is your next session on Monday? Assuming you will have blood test soon, and you feeling ok?

    sending love! Xxx

  • Hi Madgee ,

     

    So good to hear from you.  I hope you are well and I hope you both are  feeling stronger! 

    I am OK,  I had  a few blood tests this week and started some iron tablets because my haemoglobin was a bit low. 

    Next Thursday is my operation but I am having g every day next week an appointment so I am hoping it will be a quick week so I won't think about my operation!!

    We have put our Christmas tree up yesterday and trying to keep things normal for my little girl..but it can be difficult sometimes.

    I hope you are both having a good night and have a lovely, relaxing and cosy weekend. 

    Sending all my love to you both. Xxxx

  • So glad you have turned a corner Hun.  It is brutal and I think what makes the first one worse is you feel like your not going to turn that corner when your poorly andbits all do unknown.  I'm hoping that now I've experienced the pattern when I'm really poorly I can tick the days off and no there are some really good days to follow. I'm not going till Thursday as they have bundled all my appointments together.  I've got bloods at 9, oncology review st 10 and Chemo st 11.  So 3 days out but all in one go.  Making the most of feeling really good and managed to get my covid booster in today.  I got in the garden, have had walks and just enjoyed feeling well.  Enjoy the rest before next treatment lovely we can do this, one down ! Lots of love stay positive xxxx

  • Great to hear from you V1234, sounds like a very busy week which will pass.  I will be thinking of you on the 9th as that's my next Chemo but you will be okay and are in the best of hands.  So pleased the tree is up and bet your little girl is super excited. I did think of you as saw a heart shaped pillow which apparently is very comfortable to aid sleep following surgery and also compresses can be soothing, have a google or follow Mary Huckle and Julia Bradbury on Instagram if you have it.  Might be worth ordering one.  Take care and remember the journey isn't forever and you can do this.  Lots of love xxxx

  • Hi Madgee and Elvira114,
