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 lovely

  • How are you Elvira  have you turned  a vorner and feeling well!?  When is yr next chemo? Xxxx

  • Hi Madgee,

     

    So good to hear form you and so lovely to think about me.

    I am OK, everything went well and going home later on today. I was terrified on Thursday but I am glad it's finished!!

    I do feel very tired and a bit tight in my tummy but I am hoping a good night sleep at home will do me  good .

    How are you my dear?have you had another chemo session?.are you feeling OK?

     

    Elvira114 how are you my lovely?all OK?

    I am sending lots of hugs to both of you .

     

  • On your way to recovery lovely. Its gone I know it will take a while to recover but you will have all this behind you soon.  No better place than your own bed.  Hope you can take it easy rest and enjoy Christmas. Do not over do it listen to yr body.  I did chem 2 on Thursday  and it kicked in quite quick so had a really tough night.  I'm m much better now my meds have kicked in but have spent last 2 days on sofa but just resting and listening  to my body.  Can't believe 2 done passing quicker than I thought. Loads of love to you remember rest keep on top of your meds and let everyone  look after you.  Bet you can't wait to see your little girl. 

  • Thank you so so much Madgee! Yes definitely I will need to take it easy and rest but the best medicine will be a big hug from my daughter, I missed her so much!!

     

    I am so happy the 2nd session has finished ! Well done my lovely!  You done it , you are so strong !!

    Have a good rest and enjoy your Saturday afternoon. 

    I will message you during the week to check how you are

  • Hi lovelies,

    Sorry for not being around much! I've changed jobs 2 weeks ago and it has been the best distraction, but also very tiring. 
    I'm so glad you're both doing ok! V1234- so proud you've got it behind you now and you seem to be coping very well. Onwards and upwards now!! ️
    Madgee- how has the 2nd round been treating you? Hope you're taking all the rest and drinking all the fluids?

    My second round is on Monday and starting to get a bit anxious again. I know a bit better what to expect now, but that's also a downside haha! At least I know I can do it.. I've done it once before right?! 
    I have some aches all around (last week my breast was sore, currently my joints and lower back hurts) and I hate the fact that all these meds do things to your body, and it will be most likely that, but that it spirals me into thinking the worst. I'm generally quite positive, but sometimes I really hate this disease. 
     

    Sorry for the long rant, but I knew you ladies would understand. Lovely hearing from you both! ️

  • Hi lovely massive  congratulations on your new job I had my chemo Thursday  and it was a little different to first  one.  My first I didn't crash for 3 days nut this time I crashed  after 3 hours.  Terrible first night with nausea  but have got on top of that with back up sickness pills I take them if I don't need them 3 a day and it keeps it at bay.  I had a review before chemo and she gave me 5 days extr a steroids to try and ease the crash do will let you  know if that helps.  I also had lots of aches and pains, breast, armpit and upper back but she checked pet scan and reassured me.  I think chemo does give joint ache as a side effect. Just think when we do January were half way there.  We've got Christmas  to enjoy also.  We can do this hun. Have a lovely  Sunday and hope Monday  goes OK.  Lots of water  and rest.  Lots of love to you  

  • So happy to hear from you Elvira114 !! So strong ,both of you ,I cannot believe what you are going through!!

    Very proud for both  of you

    Have a good rest. Good luck for tomorrow my dear I know you can do this .

     

     

  • Thanks ladies ️ So happy to hear from you both! 
    how are you doing now V1234? Are you feeling ok? Have you seen your daughter meanwhile?! 
     

    Madgee- I guess every round we learn more on how to deal with the side effects, I'm glad you've been able to keep sickness at bay after the first night. Prevention is definitely the right call I think, sickness and nausea is horrible. And hope the steroids help with the crash too! Are you feeling ok at the moment? also thank you for telling me about your aches and pains, I'm sorry to hear you also have them but it is nice to hear I'm not the only one, we are in this together!! 

    I'll keep you ladies posted on round 2. I'll try to make sure to drink enough this round!! Love to you both ️

  • Hello Elvira and V1234

    i just wanted to chdck in on you both and wish you a wonderful Christmas.  V1234 I really hope your healing process is going well and your not over doing it.  Are you feeling much better mentally now the operation is out of the way love?  I hope you are getting excited for Santas arrival and your daughters face on Christmas morning.  Elvira how are you my love? I'm hoping your starting to turn a corner following Chemo 2.  I found no 2 much harder than the first in terms of how long it's taken to rally round and nausea this time.  I have however started to pick up and apart from being very tired I am enjoying the run up to Christmas after I picked up yesterday.  I'm aware you might not quite be there yet.  The one blessing is that hopefully we will both get a nice Christmas Day which I'm aware so many won't.  Sending love to you it's definitely not easy but our January treatment sees us at the half way mark which is unbelievable. I'm sending so much love to you both and preying that Christmas is a special time for you both.  Enjoy yr families and the little things.  Love to you both ️
