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.

  • Hiya 

     

    I am new to the forum and I am so worried as well.

    I found a lump on my right breast a couple of days ago and i have an appointment with my gp next Thursday...the waiting game is the hardest ...I cannot stop crying and thinking the worst...it is really hard .

     

    I hope you get some great results .

  • You too it's a worrying  time for sure.  I feel exactly  the same.  My best day this week as so busy at work.  Distraction  seems to be the best thing right now. Hope your results are good too x

  • Hi lovely really feel for you on the body aches I've hardly had any touch wood. Had scan today they where pleased.  I was 1.5 to 2 and now 1.3 so only a little but going in the right direction.  They said it's the herceptin which targets the cancer and that's what will zap it.  Onwards and upwards next Thursday is d day on the new treatment and I'm going 3 weekly still.  Enjoy your good days Elvia.  Hope both you girls have a great weekend ️

  • Hello Elvira114 just checking in to see how your doing.  How are you finding the new chemo and the fact that it's weekly? I'm still 3 weekly on the new one and go for my fifth on 10th Feb.  Have you found it any easier weekly? I've found this new one a bit worse and was going to discuss the weekly option at my review so keen to have your take on it.  I can't believe we have got so far on the journey and I'm sending much love as your so close now.  Keep going hun xxxxx

  • Hiya Madgee 

     

    So very nice to hear from you !

     

    I am.ok, I I recovering still from the operation and still off work till mod Feb. I actually had a call from my clinical nurse today to tell me my scan was clear and I do not need another operation.  Also that I do not need chemo for now and at te moment it will be radiotherapy and hormone blockers .

    I have my appointment next week and I am so relieved. 

     

    How are you ? How are the chemo sessions going my dear? 

    I was thinking about you two ladies last week but I wanted to wait till I had some more news from my doctor. 

    8 hope you feel strong and hopefully the chemo will come to end soon !

    Stay strong and positive.  Sending g lots of love and hugs

  • Absolutely  fantastic  news I'm so pleased for you.  Onwards and upwards once yr fully recovered  pop it in a box and enjoy every day hun.  Well done great news xxxxxx

  • Hi Madgee, 

    Lovely hearing from you! Sorry for the late response. I had chemo last Wednesday (my 4th EC) and it wiped me out for a few days :) I'm moving onto weekly chemo on the 16th of Feb and am hoping it will be easier! 

    I'm sorry to hear your new one is a bit worse :( Which one are you getting, was it docetaxel? Definitely worth asking about the weekly option, I will let you know as soon as I had my first one how it is!!

    Have you had any conversations yet about surgery? I had an appointment with my surgeon yesterday and have some thinking to do about reconstruction options, but overall she was really positive so have been in a great mood since haha! 

    I hope you're doing ok with the side effects at the moment lovely, remember how far we've already gotten!! Xxx

  • Good morning lovely, Really pleased you have had a positive meeting with surgeon that's fab news.  Not something that's been mentioned to me yet but didn't have a review before my new chemo and have one on 10th which is my next and 5th chemo. Yes I'm on Doxitaxcel and Herceptin this time.  Had an ok week this week just very dry sore eyes not sure if that's the chemo.  Please let me know how you get along and which surgery option you choose.  I wasn't aware there would be a choice so really pleased for you.  Keep going where on the home straight as far as chemo goes thank goodness.  Lots of love Elvira xxx
