Hey Lorna. Sorry to hear but hey it is what it is. It took me awhile to get my head around the "c" word. You're on the radar and will be treated. That's the best thing.

You got this - hang in there.

Sending you a big hug Lorna we are all here for you when you are ready x 

Hi Lorna

So sorry to hear your news. Give yourself chance to absorb what you’ve been told. The medics are onto it now and that’s good. A plan is in the making... Welcome to the train. We’re all here with you. All in different carriages but all wishing you well.

So sorry to hear your news Lorna. I know exactly how you feel. I expected to hear it was skin cancer so the breast cancer diagnosis completely floored me. 

What have they told you so far and what tests are you having? 

I get the results of my tests next Thursday and hopefully a treatment plan.

unfortunately I get false negatives on my ECG and have in the past paid for an ultrasound scan which showed my heart to be normal. I hope this doesn’t hold things up.

i am told that once you get that plan it becomes easier. This limbo period is very difficult.

on the good side there has been a huge outpouring of love from all my friends and family.

The news I didn't wanna see this morning. Really sorry for you Lorna. Life is cruel as all of us on here are well aware of. Give yourself a bit of time to cry, be angry, scream etc....then find that fighting spirit in you. Keel your chin up and massive hugs xx

Hi dragonfly

Have they mentioned what potential treatment u will b having yet. Re your op ... just t say as standard at my hospital we were offered to have a local anaesthetic and watch or listen to music. I was in a day room with 4 other ladies...we all declined opting for a general anaesthetic. One of our ladies on here the lovely [@Chriss]‍ Due to health issues was not given the option and was told it would b local for her recent op.... she chatted with the team as she had it .....I smile as I wrote that cos it is so our Chriss ....did I mention she’s lovely :-). 

Anyway....everyone is different but just wanted to say there are often options to assist in the delivery of treatment :-) 

hang in there lass u too will get there ️

Hi sundial

hows it going :-)

hope u nd yrs are well nd the click of knitting needles is filling the air at home :-) x

Morning peeps 

the bad :- gotta b honest this had me torn ....at school this morning I heard a mum broach the subject of Xmas jumper day at school with the teacher...missed when it was so hung around to check cos daughter hadn’t mentioned it. The next mum in front of me was quite sharp with the teacher saying it was disgraceful cos she would not b buying an Xmas jumper for 1 day. Poor teacher tried t calm her down by saying we are not allowed to call it Xmas jumper day it is simply a dress up day nd lil ones could wear what they want ... fancy dress, own clothes ... festive jumper... I was next nd said sorry i missed when Xmas jumper day is..poor teacher went straight into oooh we are not allowed t call it Xmas jumper day etc. Daughter sent me a copy of the letter ( she just hadn’t told me) nd sure enough the letter states dress up day can wear uniform, Xmas jumper or anything etc. I just feel - what a sad time it has become  for teachers. :-(

the good:- got seats t see a very merry deadpool....is excited much. :-)

have as good a day as u can peeps x

Good Morning,

I was hoping this morning I had woken up from this utter nightmare, but apparently not...so I best crack on :)

I had geared myself up, expecting to be told I had cancer. I just knew. I was hoping for at best to have surgery and then radiotherapy. 

Only one of the lumps in my boob was biopsied and my arm pit. It shows that it is in my lymph nodes too but obviously we don't know to what extent yet. The other lump I am getting biopsied on Monday followed by a MRI & CT scans on Tuesday. 

I have grade 2 (provisionally) metastatic mixed lobular ductal carcinoma er positive awaiting Her2 results. 

I will get the results of the scans and the other biopsy next Thursday the same day as you Dragonfly. I too am so sorry to hear your are in this position as well. XX

Treatment will be put in place next week when results are in but it is looking most likely that I will be having chemotherapy first (sigh). I'm already looking up wigs etc.

Can't believe I'm even bloody typing this. I think the chemotherapy route is a lot down to how young I am and that it is generally more aggressive. Was this the reason with you Dizzle? You are an inspiration ️ and my fighting spirit is already at the surface.

I think I'm feel angry more than anything at the moment. Obviously feeling that I'm very unlucky (31 with no type of any cancer in my family ever). But hey ho, it is what it is and I've just got to get on with it. I'm just praying that the scans are clear and it hasn't spread anywhere else. Please please please. 

It's my boys 2nd birthday a week on Saturday so I got his presents all wrapped, done and dusted last night. Christmas shopping today to finish off the bits what I need. My kids are still having a bloody good Christmas no matter what. 

Love to you all xx
