Hi All,

The Good- I received news from work yesterday that they will support me as much as they can during the treatment period i.e. paid my salary in full. I am so very grateful with this as we i dont have to think of financial issues during this bumpy journey.

The Bad- MRI found another 2 new suspicious lumps and last night me and hubby decided we are not going to go through with egg/embryo feezing. The toughest decision we have to make so far in our 13 years together. I've been strong(ish) since i was diagnosed but last night i broke down and cry. We are supposed to go through our IVF treatment ( received dates and all) but found out i have cancer 2 weeks before procedure :(

Thank you [@Sandra123]‍ for creating this discussion thread.

I am sorry to hear this,  cancer has such a ripple effect. This forum has been a god send to me, everyone on here are immensely supportive.....I wish you well on your journey......and I echo your thanks to sandra123 for creating this thread......xxxx

I have just got back from the hospital.

I have two primary cancers in the same breast - both different types. 

The second one is very small yet and slow growing but was picked up on the mammogram. 

It was lucky really because I wouldn't have found it for some time.

My specialist wants me to keep taking the tablets for the other one but I have to see the oncologist to discuss what to do about the second one. She may want me to have a mastectomy now. My surgeon says that isn't a problem to have it now but it would be easier if it was a little smaller. 

I am now waiting for the oncologists appointment when I should know more. I knew from the beginning that it would mean a mastectomy so that is no surprise and doesn't really bother me.

Gosh, what an update and a lot to digest in one appointment....so more waiting then....how are you finding the meds? Hoping and praying you won't have too long before you know your next step. I will know my treatment plan tomorrow.....xx

Should see the oncologist in the next couple of weeks meanwhile I am taking the meds for the other one. I have complete faith in my doctors so feel quite upbeat. There is some talk of having a new targeted treatment for the second one.
