Hello sorry to hear that but try not to worry I know it's difficult all the waiting,it won't spread in between waiting,I also waited a while for my results,I had chemo first to shrink the lump,then surgery after radiotherapy and now I can say that I'm cancer free.I also had it in my lymph nodes so to put your mind at rest it's not all doom and gloom,you have to try to stay positive and take each day at a time.Take care x

Hi there,

I'm very sorry to find you on here.  It seems it's very early days for you and the fear, worry and uncertainty is completely normal and understandable.  You can only take things a day at a time, don't think ahead too much.  Then, before you know it you will be through to the other side.  Stay strong.

I had exactly the same fears about delays in surgery and spreading.  My consultant told me that the protocol is to be within a 12 week timeframe and that there was no risk in reasonable delays.   I think we all overestimate how quickly BC spreads, and in reality spread is quite a slow process.  That's what I was told anyway and I hope it can give you some reassurance.

I wish you well with the journey, you will get through this.

Hi 

Thank you so much for the reply. It definitely helps to talk to people with similar situation. 
Hopefully I should find out maybe today a little more and I am trying to take it one day at a time but it's difficult sometimes. 
Thank you again :)

Hi Marywj,

Thank you for sharing your experience too. The wait is definitely the worse as so many dark thoughts go through my mind and most of the time, I am convinced it is spreading. 
Thank you for all your words of encouragement, it is definitely helping and to see I am not the only one feeling that way. There is so much to process.

Thank you again
