It's grade 2 invasive. The mass is about 5cm, she said anyone's mass that size or above has to have a ct scan. It's just a precaution. But feel nervous about it still, as my body feels achy but that might be from how tense I've felt waiting for the results. I hope so anyway.

mine was 1.5 so that's probably why I didn't get a scan .

yes I was same every ache every pain but I'm sure it's deffo not any spread it's our minds wandering honestly It's natural ️

I had chemo every week for 12 weeks . It's was a fairly long day but my centre was brilliant 

Hair fell out after week 3, I was really tired and usually came home and went to bed , next day fine . Following two days felt abit yuky ( the runs , awful head ache and body aches ) then I was fine. For it all to start again

Every week for 12 weeks is draining but it's out the way .

Take every offer if help either at home or driving you to your appointments

listen to your body and it's ok to not be ok

Happy to talk any time xx

I had to have a CT and an MRI scan. It is perfectly normal for your imagination to go into overdrive. You will feel so much better, once you know for certain and have a way forward, if needed. I doubt that the CT will show anything additional - just give a clearer view. Breast cancer is usually painless, so the chances are that there is no significance to all of the little aches and pains. 

I hope that the CT comes through soon and you don't have to wait for too long.

Aww thank you. It definelty helps to talk.

Oh goodness. Did you have to have chemo every day or was it once a week?

how do you deal with the anxiety of it all. I keep freaking out.

Thank you Jolamine. Did you have to wait long for you ct appointments?

Jolamine and all the lovely ladies taking the time to respond you are wonderful human beings helping us newly diagnosed out. I really appreciate it.xx

hopefully you may or won't need chemo but if you do I will tell you my best friend experience we were diagnosed same time she had a different type of BC to me and required chemo 

for her she had 6 sessions once every 3 weeks it wasn't daily she managed it very well she had regular checks if she felt sick she had tablets to stop this there are lots of things they give you to minimise side effects she done so well she would have only a few days out of the month where she was not feeling 100 percent this was occasionally she felt ok most of the time . So In total it was like 5 months she then had her operation her hair has now grown back she's had radiotherapy 5 sessions and same as me back to her normal life . 
hope this helps ️ 

That helps massively. Thank you Lara. I'm glad your friend is doing well now too.

Thank you for the advice. My lovely family and friends have been rallying behind me. I just can't wait to be the other side of all this. 
 

so I'm not sure if these are silly questions but I'm wondering if I should be limiting anything whilst I have this thing in me to reduce the risk of spreading, if that's even possible. is it still okay to do things like swimming, exercise? Will anything bad happen if I knock it? Is there anything I should avoid, food or drink wise?
