Hi [@Boymamancl]‍ I was diagnosed with IDC grade 3 on the 20th.  My HER result is not back yet so not sure of that status.  When the did the ultrasound and examination nothing in the lymph nodes could be seen/felt but I have an MRI tomorrow night to confirm and stage it.  So sorry I can't help but sounds like we may end up on the same treatment pathway...Let me know how your MRI was!!

Hiya I found the mri totally fine. The cod liver oil capsules on my nipples was bit strange. But I had earphones one and didn't find it nearly as uncomfortable as I'd heard. Was 1/2 hour. 15 minutes without contrast then 1/2 with. Good luck with yours- I don't get results until next week

Well I had no idea about the cod liver oil so thats something to look forward to :).  Let me know when you get your results. x

Hi [@toottoot]‍ how did your mri go? X

Not good @boymamancl - I’ve had one before but it was head and neck last time so I wandered in the room tonight thinking it would be the same and how wrong could I have been. I found it horrific and my whole body was clenched the entire time I was in there, I found it so suffocating, the only thing that stopped me from squeezing the emergency thing was the thought that they’d have to start again. I can put up with the noise but face down into darkness just put me over the edge and I’ve been tearful ever since. I'm going to see if sedation is a possibility next time.  Its given me a real wobble, I thought I could handle anything... Good news is my results appt came through this morning Thurs 4th so I don't have long to wait and I'm off to Marrakesh on the 5th :) (no evidence of any cod liver oil at my appt :))  What date is your results appr?

Oh no- I'm sure you'll be able to have sedation next time. Least you got through that one though. My results are on Tuesday morning. Least you get your results too next week, and you'll be to enjoy your holiday before treatment x

Morning Boymamancl, how did your results appt go yesterday?

It went well- he showed me scan- they need to add another clip in my lymph node and maybe another biopsy as have a cyst in other breast (although they seemed sure it's just a cyst) hope your doing ok x

Glad it went well! I get my mri results tomorrow, fingers crossed there will be no new additions to my cancer portfolio!

Good luck-let me know how it goes x 

Back from my results appt.  Good news, MRI was showed nothing else aprt from two stringy bits leading to my nipple, they are not sure what they are - could be entirely benign as MRI is so sensitive so have to wait now for another ultrasound appt to see if need another biopsy.  Results of that will determine lumpectomy or mastectomy and if I need chemo will depend on clear margins and sentinal node biopsy result.  My HER2 was back and I am negative which is great.  Just back to waiting again.

Really pleased about your good news-hope your feeling much better now and can wait final details of treatment plan x
