I had breast cancer 22 years ago. Mastectomy, lymph glands removed and chemo. I had a lymph gland biopsy which shows it's active again. Had a PET scan, another biopsy tomorrow and then results from the oncologist next week. It's very scary but we all know that. We are not alone.  I wish you all the best. X

Hoping all goes well for you at your appointment tomorrow.  You're not alone ..remember we will be thinking of you.  

Hope you manage to have a restful night.

Thank you, will update after my oncology appointment xx

Hi Shirley,

I am so sorry to hear that you are facing this again. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer within a year of each other. That was all 14 years ago. I know just how scary this is. I hope that all goes well for your biopsy tomorrow and shall be thinking of you.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Shirley, how awful for you to be going through It all again. Am  wishing you only the best for your results. At my appointment today I was told they wanted an MRI scan which will be on Monday 19th - apparently a precaution as biopsy showed only one area. Then decision on what type of surgery and subsequent treatments. I suppose I was hoping for more of a plan, but at least I'm now in the system. The Macmillan nurses are wonderful, thank goodness for them. 

As you say, we are not alone and we are strong, as women have always had to be. All the best to you too. Xx

Hi Voirrey, thank you. Appointment was OK but told need MRI scan to confirm biopsy findings of only one site, hopefully. Then decision on surgery. More waiting which I've never been the best at.

You are right about how brilliant the nurses are. Hope all.goes well for you

HI Suze,

I am so sorry that you still haven't got a definite answer and have still more waiting to go through. You must feel disappointed that you didn't get answers, but it is important to get the diagnosis as accurate as possible to facilitate the best treatment.

Thinking of you and always here for you.

Kind regards,

Dear Jolamine, thank you, I need to get it into my head that these,things take time and it's important not to try and anticipate what might happen. As I said to one of my lovely contacts on this site, sometimes you feel as if your body is not your own, and that you are yet another statistic. We have strength and support , which is so important.  

All best wishes to you

Sue xx
