Hi Yvonne. I'm so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I was diagnosed on 19th April with a 44mm oestrogen + grade 1 cancer. I have a 5 and 6 year old and im only 39. I lost my mum to this horrible disease in 2019 and I've found it very triggering.
I have coped by keeping things normal. Keeping busy and thinking positive.
I am just focused on getting to my surgery on 26th June. Its been longer than it should have been because I needed extra MRIs and I need to come off the tamoxifen for 2 weeks before the op.
I wish you all the best. Keep us updated with how you get on.
I have been to see my oncologist who has the results of the mri showing a 1cm lump on the other side of the same breast so I will now have to have another biopsy and ultrasound to check these out I’m still in shock I can’t eat and can’t stop shaking I can’t imagine how someone as young you as you are feeling and to not have your mam you sound strong that’s a good thing I wish you all the best .
I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis and wish you well, I was diagnosed in April with grade 3 breast cancer that had spread to my lymph nodes, it was a huge shock as had no lump or anything. I have found being open and honest about everything has helped me plus humour. It’s a terrifying situation but finding it is better than not. Xx
Hi it’s all the waiting and tests so nerve wracking because my imagination runs wild and I try to talk myself calm but dosnt work for long the stories I am reading on here have really helped to know there are others going threw the same I’m so glad I found this .
The waiting is by far the worst of it all, overthinking everything. This has really helped me too as sometimes it’s hard to get friends/family to really understand. Xx
I honestly feel your pain im also waiting on further tests ,now awaiting a MRI and everyday I feel so sick my mind takes over especially with the famliy when we laugh and joke just for a second and en BAM reality kicks back in thinking about my furture and if I'll be here to enjoy seeing my children grow ,im sending EVERYONE on here and out there thats going through anything like this a massiv hug and reminding you all your so strong and super special
I know exactly what you mean. We got away over half term with my best friend and her family including a child the same age as my eldest. It was lovely to have tines where I didnt think about it but then as you say bang! You are right back where you were.
I've got to tell my 5 and 6 year olds what is happening next weekend (they are currently totally unaware) before I go into hospital to have my surgery. I'm just hoping for good news after that (but that will be 4-5 weeks of utter he'll waiting for the post surgery pathology results).
Thank you for your reply it helps me sooo much not feeling ,im ment be going on hoiliday end July kids are soo excited they evan have count down going , I don't evan know if I will be going or if anyone will and that breaks my heart on top all this especially as we could do with this holiday massively now ! I know im only awaiting my MRI but this is a feeling of not knowing anything and feeling the worse ,I hope you had a lovely time away to the best you could and I really do feel for you having to speak with your little darlings I don't evan know how or where I'd start thats all come into my head many times to ,im sending you lots postive vibes and energy....
My liver MRI results (fortunately just cysts found) were back within 2 weeks so I hope that you get some answers and a plan in place. Having a plan had helped to calm my worries. The waiting and wondering is the absolute worst.
I hope you do get away in July. A break does everyone good. I'll keep everything crossed for you. X
Hi I hope you get to go you could change the appointment I also had a holiday booked but I didn’t go because I had an appointment with the oncologist although the nurse said I could have gone and had a telephone appointment but on hearing the mri results I’m glad I didn’t because it just threw me right back again so now I wait for Wednesday for ultra.sound and another biopsy x
