How'd you get on? I'm waiting on CT too of my torso. The waits are horrendous. And then the having to go in for the results. I'd rather just receive a letter at home followed by appointment to discuss. Mines a lobular HR+ HER2-. 7cm. I was diagnosed over 1 month ago and still awaiting tests and results and more tests. I just want to get full mastectomy done. Then they want a psych consult. Hope you're staying positive. There is so much more they can do for many cancers now. xx

I got on ok. completely forgot that they told me not to eat or drink anything other than water in the morning so I had to wait around in the waiting area for a few hours but they still saw me the same day which was a relief. CT scan was weird, I had a contrast CT where they inject this dye stuff in and then take the images. made me feel like I was wetting myself! I didnt though which I was majorly relieved about. 

Ive got grade 3 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, oestrogen negative, HER 2 positive.

Totally agree, the waiting is THE WORST. Id much rather a letter and then a follow up appointment. Im waiting for them to call me back in to talk dates for the surgery. Feels like time has gone wild, superslow but sped up at the same time. 

Hi I have been diagnosed the exactly the same are yours. Tomorrow is my surgery xx

Hi VDV,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis and just want to wish you all the best for your surgery. I had a lumpectomy first time around and a double mastectomy for the second bout, which appeared less than a year after my first surgery. That was all 14 years ago now and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life. Hopefully, you will too.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Ah VDV, can I ask how quickly you went from the diagnosis appointment to surgery appointment beinv arranged? I was told the diagnosis on Thursday last week, it's Wednesday morning now. I hope your surgery goes well, I'm sure it will. Can I ask what you are having? I'm on for full left mastectomy.  I'm getting nervous something else has shown up in the CT scan.

Do let me know how it goes xx

Hi Jolamine. What a burst of hope! The more people I chat to about breast cancer the more I'm hopeful, im surprised how many people have been through it and are out the other side successfully.  It's helping me calm the panic side of my thoughts.
