Hi, 

I'm so sorry to hear you are so worried. I really know how you feel and hope that it turns out to be nothing.

I found a lump 3 weeks ago and i remember feeling exactly how you describe. I anayslysed everything the doctor said and even down to body language and couldnt get of google!! One minute positive the next in tears.

Unfortunately mine turned out to be cancer but fortunately early stages and low grade. Honestly I felt like I had been hit by a train when I found out. I've since had the lump removed and meeting an oncologist on Friday to sort out radiotherapy.

Its all so quick my emotions are in complete waves too.

I really hope you get good news from the biopsy but if not at least it was found and is treatable xx

Hi

Thank you for your kind words. So sorry to hear that your turned out bad. I am expecting the same as they do kinda know by the look of things on the screen. (Hopefully they do have it wrong, but I doubt it). I hope the radiotherapy goes ok. Did they get the whole lot out with your lumpectomy and how big was it?? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks again xx

I understand, I was even trying to google pictures of the lump on ultrasound that Id seen at a side view!! Its puts you down a rabbit hole!! I wanted the day to come quick but when it did I didn't want it to be the day if that makes sense! Its so hard.

I really hope it goes well tomorrow.

I've actually managed to get an appointment to discuss my BRCA test at the doctors tonight at 7.15!! xx

Thank you. I hope your appointment goes well tonight, that's good you got one quick.. let me know how it goes. Xxxx

Hey!

How did you get on? Hope your ok xx

Hey sorry. Yeah I have it but it is very low grade and very early. The consultant said I should make a full recovery. I have either to have a lumpectomy or a that and a breast reduction (got big boobs lol). I have to go back on Monday to let them know what I decide to do. Then after the op I will get radiotherapy and probs a tablet. Still feeling a bit strange but a bit relieved as well as i know what I am dealing with. She also said there is no sign of it in my lymph nodes but they always remove a couple to be 100% sure. Did you get that done too??. How did you get on at the Docs last night?? Xxxx

Thats the best news of bad news isnt it?!!! Im so glad its low grade and caught early. I had the exact same news and action plan!! Its all so positive!! Yes I had the lymph node test too, I think they do it as a precaution then another relief when you get the definite news that's ok!

The doctors was a waste of time, apparently they cant do it from there end so I have to talk to the consultant! Still haven't received the letters for the scan and radiotherapy dates yet so need to somehow chase that up!

It really is a strange feeling, everyone is relieved and happy which you are but then at the same time you still feel shocked your in the situation at all!!

Hope your ok xxxx

Yeah that's exactly how I feel too, strange isn't it. They did say that if you get cancer the one that this is the best type to have. Doctors eh if you get an appointment then they can be useless hopefully you can get some answers soon then. Where about in the UK are you?? I am Paisley xxx

That's good, did they tell you what type it was? At first they said mine was DCIS but after the lumpectomy when i received the letter it said IDC with some remaining DCIS (hence the radio).

That's a shame, we could of been radio buds but I'm in Hertfordforshire! LOL Maybe when we are both C free we should meet up for a LARGE wine and unhealthy food! haha :) xxx

That sounds like a good plan re the food and wine. Lol xxx

Hi Worried,

I am so sorry to hear that it is cancer, but I am glad to hear that it is low grade and that you have caught it early. Have you decided what surgery you're going to opt for yet? It is always so difficult to decide when you don't have all of the facts to hand - You may find it helpful to write down a list of any questions you have. Take this to your appointment on Monday and ask any questions you need to. Did they say what type of breast cancer you have?

 They usually remove a few lymph nodes at the time of surgery to ensure that the lymph nodes are clear, but it is reassuring that so far, they look clear.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
