Hi Annette,

I'm so sorry you are going through this too. I think the waiting to hear is absolutely the worst bit. I felt like I was ok when I was told because at least I knew & my consultant had a plan for me.

Try to keep busy these next few days

Hi lisa

Thank you for replying. It's terrifying isn't it. I just keep looking at my husband and kids and want to bust into tears. I actually can not believe this is happening. 

I know what ever happens I will try my hardest to be strong. I just want to hold them tight and never let go, it's breaking my heart knowing how worried they are. 

Hope you are ok Lisa and the plan is working out well for you

I think my consultant told me straight away that it was cancer but very small, very treatable & most likely curable. I had a few tears & then told her they were actually tears of relief. I didn't actually care about the cancer because she'd already made me feel positive - I was just glad to know either way. 

Mine is grade 1, I'm having a magseed inserted on Thursday & then my lumpectomy is on 15th January. I feel fine about it all so far. The next wait will be for the results to see if my lymph nodes are clear.

Everyone's a very friendly bunch on here. It's good to find others going through a similar journey at the same time xx

Do you mind me asking did you find the lump?? I found mine on 13th Dec and can't believe how quickly the process has been. But they are investigating a lymph node and a smaller lump. I pray to God that mine isn't a really serious type. I didn't realise how many different sorts and treatments there are. Xxx

Hi Annette 

How are you? 

I just wanted to reply to you to let you know you're not alone in how you feel about your husband and children. The affect of my diagnosis on my husband (and parents) has been the hardest part of this for me too, I feel like I've let them down. I'm not far into this journey either so I can't offer any advice unfortunately, but just wanted to let you know I totally understand what you mean. I hope you get some positive news on Friday. Best wishes

Thank you so so much. And I wish you best wishes too. This is like living in a nightmare isn't it xxx

It's the worst. But there's so much they can do these days. I know it's hard but do try to stay positive!
