Hi Mintymo. Diagnosed same day as me! Now I'm waiting on results of CT scan and punch biopsy to see if it has spread. Scares me all this waiting. I just want to have a treatment plan in place so I can feel.in control once again. I'm HER2+ and apparently this one grows quickly...what does "quickly" actually mean? Having good days and bad days and really trying not to think about the what ifs but goodness its hard xx

Hi there, did you get the CT scan after your biopsy? I now have an appointment to see  the breast surgeon next Tuesday. I assume I will be told more about my Hormone receptor and HER2 status then. All I was told it's ductal and that's it. Not been in control is what scares me too.  It's great to have someone who is going through this at the same. I feel uncertain about my short term future. Can't make any plans yet. I am feeling numb, yet the first thing I think of as soon as I wake up.....I have cancer...

Good to talk thanks

You're very welcome. Yes CT scan came after, to see if it's spread...results may be 2 weeks away! I don't feel unwell but know once chemo starts I will...not looking forwsrd to it, yet need to start something ...if you know what I mean.. 

Are you having chemo before surgery?   Where you born in 1958?

Morning,  yep born in 1958. Chemo first I think. No definite plan yet as still waiting on results to see if it's spread. They did say chemo first initially though..I've bought a wig already lol as losing my hair is my biggest fear. X

Born in 59.

Yeah losing my hair is my biggest worry too. Could you try scalp cooling, or is that not offered?

Not sure yet but I'll try whatever they offer x

How are you doing? Been thinking of you. Are you starting your treatment plan yet?

Hello. CT scan results came back clear which was a huge relief...still waiting for punch biopsy results though..they should be in tomorrow. It's strange but it was almost a relief to "just" have breast cancer! I know what you mean about it being the first thing you think of, I'm exactly the same. Hope your appt goes well, try not to worry about what ifs...easier said than done though i know. Think my chemo will start in couple of weeks...got to have an echocardiogram first...more tests :) Let me know how it goes xx
