Hi BigJean,

A very warm welcome to our forum, although I'm sorry for the reason you've joined. I hope that your results on Tuesday can help to put your mind at rest. Even if the news is not so good, it helps to know what the next moves are and puts a more positive slant on things.

I suspect that the pain in your back is consequential to your diagnosis. We always seem to think the worst and develop all sorts of additional symptoms. In most cases this seems to be due to stress.

I have lost my mum to breast cancer and, have had 2 bouts myself within the past 9 years. Waiting for results is always one of the most stressful times of a cancer journey. Try to keep yourself distracted by other pursuits and do your best to stay away from Google. The fact that you are healthy and have never smoked, should stand you in good stead with any treatment needed.

Do please keep in touch and let us know how you get on on Tuesday. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Jolamine ,

thank you for your kind words . I’m so sorry you lost your mum and you going through it twice . I am not going to let it get me down just back from a big walk with my family and I feel great . That’s the weird thing I don’t feel sick at all . 

I’ll let you know how I get on on Tuesday but I am ready to fight 

talk soon xx

Hi Big Jean,

I'm glad to hear that the new aches and pains are copeable with and, that your mind is clearer and energy levels higher with the Taxol and Herceptin.

Just keep taking those smoothies.

Kind regards,

Hi Lorraine,

I sincerely hope that your cold disappears in the morning. A delay in surgery is NOT what you need at this stage.

Fingers crossed for you.

Kind regards Lorraine x

Hi Lorraine,

I am so glad to hear that all went ahead. It's just as well that you got it done before your surgeon went off on holiday. I can appreciate that you now have a worrying 3 week wait for the results from pathology, but sincerely hope that this will turn out to be good news.

Kind regards,
