Hi molly.com

been thinking about you and how you are holding up? Good luck for tomorrow x everything crossed for you.

take care

Thank you that’s so kind. My appointment has been moved for the second time due to waiting for firstly ct scan then now there is no radiologists to read it so I have not seen anyone since my 15 min diagnosis appointment on 1st April. They hope they will see me Wednesday now but I’m not holding my breath I’ve just given up at this point and trying to carry on as if all is normal. 

Hope it’s going to happen soon and thank you for checking on me. X

Hi

sorry to hear your appointment has been moved. I know exactly how frustrating it is as my biopsy results from my lymph nodes have been put back due to bank holiday til this Wednesday. Think we both just want to know what we are facing and how they propose us to fight it/treatment. 

Keep being positive and carry on as normal it’s all we can do at this moment in time.  Be thinking of you Wednesday x 

Yes and me you x

Hi mollie.com

thinking of you today x 

Thank you. Nervous but glad at last to get to know everything. xx

I know exactly how you are feeling, I had to wait 13 days for confirmation following biopsys , I had planned my funeral , thought about writing to both my children and husband so they would have letters to read after my death. I think to be honest that is the shock and a natural response as be honest we never think we are going to get the big 'C'. I am still worried , got to have MRI then operation and lumpectomy but also telling myself we have to be positive, live as normal as life as possible and we will get through this journey, many people have recovered from breast cancer.   

Hi I agree it is one of the worst words anyone can hear x I’ve had my node results and it has spread. Got to wait for ct scan to see if spread but provisionally booked in for mastectomy and node removal then chemo and radiotherapy but only if it hasn’t spread x staying positive although it hasn’t helped me so far haha but surely one day I’ll get brighter news x take care me lovelie and hold on in there 

I bet you didn't cry as much as me, but it is a release valve. It all started end of Feb with routine screening tests,  bowel for my husband and breast for me. On 11 March he was diagnosed with bowel cancer which has spread to his liver and 14 March I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Neither of us had symptoms. Anyway, I've cried a river, but he started chemo yesterday and I had a mastectomy 11 April. Next for me is possibly chemo (it's borderline if it will benefit me so I have to decide). Then radiography, hormone therapy and injections.  The waiting is awful but I'm taking the view getting it right is what's important. I like detail so bought "The complete guide to breast cancer" written by a breast surgeon and a doctor both of whom have had breast cancer. It takes you through the process step by step. I'm not recommending it.  It's fact based which I like. The waiting is awful. I'm a wimp but MRI was fine and completely painless and lying still was my greatest challenge. Apart from losing a boob, the mastectomy was much easier than my  expectations. I'm dreading chemo (Fec-T) but my husband has got over day two of his ok. I had ultrasound which showed lymph nodes ok but during op sentinel node was positive so going to have radiotherapy on armpit as well as non-boob/chest area. Best wishes to you. Rockbottom xxx

My app was full on but ok. Have no spread out side the breast but tumour is bigger than first thought at 7cm. So along with Masectomey I need Radiotherapy afterwards. Sorted the plan for diep reconstruction down the road. Operation 13th June , nodes test first on  15th May . 

Glad to have a plan and relieved no spread.
