Hi sorry about your diagnosis, you will find everything happens so quick - which is great- but like a whirlwind. 

I saw GP 30/1 after finding lump in my left armpit. phone call from breast clinic a few days later with app 15/2- had mammogram, US & biopsy same day- consultant said lump found in my left breast and looked cancerous.  Results 27/2- Grade 1 Invasive ductal cancer- operation date 12/3 to remove.  Had op removed tumour-& x5 lymph nodes. informed 27/3 tumour removed good margins & 1 node contained cancer. Saw Oncologist 2/4 to discuss treatment- decided chemo not required & I have booking app radiotherapy 1/5, with Radiotherapy starting 22/5- 15 sessions & Tamoxifen for 5 years. 

So as you can see it’s a lot if appointments. 

If you need to  talk/ ask questions- do, as we are all going through this together & coming out the other side. 

Thank you for the post livelifetothefull. 

It all happens really quick.

I've a big anniversary party June 1st and hoped I would be fit and well enough to enjoy that.

It's only five wks away, been planning it a whole year. 

Found out today its stage two grade three. 

Having chemo first them surgery 

Got mri first then meeting oncology I think it was called. 

Need a clip put in the lump too. 

Hi, I am in my first chemo today (literally as it's quite boring sitting letting drugs drip in).  I have grade 3 ductal, receptor and herceptin positive, so chemo and hormone treatment before surgery.

I had an MRI which was to help them really ascertain the size and type and then a CT scan to check it had not spread (thankfully it has not).  
 

The waiting is hard, but I just carried on with stuff as normal and that helped. 

Hello ladies, 

I'd love to join you and make some cyber breast buddies

My name is Karen and I too have just been told I have breast cancer. 57mm mass. E+ her2- grade 3. Diagnosed last Thursday. 
I have seen both the surgeon and the Oncologist and had MRI results yesterday. They are starting zoladex and letrozole hormone treatment Monday as apparently this is as effective for my tumour. Shrink the tumour and then surgery in 6-9 months. 

Onco typing being requested today. 
I'm awaiting full body ct because the mass is over 50mm. 
 

I actually work in cancer services as a nurse specialist so I am off work at the minute, tho I'm desperate to get back I have been told I have to wait until I am settled into treatment. 
 

be lovely to get to know you all

karen. 

Hi Karen, I started TCHP on Tuesday, first session.  Feeling very queasy this morning though hsdn't been too bad before that.  Good to chat to you, hope you get your CT sorted soon, I found that a tough wait.  Take care, Linds 

Thank you your reply linds

what is TCHP ? Sorry to hear you are queasy ️

Im not feeling too anxious about the CT, surgeon has said possibility of finding disease anywhere else is minuscule. MRI didn't show spread but they only scanned my boobs. 

sending gentle hugs x

Hi, TCHP is the wonderful cocktail of chemo and hormone drugs they have me on, sorry I don't recall all the names.   So good that the MRI didn't show spread and they also told me it was standard for any lump over 50mm to have a CT but spread risk very low.   Sounds like you are being seen quickly, that's good.  Take care 

I should know really, I work in the cancer centre and teach nurses to give chemo lol 

It's really good that they are moving quickly, they've rang today and  CT is Monday. My lump 'Larry' is 57mm -hopefully  not for long though

Hope you start to feel better soon. Did they give you metoclopramide ? Anti-sickness tablets x 

Hi, I've got Domperidome (how can they make anti sickness meds sounds almost like champagne ) and I've managed to keep down some soup and crackers and I do feel better than I did this morning to be honest, this morning was rough.   Good luck for Monday, am sure you'll get those results quickly
