I find out what I'm dealing with tomorrow. Cant help but feeling it's been found too late. At my mammogram and ultrasound they kept asking how come I didnt notice it before. They said my lymph nodes were clear tho what ever that means. I was do stunned I didnt ask any questions.
Think positive. It it is not in your lymph nodes then that means it hasn't spread. They will
have taken biopsies? Is it this you are getting results of tomorrow. They will then give you a plan of treatment. I was different. I was so calm. I would think you will need surgery to remove the lump and clear margins. They might also decide after the op to do the onco score. If it's a lumpectomy honestly it's not a bad experience. Your done as a day case and being honest I could have gone back to work after a few days if I had been inclined. But like you I didn't know what to expect but it was not half as bad as I thought. the research between lumpectomy and mastectomy shows no advantage to having mastectomy. So be guided by your surgeon. He is the expert. You are going to be fine. We can do this and this site is great. I'm also on a Facebook one called Breast Cancer UK. Loads of info and support on tee as well. Good luck for tomorrow.
Not a good result today I'm afraid. have grade 3 ductal invasive carcinoma. Have to start chemo early in the new year surgery after 4 lots of chemo (every 3 weeks) if cancer still there a further 4 lots of chemo devastated! Have been planning my wedding on the 4th july for 18 months Everything booked, dress bought and hen do booked for magaluf 10th june for 20 of us!!! I dont want to loose my hair !!!!!!!
Sorry cant believe how shallow that sounds !!! just not a good day
I am so sorry to hear that your results are not good. I totally get it about your hair. When chemo was mentioned to me I broke down. I know it sounds vain but it was all about my hair. I think it is the worst thing for any woman and I'm probably a lot older than you. I still don't know about chemo for me and now waited 5 weeks for results. a friend of mine in her 20's had just had her 3rd baby. 3 kids under 5. She had to have chemo. Lost all of her hair. 10 years later she is cured and looks amazing. Cancer comes into our lives and everything that was our normal and our plans all stops. What we cannot control we just have to accept. Put on our big girl pants and get on with it. I just want to give you a huge hug. There are some amazing wigs now and you will get through this awful time. You have too much to look forward to to give up now. Please keep in touch with me and tell me how you get on. You've got this lovely and I wish you every success. Lots of love xxxx
I cant believe you are still waiting to hear. I can honestly say j feel better today knowing than being in limbo. Seems like torture to make you wait for news.
Sat here thinking I should go back to work as technically I feel fine, actually better than ever after losing 3 stone in weight. (On purpose)
I will definitely wear my big pants as to be honest (and to the fiances disgust) it's all I've got thank you so much for your kind words they have definitely helped me. Let me know when you get your results but I'm praying we dont have to be chemo buddies ️ ️ lots of love
You have now got this. Get back to work and keep life as normal as possible. I was in a financial position to stop working and I wish I had kept going. Just think this time next year you will be happily married. Minus big pants lol and hopefully all of this will be behind you. Just think how quick those showers will be and no bad hair days as wig will always look fabulous. Love and hugs Sandra xx
I live in Gateshead. I have to wait 12 days for my biopsy results . It feels so cruel that we have to wait extra over Christmas holidays. What should be a special time of year feels like a living nightmare. Xx
