Hope they manage to get your marker fitted ok and it's not too painful.

I will be thinking of you and keep me updated on your progress xxxx

Charlie 

sorry To hear your news. Hopefully we can support each and share information to get us through this awful dark journey. X

im Babita. I’m in same boat as yourself I’ve had lymph node issues for 17 months. Had biopsy’s and scan etc last Dec and all came back fine. Relief. We trust  the consultants and believe in them. Sadly in July lymph nodes in armpit grew back but much worse. Four weeks ago had an operation.

Lymph node removal one. Still recovering. I was called in 2 weeks ago wAs told I have breast cancer. My world fell apart I’m in denial and just v upset. Had a mammogram. Ct scan now A pet scan on New Year’s Eve. Which is highly recommended as well as mri.  Do mention this. 

I no idea what to say but I’m shocked as have to have another op in breAst. Chemo. Radiotherapy. 2020 no fun holidays it’s like life’s over. X

your not alone. We in this together. I understand your pain and emotions. I’m finding it hard to tell anyone. My son is 22 told him. Trying to go back to London next week to spend time with my family and then a spa to chill out before the treatments sign. I have to wait Incase it’s spreaded.  It’s hard waiting game. I’m dreading if loose my hair with chemo and what if my whole breast has to be removed. I feel crap. But luckily my hubby has been supportive so far but the person who goes through it understands more. 

But im here hopefully we will go through this together xxxx

I hope you have had your Appt. I know the wait. I’ve bren waiting over a pathetic year xx. 

Thanks lovely. I had the marker fitted on Monday, it was like a biopsy but the needle was huge, I don't know why I looked lol.

Keep me updated with your mum's progress too and obviously how your coping with it. Cancer doesn't just affect the person with it, it affects their loved ones too.

Hi Babita,

Sorry to hear how much you've had to go through just to get your diagnosis. I hope your treatment goes through as smoothly as possible.

The waiting is so horrible I try and keep my mum occupied as much as possible.

How is your son doing? For me it's helped me to be as much a part of my mum's journey as possible and go to appointments with her.

That's good that you have a supportive husband too!

Charlie I'm just glad my mum lets me be involved in all the stages. Doing my best to hold it together for her xxx

How did it go? So is your lumpectomy cancelled next week? 2 weeks 2 days since mine, can drive now and it's not too painful. Just the skin feels like in fire. May phone clinic tomorrow but it seems to be common because of nerves. There's no redness or anything x

Hey lovely

Lumpectomy is booked in for next wed and having some lymph nodes removed too. Will be followed by 3 weeks of radiotherapy and possibly chemo. Consultant said I will need regular ultrasounds and mammograms and she is referring me for the genetics testing.

I feel so positive now I have an actual plan in place!

Hello my first time ever writing in a forum. I just got diagnosed with cancer Tuesday 31st December. I think I am still in a daze. 

My back story - I went to my local surgery in February 2019 when I felt a lump. I was sent to hospital within 10 days. They doctor examined me and they did an ultra scan and decided there was nothing wrong with me and the lump looked like a 'resolving infection'. Alas, the lump did not go away. I was reassured it was not cancerous, but to remain breast aware and come back if I had any concerns in the future and they would happily see again for a review.

Fast forward December 2019, it went back to my GP. I told her I felt the lump had grown, she told me it probably wouldn't be cancer. But said she would refer me to hospital. I went to a different hospital had a mammogram, ultrasound scan then a biopsy on the 23rd December. By the time I got home I got text message for me come for the results 31st December. That's where I was told l had stage 2 breast cancer which is also in my lymph nodes.

I am feeling lost and scared I am putting on a brave face for my family, especially my kids. I have been told by the nurse attending that I will need to do a MRI and bone scan. They will send me an appointment at some point next week. Once, I have done that we can then discuss treatment, the wait for is killing me. I have a sore throats that has refused to go. I am having a slight pain in my breast since my diagnosis not sure whether I am imagining it. 

I was given a number to call in case I have any questions. I don't even know what to ask! I didn't even know what to ask the consultant as I was still in shock. Sorry l must rambling I just came across this forum. I could relate to the stuff I read. I needed to talk/write to let it out and I can't really discuss it with anyone around me at the moment as they seem 'horrified' and worried about me. So I have been putting on a brave face trying to get my head round this.

Hi lovely

I'm so sorry about your diagnosis. You will feel in a daze for a while, I still remember being told I had bc. It was one of the most soul crushing days. Please try and stay positive though I know it's hard. Talk to friends and family if you can. It's a long road ahead but there is a finish line. 

I was diagnosed on the 3rd of December and I'm going in next week to have surgery and will start treatment after. You 're in the best possible hands. Has the consultant indicated what surgery etc you'll be needing or are they waiting for the scans first? I had an MRI twice as the first one failed and I needed a marker put in the tumour. 

Don't be hard on yourself either. Your allowed to feel upset, angry etc. My poor husband has been my emotional punch bag.

If you need someone to talk to that's going through it then the ladies on here are so lovely, it's reassuring to know I'm not by myself if you know what I mean. Happy to listen to if you need a virtual friend. 

You've got this and we've got you. You are a warrior and will get through this

Hi [@Chu53]‍ 

welcome to the forum, I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I can imagine it was an awful shock for you. I felt that my world has turned upside down when I was told my diagnosis. This time for me was the worst as you are waiting for tests and test results but once you get your treatment plan things will settle down a bit. It's a long road ahead but completely doable, I was diagnosed with grade 3 and lymph node involvement in March 2019, I've had chemo, mastectomy with Diep reconstruction and I start radiotherapy next week, after that I am on preventative medications. It's completely doable just take one day at a time and deal with what you know not what you think might happen. 
There's lots of support in here if you need it.

take care
