  • Hi Anna

    Thank you for your kind words, I am 49 and my middle name is Anne it is surreal and just driving to work today I broke down just thinking that my life is flashing in front of me and so scared right now and just don't know where to go or what to say, trying so hard to stay strong for my kids they are all grown up but my job is to protect them and scared I can't do that xxx

  • [@kerry71]‍ hi lovely, i can see your diagnosis went deep in you but cancer it's curable, remember that. To be for your kids late at the moment you have to look after yourself and help yourself.

Very hard now but you still free until your treatment , remember we all the same we scared , we cry ,its very normal! I dont want to tell people around me as im not ready for that , i think people will se my cancer and judge me , but its not true ! Im the same like you its very hard but remember one day it will be over .talk to me iam here for you xZ

Fingers and everything else crossed for myself and everyone else, hope everyone is okay.

  • Hi All

    Update, had a call from my nurse today, CT scan has come back as clear so no spread and left lump is 2.5cms and they have found something in my right breast so now need another scan and biopsy, but the goods need they told me that whatever it is its treatable and my prognosis is good. Feeling very positive today.

    xxxxbig hugs everyone xxxx

    Hi Kerry,

    This is great news - not so good about the right breast, but hope that this turns out well too. Breast cancer is one of the most eminently treatable forms of cancer, so it is reassuring when they say that it is treatable.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how the new scan and biopsy go. Remember that we are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

    Hi Cathyben,

    I sincerely hope that your meeting today gave you some answers. i sincerely hope that they were wrong about the secondaries in the armpit.

    Thinking of you and always here if you want to talk.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hi Jolamine 

    Thank you, I didn't write this very well, I am having an ultrasound and biopsy on the right, as the MRI showed a slight concern but they have said that it isn't mastitis so hasn't spread to any of my organs as they are all clear and the nurse was very positive over the current prognosis. I am taking this as a positive and know I still have a long way to go but there is light at the end of the tunnel after yesterday's call

    Hi Kerry,

    Here's hoping that the nurse is right. It all sounds very positive for now and, it's good to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Don't forget to let us know how it all goes.

    Fingers crossed for some good news.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hi All.  Hope everyone is okay been a while but finally have most of my answers, results from the right side were benign I have my operation on Monday which is a lumpectomy and node removal, been told they don't think I will need chemo but not 100% sure until after the full results. Feeling more positive but not had the stage yet as I am pressuring this will be after the removal and tests have come back.

     

    thank you to everyone for all your support xxx
