Diagnosis

Hi, thought that I would give an update to my biopsy results I had last week. Unfortunately they couldnt get enough tissue from the spine, so at the results appointment they are treating me with secondary breast cancer and want me to have another MRI to see if they can find another place to take another biopsy from. I'm hoping they cant because to be honest it wasnt pleasant. However, the good news is, I wont need Chemo, just radio and hormone treatment so all is good. Just to say, I know we all do it, cant help it but google is absolutely no good as I was convinced that was it and I was going to die, but this is treatable and so ate many others. . No one can understand how you feel, so this forum is fantastic to support each other and understand all your emotions x

  • Hello MandyB1965, 

    I am sorry that they were unable to get enough tissue from the spine. I hope that it won't be as unpleasant for you next time though. Excellent news that you won't need chemotherapy. Thank you for sharing all this with us as I am sure it will be inspirational to many who are currently going through the same thing. You are absolutely right, Google tends to bring up all the worst case scenarios making you expect the worst often unnecessarily. It's such good news that it is treatable for you. I am so pleased that this forum has given you fantastic support. 

    Let us know how things develop for you. We're all here for you every step of the way so don't hesitate to give us updates and let us know how you are doing. 

    Best wishes,
