Right stage 1bc. Caught early. Go in for my op a week this Friday. Just lump removed. Then tested to see if I need chemo or radiation. I'm also going for the gene test as I have a 12 Yr old daughter. Do I want to cover every angle.

Such a relief knowing now. It's treatable. Xx

Right I've been diagnosed with stage 1 bc. Caught early. Just a lumpectomy and one lymph node is going to be removed. Then the lump tested to see if I need chemo or radiation. Go in for my op a week this Friday.

So yes I'm still upset I've got cancer but not as extreme as what I was thinking.

Roll on op. Xx

Hi, 

I have been checking for an update , I am so pleased it is caught early and you have a treatment plan, I hope you can now find some relief from the anxiety and stress.

I wish you all the luck in world xx

So sorry didn't respond personally. I won't lie it was the hardest day of my life. Never want to feel like that again. I honestly didn't think I'd make it to my appointment.

Once in, my consultant put me at ease straight away. Once I heard the word treatable my shoulders relaxed, and my legs gained some strength back lol.

Now I know my diagnoses properly and the plan they have set out for me I feel like the jax two weeks ago prior to this nightmare is slowly returning. Xx

I'm there for you all the way. Xx 

Hi Jax,

Thank you for the update. I am sorry to hear that it is breast cancer, but I am glad that you have caught it early and now have a plan for the way forward. Isn't it amazing how even with a cancer diagnosis, you feel better now that you have a way forward?

It is good to hear that you do not need to lose your breast and, I hope that you'll have no need for chemo after surgery. Have you been told what type of breast cancer you have? I am delighted to hear that you are getting your operation so soon, as reducing the waiting time should also help to reduce your stress.

Please let us know how you get on and remember that we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

It's the common one apparantly. Whichever that one is but they are sending me for the Brca test too to see if its hereditary. I have a 12 year old daughter, Georgiana, so as one of my sisters had it I need to cover all angles. Hormonal one was mentioned too.

The information the Macmillan nurse gave me I've found a great help. Sat last night reading it all. Scary but very informative.

My consultant is lovely. They have a way of easing you straight away. I thought I was going to pass out before I even entered my unit. As soon as he started talking all my body came back to life.

Operation next. I'm sure il have that fear return again but will wake up after, knowing that it's out and then the next stage begins. Xx
