Hi All!

I hope everyone managed to get at least a little bit of respite from the fear and anxiety this weekend.

Vicki - how was the beach hut? Hope that fresh air did the trick for you.

Take care of yourselves xx

I took the kids to the cinema on Saturday, and then had my sons 4th birthday party on Sunday. So I've managed to keep quite well distracted!! 
 

The breast clinic just called, and they've moved my results appointment to 9:40 on Thursday, instead of 11:40. So at least I don't have to worry all morning. It will be school run, then appointment!! Praying for benign results!! Xxx

Really glad to hear you are doing well! And yay for a nice glass of wine! 

Thanks Vicki. 

Yes very much a relief that no invasive. Plan is in place so just onwards and upwards from here! The waiting was definitely the worst! 

Apparently it's a mixture of low and intermediate grade so that's positive too.

How are you doing lovely? X

Hi PositiveT

It's good news that they are low and intermediate. Do you know how big they are?

That's the one thing I forgot to ask!!

So no idea!!

I will ask next time I see the doctor.

Hello

I'm OK. Had to have mammogram and then a biopsy of my neck this morning then i saw the consultant andbthe decision has been made to start me on chemotherapy first, so seeing oncologist on Tuesday to find out how often how long what dose I suppose? I'll be having hormone therapy at the same time. I'm definitely going to do the fasting before chemo as I've read positive things about doing that. 

I'm not going to use a cold cap, but I am having a hair replacement system made so I don't have to look at myself bald!! It's the one thing I can control at least hope all of you lovely ladies are doing OK. Xxx

Hi!

Good to hear your treatment plan is coming together and I hope your meeting with the oncologist goes well on Tuesday. I've not heard of hair replacement system but it sounds really positive!

I remember when my mum lost her hair from chemo......she bumped into my then boyfriend on the landing one night (in just her knickers - don't ask me why she was wandering around half naked!! ) and instead of covering her boobs she put her hands over her head!! He was mortified haha!!!

You've got this Vicki! Sending lots of love xx

Oh bless your mum and how funny it was the head that was grabbed instinctively!! 

Thanks my dear. I'm certainly trying to deal with this. Xxx

Evening ladies!

Just thought I'd check in to see how everyone is doing.

Sending hugs x

Hello

How are you doing? So my update is that I saw my oncologist yesterday and start chemo on Tuesday. I also had the results of my neck biopsy tonight and it's negative thank goodness!! I cried with relief. So it's only in my left boob and the invasive nodules are both less than a cm. I'm triple positive so hope to respond well to chemo and hormone therapy. My chemo qill be every two weeks for 8 weeks and then I'll be checked and then move on to a different chemo drug once weekly for 12 weeks. 5 months in total. 

Xxx

Hi Vicki, 

So good to hear from you and so pleased that the neck biopsy was negative. And triple positive is great news too. Wishing you all the best for your first chemo. You've got this!

I'm doing fine. Still waiting for MRI date but expecting it to be next week then assuming all as expected will be having my surgery 10th March. Fingers crossed.

It's my birthday next Thursday so hoping I will be able to have lunch with my mum and sis rather than in an MRI but we shall see!!!

Thank you for your update! Sending lots of love xx
