Hi NessiJessi,

Welcome to this thread where you can be sure to get some support from everyone sharing their journeys.  I know I have from when I first started the thread  at the beginning of my own journey.

Im sorry to hear about your situation, and how worried you are about yourself and your daughter.  Do ask for and accept all the help you can at the moment.  Does your little daughter attend nursery/pre-school.  I'm sure other Mum's would be very willing to help pick her up and mind her for you whilst you attend appointments.  My children are much older but I have had a lot of support from their friends parents.  I know we dont like to ask for or accept help, but people really are very kind and will be happy to help you I'm sure.   

In these worrying times when we get results and a few knock backs, it's easy to over think everything and expect the worst.  I have done that many times!  Try not to jump ahead and take every stage as it comes, advice I have found to be very useful!  You will then look back and wonder how you got through it, but you will.    In a way the awful and worst part is all the waiting for tests and results.   You've got through that already so pat yourself in the back!  You can now press on with your treatment plan in the knowledge that you will be very well looked after.    Do keep in regular contact with your allocated nurse too at the clinic.  They are very good at getting back with queries and reassurance.

I'll be joining you on the way as I get my post op pathology results this afternoon!

Take care.  Everyone on here is wonderful and will be happy to help any time you need it.

Sorry to hear you are feeling so down.  It's tough some days and you're right, we worry about family worrying about us!   My eldest son has special needs and has 1:1 PA's and Carers like yourself.  I have first hand experience of how you all transform our lives with your support and the lives of our vulnerable children and young adults.   Without people like you, our families lives would be much harder.  You do an amazing job.
 

THE TIME HAS COME TO PUT YOURSELF FIRST!  It it's now your turn.  Please stop worrying about everyone else and do all you can to focus on yourself.   At the moment that is all that matters.

I'm keeping everything crossed for you for surgery dates soon.

I'm happy to report that I saw my surgeon today after their multidisciplinary meeting post mastectomy.  My knees were knocking but I'm thrilled that everything was as expected, no node involvement or any vascular involvement, everything is gone!

At 3 o clock she still hadn't had the HER2 protein test results.  Apparently my boob had been on a bit of a tour to be analysed at a larger hospital in the north west and it's negative!  My surgeon just phoned me at home.  No chemo needed and they've sent me on my merry way with Tamoxifen!

What a journey this has been these last 3 months.  
Shoutout to our wonderful NHS and breast clinics who do an amazing job looking after us all.

Stay positive everyone waiting for results and I hope you all get the news you want.  Thinking of you all this evening.

That's fantastic Mary. So very happy for you.

Wonderful news Mary. I'm delighted for you. Well done for getting through all the anxiety and worry. I don't think anyone else really 'gets it' like people in similar situations.you should be very proud of yourself.

Thank you everyone.  I feel I can have some peace now.  No-one knows what it's like unless they are going through it and I got to the other side, and somewhat quicker than I expected.   This thread and everyone else's stories helped me more than you could ever know. Thankyou all.  I'm signing off for now but I will be thinking of you all, and send my love to everyone.    You've all got this!

Mary xxxx
