The waiting is so hard like you say can imagine you just want to know when everything is. You're doing amazing hope you're hot family friends round you. 

Thinking of you. So so hard waiting on calls and appointments.

I'm still waiting on my biopsy results nothing like what you're going through but I'm trying to be prepared either way it really is the not knowing that's hard.

I'd be the same as you would just want it out etc.

Keep me updated on treatments and when you know about more always here if need to off load.

This site is amazing helps so much reading other people's experiences and advice.

XXX big hugs

Hi just thought see how your feeling xx 

Hi @K86 thank you for checking in on me :-)

I am having a better day today, yesterday was emotional but today I'm stronger. Guess it will be up and down for the next few months now.

I think it's just the lack of control at the moment, not knowing which route we are going means I can't put plans in place. I'm holding off telling my parents and children until I know whether it's surgery or chemo first as I want a plan before I drop it on them.

I have an amazing husband and a rock of a sister so I am very supported. I've also told my best friend this morning which has also helped because again I felt I was in control (never realised how much of a control freak I am lol)

How are you doing? Any news on biopsy results? When did you have the biopsy?

X

You're doing amazing id be exactly the same I always like to get things straight in my head a bit. Really hope you know soon the plan.

Always here if need to offload or chat can give you my what app or Instagram if a help.

Must be such a shock. How old are your children? 

I have one son 14. I had biopsy done week ago last Friday. Definitely trying to be prepared either way. How did you come across your lump?

Really hope you know a bit more soon you got this xx 

I have 2 boys aged 15 and 11, they are not going to like talking about mom's book! Lol

I noticed the skin had changed on my left breast and a slight bump in March this year, however my right breast had a bloody discharge from the nipple so they only scanned that one as they said they only scan the symptomatic one! So annoyed now. I had a duct removal from the right breast in April but the bump in my left seemed to get bigger, I wasn't sure if it was getting bigger or if it was because I was getting smaller owing to the fact I joined slimming world in May and have lost quite a bit. Anyway thought I'd go again and get it checked... glad I did now but do wonder how long it's been there.

Hope you get your results soon and that it's good news, keep me updated. The waiting is torture. My breast care nurse gave me good advice to only focus on the here and now. You've ticked off things already in terms of going to GP, getting the biopsy etc

I'm focusing on work today as feel I've let it slip the last few days, then the weekend will be busy with homelife.  I just hope the results are ready this Wednesday and I don't have to wait another week!

Definitely such good advice I thought that on the biopsy Kelt thinking just go with what's happening as not keen on needles  

I'm 36 mine is in the left only about 15 mm think they said sort of where my heart is and mainly feel it in the shower or sat up sometimes tender.

Hope work goes ok and keep me updated take it easy thinking of you xx 

So my HER2 results have been confirmed as negative, now waiting for appointment to see the surgeon to discuss the operation.

I am in agony with low back pain so of course I have convinced myself it's related to the breast cancer :-( just want to get in a full body scanner right now!

Told my parents at the weekend which I can honestly say was just as hard as being told myself all over again.

I am finding mornings the worst as I'm waking up at 4am and it's the first thing I think of. Soon as hubby goes to work I feel overwhelmed with emotion but have to keep it in for the kids. I know as soon as they go to school I'll be crying on my way to work(I just don't want to go right now) 

Feel like I'm weak and angry that I'm just not getting a grip! Just want it out now please!

Sorry for venting just feel like this is a safe space as I tell family I'm fine and life must carry on as normal! I'm such a fraud :-(

You're bound to feel such a mix of emotions such a lot to take in sending you a big big cuddle Do the her2 results mean if it's a hormone type one? Sorry as I'm a bit new to it all. Still waiting on my results.

Yes can image any aches and pains must feel so scary fingers crossed for MRI scan

You are definitely not weak normal to feel sad angry scared. Here anytime to write away keep me updated.

Thinking of you xx 

Hi @K86

[@K86]‍  her2 is a protein on the surface of cancer cells. Some have higher than normal levels which helps them grow. If my HER2 came back positive I would require chemotherapy first. As its come back negative I can go for surgery without Chemo (if anything is found in my lymph nodes then we will discuss chemotherapy again)

How are you getting on? I've now got an appointment to see my surgeon on Monday to discuss the procedure. The waiting for news is the hardest part so I completely understand how anxious you must be feeling. No amount of 'try to keep busy' and 'not think about it' advice worked for me. It was constantly on my mind.
