I was in the same position as you. I was told at the scans that it doesn't look good. I was told it was going to be a two week wait for biopsy results, but I kept calling the nurse to find out if my results had come, I think because she knew I was anxious she told me on the day that they arrived.
I was diagnosed with invasive ductal stage 2. They said it's curable but they've asked for more scans to see if it's spread. I still feel anxious because of the ct and mri scans. But I'm hoping it's positive news.
Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions
Hi Zay, how long was it by the time you got it after calling? I call them daily. I feel like I'm hassling them. Guilty even. But it's keeping me up at night. Can't think of anything else. So you have to wait for those result now before your treatment plan or is there one? How do you cope? When did you have the additional tests?
So it took 7 days for the results to come back. It kept me up at night too, felt anxious, was reading around too much. I felt so numb during the waiting period but then when I got the diagnosis I just let it out and cried.
They've said it's spread to the lymph nodes but if it's just there then it's curable. So the additional Tests will tell them more, whether it's spread further than the lymp nodes. The waiting is killing me. I had a CT scan yesterday, on Monday I have a bone test and then on Friday I have an MRI. Just feel so overwhelmed with it all.
If its the stage they say its at then the treatment plan would be chemo, surgery and then radiation.
I get the waiting game is hard, what's the stage they think? How are you feeling within yourself? Do you work? So you'll know more when I hopefully find out what's happening with me.
I'm okay at times and sometimes I just start feeling anxious. Everytime i feel anxious i just call someone or I go out with someone. I've been talking to family and friends for support. I've spoken to Lara who's responded in this chat and she's been great at keeping me positive.
It's stage 2, grade 3. The hardest part for me is that I'm 36 with no children and when they asked if I wanted to freeze eggs i just got overwhelmed. I do work, but since the diagnosis I haven't. The worst thing is next week none of my team members are going to be in the office as they'll be going for conference. So I don't think work will keep me busy atm.
I feel the same. Ok one moment and the the anxiety kicks in and I feel like my world is imploding. I haven't told a lot of people yet as I don't know the stage and treatment yet. Thing is I don't know how to make my problems someone else's. Found it hard to start chatting in here. You ladies have helped me a great deal and thank you. Lara has been great and been talking me through it as well.
I am 41, 3 kids and work full time. Body has been warning me something is up but haven't listened. Guess I should have. Most of my family don't know yet.
