3 weeks on Thursday since I had my biopsy, phoned the breast nurse today, results still aren't in. When they are, I will still have to wait for the MDT meeting before getting an appointment. This is hard.
I spoke to the breast cancer nurse this afternoon. Apparently my results are not showing on the system but my name is down for the MDT meeting tomorrow so someone might have them I guess. I should hear something on Monday, if not, I am to phone on Tuesday and by then, apparently, they should be able to give me some concrete information. I am not quite convinced they will be able to since, if the results don't arrive in time for tomorrow's meeting, they will have to wait until after the next MDT meeting which is not until next Wednesday, so another week which will take me up to 4 weeks of waiting.
No nothing, which either means my results aren't in yet or they are writing to me. I left a message for the breast nurse just before the cut off time at 3.30 today for answering message today so it may be tomorrow. Thanks for asking but still none the wiser.
I keep going to bed early so I don't have to think but then I wake early, my body seems to think 7 hours is enough sleep. If I wake at 5 tomorrow morning and its dry I will go for a walk, might spot a hare. I have a GP phone appointment at 8am tomorrow because I can't do nothing and was due a bone scan last year which didn't happen. I want to set that up because if I do have cancer I know all the treatments are detrimental to bone density and I was diagnosed with osteopenia. Just feels like I am being pro active. Even if I am clear I am still due a scan anyway.

Oh my goodness Nettie the waiting must be absolutely awful. I really do feel for you. I lam trying to make myself as busy as possible every day but the anxiety eats away doesn’t it. Thinking of you x
I have Osteopenia too- been on HRT for years due to early menopause. Supposed to take alandronic acid but I saw the side effects were terrible so just have calcium and vitamin d and do a lot of walking!! X
Haven't been prescribed alandronic acid, so take calcium, walk (4 x lurchers) and do HIIT workouts 3 times a week. Need to get back to riding which is how this all started. Fell off, broke some ribs, CT scan revealed mass on left breast, radiologist thought it was a fibroadenoma but said it needed to be checked out. Ultrasound radiologist didn't agree hence the biopsy and waiting. Only took HRT for less than a year.
I was told with my type of cancer that HRT would have fed it , it’s crazy is women ain’t hslf complicated, I hadn’t started menapausal symptoms until after I started taxing the blocker tanoxifen wish I could have HarT now lol
Oh my goodness!! Those broken ribs must have hurt a lot! We have 3 doggies and according to the children I love the dogs more than them which is of course true!!! It’s a shame we can’t add pics on here as all us dog lovers could add our furry friends!
I have been on it for 15 years as I had an early menopause. One of my biggest concerns which is silly in the grand scheme of things is that if I get bad news on Thursday and it’s oestrogen positive I will have to come off my beloved HRT. I had really bad menopausal symptoms so the thought of all that isn’t nice. Sorry you are having symptoms now Lara. Must be very very annoying. X
