Hi GL91. Unfortunately sorry to hear this. However the Dr's sound positive. I wish you all the best. I'll follow your other thread. Stay strong and keep thinking positive. X

Hi Vampi,

I am so sorry to hear this. Were you told what type of breast cancer you have or what grade it is? Irrespective of the outcome, it is always a relief to find out, as living in the world of the unknown is pure torture. 
l am glad to hear that you are going to have a follow up MRI

No.i asked them but they said they wouldn't know type and stage till they investigated lump and nodes.

Don't know if that's normal as I see most people saying what type etc before their surgery. 

Anyone else have this info after surgery?

Hope your doing OK jola xxx

Hi Vamp. They would normally tell you the grade 1-3 and whether it had hormone receptors after the biopsy. But yes stage and more detailed results will come after surgery. Xx

No they never told me a thing about it.hmmm weird now I'm wonder why.xx

Maybe they have a different policy in your area.  Worth asking the nurses in a call next week (I know mine don't work weekends).  Xx

Hi Vamp,

Perhaps they'll know more after you have your MRI? I'm keeping well thanks.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Gl91,

I am so sorry to hear this. Did they say what stage your cancer is? It is reassuring that your consultant has told you that this is treatable. It is not unusual to start with chemo to reduce the size of the tumour, before having surgery. As you say, it will be a bumpy journey, but you'll soon get through it.

Please keep in touch and remember, that we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi, in 37 and unfortunately just been diagnosed with cancer positive. I also have a 2 year old and a 7 year old, bouncy cheerful girls so I can understand how it must be hard for you having your little one with this potential illness. I wanted to post in and say please don’t worry as we are in a time where there is so much technology to help us get the right help and support. I noticed you have posted your message 12 days ago, assuming you got your results by now. Do reply and let us know, i’m here if you need any advice.

I have been told I need a mastectomy and torn between breast reconstruction or just keep it plain. :/
