Waiting on results from a week ago,go in today to find out.

Have breast lump.Had mammogram, ultrasound and biopsies. 

Consultant said its "presenting "as cancerous. So those words have been dancing round my mind for a week.

The waiting has to be the worst part.

I just want to know either way so I can get on with it.

I have a 9yr old daughter. She needs me.

Will read on to see how you get on.

Thinking of you xx

Thank you. I will think of you too. My head feels proper mashed at minute. Its awful all of this i feel sickly with it all today. Our daughters do need us.. she is all i can think about. Sending you love xx

Sorry to hear your results.. mine as come back same too.. ductal carcinoma.. dr was very confident towards me and said its treatable and even asked if i wanted to preserve my eggs etc for a pregnancy later on. Its going to be a bumpy road for us! We got this! If you ever want a buddy im here xx

Aw I'm so sorry to hear this .Been wondering how you got on.

Don't you feel its a weird sense of relief just the knowing?

Not the news any of us wanted to hear though. 

One step at a time.

Yes I guess we have strangers on a screen as buddies now all going through similar situations. 

Take care will look for your new thread to keep up with your story.

Take care xxx

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

Yes as weird as it sounds i feel more of a weight lifted just knowing and knowing which type it is too. 

I just want to crack on with treatment now! Even though i am scared at the same time. I told i could be waiting a few week for chemo and in my head im thinking what if it is spreading though.. is it normal to think that? I did mention it to the dr and nurse and they just shook there heads. X

I had exactly the same worry about it spreading whilst waiting for treatment. I think it's a totally normal worry.  Hopefully you'll start treatment soon. X

Thank you for replying.. this is what i am going through right now. Did you speak to your consultant about those worries? X

Not the consultant but I did speak to a few nurses of different occasions. They were quite dismissive of it to be honest when I said I was worried about the wait and just said you are already on treatment (referring to the tamoxifen) but I'm not sure how effective that is before any other treatment.  However the op came around quickly. Now I just need to wait for more results. The waiting  for results are horrid but I'm more relaxed now than I was waiting for the biopsy results.   I'm normally an anxious person and I usually overthink everything but I think I've come to the realisation that I can't do that here as it will probably be worse for me.  So I put it to the back of my mind.
