I am experiencing this exact same right now. Exactly the same happened to me and 2 days before Xmas I had biopsies done and mental clips inserted. I am going on Friday for results and I am absolutely petrified.

I have a 17 and 13 year old been married 23 years and have so much planned for 2025. I feel like I am living in a nightmare. 

I hope your results came back OK, and you have managed to beat it. As I can see this comment was some time ago. 

All the best for 2025

Am with you Annette,and the feeling is just awful,especially the unknown,it just sends your head into overtime and such an overwhelming feeling to deal with. I have everything crossed for you for Friday,sending you the biggest hugs,like it's already been said,you can beat anything,even if right now it feels like everything is falling apart. Take care of yourself. Suzanne x

Hi Suzanne. I'm really sorry to hear this. However as you say you will come through this. Keeping a positive attitude is so important. Having a plan really helps to focus this mind, I found. Hopefully this will be the same for you. I really do recommend the services of Breast Cancer Now. The seminars  the Someone Like Me service and their group meetings. 

Take it step by step. Wishing you all the best. X

Hi all. I just wanted to check in with you all and see how you are doing. 

I'm in the worst of my side effects from my last chemo treatment. Im hoping things pick up from tomorrow. But I'm glad it will be the last chemo treatment. 

My tumour markers  were back under 30 on Monday so that's a relief. I was very worried about that. I got back to a 75% Docetaxel dose (I has a 60% dose on Christmas Eve) I now move to radiotherapy. I have the planning CT scan on 3rd Feb and start the 20 sessions over 4 weeks on 10th Feb. My oncologist also said that they can start the hormone treatment at the same time so I'm seeing her on 3rd Feb for that too.

Sending big virtual hugs to everyone. Xx 

Hi all,am still waiting to have my treatment,chemotherapy is going to be first,so waiting to get my marker fitted and my health checks and then a picc fitted. Am so anxious waiting around,as much as am dreading starting it,I am also wishing the months away to finish it all. Am not sleeping very well so am drained too. Hope everyone is doing ok,and staying as strong as you possibly can. We have got this ladies,we are built from strong stuff. Sending big hugs and lots of love to you all xxx

Hi RedRuth,

I hope that you start feeling a little better soon. So, you're now on the last chemo? I'm sure that you'll be glad to have that behind you. I am glad to see that all is in place for you to start your radiotherapy in February and to learn that you can start your hormone therapy at the same time.

Here's hoping that you sail through it all.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Suzanne,

I am so sorry to hear your diagnosis. I imagine that this must have come as quite a shock to you. How are you coping with this? The waiting around to start is always a frustrating time, but it shouldn't take too long to get everything in place to start. Have you looked into mindfulness to help you sleep? It might be worth a try.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you Jolamine. I have turned a corner today so I hope that lasts. I have managed to get out of the house and do the walk to and from school which feels like a big achievement after this weekend. 

I hope you are doing well. Xx

 RedRuth84  Oh lovely thats amazing news with your markers and that you have completed chemo!!! 
YOU HIT THE FINISHING LINE!!!!!! Im over the moon for you as you’re on that home stretch now.

I hope your feeling a bit better, do you find the pegfilgrastim makes you feel worse? 

Sending a massive welldone and a hug!! xxx

Oh Suzanne73 the waiting is horrible but once you start treatment time moves weirdly in my experience. The days are long and the weeks are fast! 
Ive also got a Picc line and having it fitted felt like a little scratch of the numbing treatment first and then it was done! And as much as Ive missed showering over bathing I have to say having a Picc has made taking bloods and treatment so much easier. 
My chemo plan was dose dense EC for 4 treatments followed by 4 Piclataxels which Ive just recently started so I have 3 treatments left. 
I know its all scary and *** but once you start treatment you will be on the track to the homestretch of treatment. 
Sending lots of love and hugs back xxxx

It's good to know someone has been through this as scared as l am.Had my operation in on Dec 3 after been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer  ER positive

They had to remove quiet a few lymph nodes and yesterday l was told l had to have chemo as well   EC and paclitaxel

Am so scared

Thought the surgery and tablets will be it

Hmmm

Oh bless you Winchest , Im so sorry to hear your going through this too. Whole thing can feel very scary but once you start treatment the process becomes the count down and before you know it your closer to the end of active treatment than the start.
How are you feeling after surgery?

Chemo is tough but it’s doable, you got this! I have found EC and Paclitaxel quite different from each other so far, EC for a few days after each infusion felt like a beastly hangover where as Paclitaxel hasnt made me feel ill or tired so far but its brought about some aches and pains for sure but both were manageable and honestly they have tablets and medication for almost every side effect you can think of so just make sure you let the chemo nurses know. My experiences may be different to yours but if there is anything I can help with please feel free to ask :-)! 

Ive found this mantra has helped me “the only way out is through”! You got this!! Xxx
