Hi UltraTrailRunner and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

Knowing the outcome could be 50/50 must be making this so difficult, but I'm glad the wait is finally over and I hope all goes well with your appointment today.

If you have any questions before or after your appointment, you can speak to one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to help.

In the meantime, we're sending you all our support UltraTrailRunner and will have our fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi UltraTrailRunner I just wanted to say good luck for today.  Please let us know how you get on.

Thank you. 
I had a call with the breast cancer nurse yesterday as I wanted to prepare myself. 
She initially checked that I knew what I was being tested for. She said I was tested for malignancy (I knew that) and that the results are showing it’s abnormal. She explained I will get to go through it today with the consultant. She explained it’s a long complex report. I asked if a breast cancer nurse would be in the room with me when I get my results and she said they would and I’d get to sit down with them afterwards. 
I said - that sort of confirms it then doesn’t it. And she agreed. 
I’m glad I know now, so today I can attend with a list of questions - as I would have thought it would have been a waste of time to do that. 
I really wasn’t expecting it as I just assumed it was a cyst. 
So here goes the next few hours preparing questions.. feel a bit lost today. 
Any advice with questions for today would be great

TIA

Yes I sort of knew when I went to the consultant so was a bit more prepared.  I would say definitely take someone with you and also if you ask permission you are able to record the interview.  I never remembered half of what was said and my husband remembered a lot more than me.  All as I wanted to know is what treatment I was having and when?  When I knew the treatment plan, I felt a lot better and just wanted to get on with it and get the cancer out.  We went into a room with a nurse after we saw the consultant and she answered a lot of questions and gave us lots of information which was helpful.  I had lumpectomy, chemo, radiotherapy and then tamoxifen/letrazole.    I didn't take any questions with me as like you I felt lost and just didn't know what to expect.  Please keep in touch and let me know how you get on today.  Sorry I can't be much help.  Big hugs.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I will let you know what happens x

It sounds like we are about the same place. I attended one stop clinic Tuesday, have a 5cm palpable lump. MRI on Sunday and CT on Tuesday. My face to face not until 23rd March but 3 biopsies taken already 

So my samples came back as invasive. 
Plan is lumpectomy 26/03 with lymph node removals. 
Then radiotherapy and long term tablets.

Treatment plan will change if results from surgery are different to what they are expecting.  

It’s amazing how quick they get moving isn’t it ?

how many days ago did you first see clinic ?

So, you found out it was malignant before going back to hospital ?

if so, I might call my team, get prepared
