Hi Millie,

Welcome to the forum. I am glad to hear that you have had some reassurance from reading this thread. Sometimes your consultant will be pretty sure that you need treatment, even before they get the results of your tests. This happened to me too. I expect that when someone is dealing with cancer day in day out, it must almost become second nature to know which are cancerous and which are benign. Still, you cannot be sure until you get your results on Wednesday. They will tell you then what type of breast cancer you have and what grade it is.

Don't be phased by the speed with which everything happens at this stage. This is perfectly normal. Try to keep yourself busy this week to distract yourself from the wait.

Can you bring someone with you to your appointment? It is always a good idea to do this, especially when you are going for results. If you have any questions for the consultant, jot them down. This way you won't forget to ask them in the heat of the moment.

Do please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

I shall be thinking of you on Wednesday and am keeping my fingers crossed.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hello Jolamine,

I hope you're on the road to recovery yourself. 

Best wishes

Hi Millie,

I am glad to hear that your partner will be with you. It makes such a diference to have someone there, especially if it turns out to be bad news. You will find it useful to have a list of any questions you wish to put to the consultant.

I am keeping well at present with my breast cancer. I go back to see the plastic surgeon for review of 2 melanoma sites on Tuesday. Both were clear on biopsy, so I'm hoping that it will still be good news.

I shall be thinking of you on Wednesday and, hope that it all goes well.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

I i Jolamine,

Good luck for Tuesday I'll be thinking of you too, keep me posted. 

All the best

Hi my doctor didn't have any idea what was wrong with me so sent me to specialist who sent me for alot of blood tests when results came back he told me it looks like cancer but will send for scans and biopsy, scans confirmed cancer but I still had biopsies even though no nead really,, most specialist know what to look for, in blood or scans, but it doesn't heart to make sure,, that was over three years ago I'm non curable but it's manageable, I'm still fighting,

Hi Millie,

I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Did they say when you would be starting chemo and, how may sessions you will have?

I saw the plastic surgeon yesterday and he was happy with my biopsy wounds. You can hardly see the one on my face, but the one on my leg is quite obvious. He told me that this will take up to a year to heal completely. Still, he was happy enough that there is no further cancer present.

Kind regards,

Hi Jolamine, thank you. I need to have a CT scan waiting for that to come through, see the oncologist to discuss the treatment demanding on one of the biopsy result that was still outstanding when i went on Wednesday, more waiting though my consultant said it'll be mid August. What type of cancer do you have if you don't mind me? Am pleased to hear your healing well, your body needs to recover slowly. 

Send positivity.

Millie
