Hi! I’ve lurked and read for a few weeks but now post op I dared to register and post.

So far the waiting. The glances and things that aren’t said is the worst thing about this. 

I asked my consultant what exactly he was looking for and he said he would tell me when he needed too. That means I did a lot of googling :/ 

I just want to know... as I’m sure we all do. We're all here with you!

Thanks, it is the lack of controle, the fact we can not do anything to solve this problem without having to wait. I am going tomorrow 8:30am to receive the results of biopsy and ct scan. Part of me really needs to know and move on and do something about it but part of me does not want to know... how long do you still have to wait? Have you been diagnosed yet?

Hi! Been thinking about you today, I hope you got some answers.

I still have another week or so to wait, they said 2-3 weeks and I'm not even in a week in yet

Thanks! Had the hospital appointment and it was confirmed bc grade two but they don’t know stage yet as I have a bone scan this Friday. It is left breast plus one lymph and they worried about something showing on the ct scan in one of my spine discs but won’t k ow until bone scan done. Spent the day crying as one do and my head is numb, can’t think further than a few minutes at the time. Told everyone and that was the hardest thing but now feeling better for not being alone in this. My husband being great and my son really brave bless him. Let’s the fight commence!

So sorry bout diagnosis ... l remember so well, the first numb feeling ... l stayed in spare bedroom and didn't come out for two days ... didn't want to speak to anyone ... but for me, that works .. I was cried out and ready to get in the ring, and take him to 13 rounds if needed .. 

So give yourself the time and feelings you need to ... the word it's self is scary ... if you feel angry, that's normal ... at first everything is overwhelming.. and like we said a lot on here.. it's like they put you on a big rollercoaster... and have no control as to when you get off ...

Now saying all that, there's lots of us here, on that same rollercoaster.. lots of different stages, but we will help you through if you want.. I'm 6 months post mastectomy.. and if I could go back in time, to the first days, I'd tell myself ... the op won't be half as bad, or painfull as you think.. and hold on tight, it's a bit of a bumpy ride, but with great family right by your side, you'll get there ... you don't realise just how strong you are , till your backs against the wall ... 

So my hunny, get your boxing gloves ready .. try not to look too far ahead ... one day, and one problem at a time ... many of us have walked your path ... and we hold on and share feelings, no matter what they are ... and we all try to kick cancers *** ... cancer wants you weak, it has no empathy ... but you can do this, one day at a time ... big hug Chrissie xx
