Last 4 weeks were possibly the worse of my life with waiting and more waiting. Was told 10 days ago cancer possibly spread to bones and spend 10 days thinking that was it for me, that I would not see my son become an adult, a lot of crying. Anyway yesterday I saw the doctor and was told it is stage II and no spread. I feel I have been given another life line! I know I have a year ahead of chimio and op and so on but I am so grateful it is not worse than what it is. I sound crazy but I am happy for the first time in 4 week, I slept last night and I feel really positive I will beat this. X

Hi Ana. So sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I had my op & finished treatment in May just gone.

Yes the waiting is absolutely agonising but they need to test and look at everything so they know what they're dealing with and best way to treat so they get rid of it.

Most cancers are treatable or "livable" so rest assured now that you know what you're dealing with its onwards. You're on the radar and going to be through all this soon. Everyone reacts differently but just tackle one step at a time. You got this!

Family is there to help and lean on. I wouldn't have made it without them. I will be honest and tell you I found it tough but this forum has been great. Just remember everyone reacts differently.  Keep us posted.

Thanks for your kind words! I feel like I am more in controle now. Can’t wait for the day I am saying this is all in the past but that day is what is keeping me going forward. I know in my heart I am beating this just a bit worried about the ride I am just about to start. Xx

Hi Ana ... been a little tied up and sorry not back to you earlier ... 

So glad it's a grade 2 and not spread ... woo hoo and high 5 for that ... once the panic starts to get less, you get strength from somewhere inside that tells you, you can do this .. the treatment is not a ride in the park, but jbains is a wonderfull lass to listen too ... I've had the mastectomy, but she's had the treatment to, and she's a real trooper ... so remember your not alone, lots of us breast ladies are right here with you on this journey and when you need support weather it's a good day, or a low one, someone on here knows those feelings ... 

So hold on tight ... get your boxing gloves on and you kick cancers bum right down the road ...I'm off to hospital tomoz as my aunties having her mastectomy ....  sending you a big hug. .  Chrissie 

Hi ladies, feeling lost searching answers but reading all different posts. I went for mammogram yesterday... sent after for ultrasound then 2 biopsy’s taken. Spoke to consultant he said it shows a 4cm Mass. feeling confused does this definitely mean I have Cancer? 

OMG! You completely nailed how I am feeling. It is the lack of control, I feel I'm prepared for both good and bad news, however the unknown and waiting is driving me mad x

Hi there- sorry to hear you've had to go through this. I have had breast cancer twice so all I'll say is the drs will need to test the mass and then can only determine whether it's cancer for certain.

The waiting for these results is the hardest but one day at a time and deep breaths. Keep yourself busy and please do not go to Dr Google. We aren't medically trained nor have all the information to know we have what we read on google.

Go and do things you love and cross that bridge when you come to it. Hang in there.x
