Hello Moonpie, 

I just wanted to wish you the best of luck for your appointment on Tuesday. I know it's really hard but try not to draw any conclusion from the fact that you have been asked to attend this appointment and that there will be an MDT meeting before.

Hopefully you will hear from others on this forum who are familiar with these MDT meetings and I hope that they will come and share their experience with you. 

Our nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm if you wanted to give them a call and ask them questions about this. 

Keeping everything crossed for you that it all goes well.

Best wishes,

Hi, charliebabe is right, all lumps are discussed at the MDT .....so please try not to worry too much...fingers crossed you'll have good news...

lets us know how you get on? 

I know how you feel, I'm going through a similar thing. I've got lumps that are thought to be Fibroadenomas, but they were worried that it could be a phylliod tumour so I've had an excision biopsy done 2 weeks ago, I was told that I would receive a letter/appointment before my second week to discussing the findings but it's now been delayed as the MDT meeting is now on the 30th and I should be contacted after the meeting.  im in limbo. As far as I'm aware it's just a weekly thing where they discuss all cases, discuss wether there should be treatments or follow ups and to make sure all the information they have is correct. I wish you luck, and well health, Please let us know how you do xxx 

Well sad to say I do have breast cancer He2 positive 

absolutely shell shocked.  From being told originally there was nothing to worry about to being told it's grade 3 has knocked me for 6.  
they've said it's a small cancer but will have to have chemo then a lumpectomy then radiotherapy is frightening.  They did an ultra sound on the lymph nodes which they said look good but after the initial everything looks ok I'm petrified they're wrong again.  
Next step I've got to have a narker put in and an MRI then a meeting with the Chemo Doc. It's all a blur.  
managed to tell the kids and family which was extremely hard my husbands been brilliant but I'm so worried for him too. It's going to be so hard for all of us.  
terrified of the thought of the chemo with all the

side effects. I can't find if the effect will be there all the time or if they ease between treatments I just don't know.  
Any advise or moral support would be nice but I know we are all in the same scary boat.  
love to you all. X

Hi,

im so sorry you've been diagnosed. The same happened to me , all along I was told my lump was a fibromadema, even my consultant said she wasn't worried, so like you, I was quite happy, then I was called in to be told I was her2 pos. I was floored! I know exactly how you're feeling right now.

you will get through it. Take it a day at a time, don't think too far ahead. You'll be bombarded with info.....I literally handed over all the bumph to my husband, he sifted through it, and fed me info when I enquired, it was far too much to take in in one go!! 

Thinking of you love, I know your headspace will be pretty mashed right now xxx

Thankyou

I have a breast nurse to call but I so scared to ask any questions at the moment 

like I said they looked at my lymph nodes in my armpit on ultra sound and said they look fine but I feel I can't trust it 

I'm trying to not to google stuff but it so hard.  I'm suffering with terrible anxiety with this, like most people I expect. I not eating probably and I'm not the biggest of people to start with.  I'm hoping I'll feel more positive when my treatment starts.

You will definitely settle once your treatment plan is in place. Although chemo can be nasty you'll find yourself just wanting to get on with it....get them ticked off one by one.

It may be worth getting a dental checkup now? ( that's if you've not already had one recently) get any potential problems dealt with now...xx

aw I'm so sorry that it wasnt the news you were hoping I can only go off how I have felt in the last 4 weeks and that's I've actually wanted to know every little detail so I am more than prepared mentally all though I understand some poeple dont, my lymphs looked clear on the ultra sound and also I had mammogram and MRI scan and these also appear to be clear. I'm booked in for surgery on the 7th they are removing the tumor and then doing a sential node biopsy so hopfully this will come back clear, mine is er and pr positive and my hers is borderline so awaiting the fish test to come back hopfully this will come back neg then this would mean I will only need lumpectomy raidiation and hormone blockers as apose to chemo if the hers2 comes back from the 2nd test positive. it's very hard to try and stay positive all the time especially when you have a husband and children who you want to protect but weve got this if you want to talk msg me x

Thankyou.
 I do hope yours is not the HER2 it's a scary time

im ok sometimes then I'm not it's the waiting I think that's the worse.
all the best .
