You'll get to your appointment, and then you'll get your results, and then you can take a big deep breath and relax a bit. Plus don't forget, you might still get the all clear!! It's not cancer until someone tells you it is. Your poor head this morning! :D xxx

Now that would be nice , I know the waiting game is  so hard. I've private insurance from work so may ask about that on Wednesday too, although I'm pretty sure the waiting times will be the much same, but worth looking into xxxxx. 

Ah thank you so much, so good to be able to share our fears and anxieties, you keep well and take care, I'll let you know how it goes on Wednesday, praying its op and rads as they suspect xxxxxx

Hi Croakey,

Here's hoping that your consultant is correct and you don't need chemo. Whatever you do, try to hang on to that positivity. You are probably a bit unsettled about the surgery. I had a lumpectomy 10 years ago, followed by Tamoxifen. A year later I had a double mastectomy, followed by Letrozole for 6 years. Neither operations were anywhere near as nasty as I expected them to be.

You can certainly do this and we'll all be rooting for you here on 8th April.

Don't forget to let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Cags,

Here's hoping that your care team are correct and that you only need an op and radiation. As I said to Croakey, the operations are much simpler than I ever expected.

We shall be thinking of you on Wednesday and praying for a good outcome.

Kind regards,

Hi Jolamine 

Yes I will stay positive about not needing chemo - fingers crossed.

I feel OK about the surgery - Now I know I have a little invader in there, I'll just be happy to have it evicted :)

Thank you so much jolamine, your advice has been so good and gave me so much more faith in the whole journey and certainly made me so much calmer from my initial appointment which really came as a bolt from the blue, thank you again and for all I have every supportive friends and family this site seems so much more valuable in ways as no one can ever understand the deep lying fears of them horrible cancer words. I certainly feel like I can deal with whatever they throw at me next week with a little more confidence to thr lovely peoples help on here xxxxx

Hi 

I had my screening today, consultant felt lump and sent me to have a ultra scan, 

ultra scan found lump, and said she will try and drain with fine needle aspiration, but can see a odd black dot in the middle, so decided to try and drain it and hope it was a cyst, when she did the fluid was mixed with blood, so that's been sent of to be tested, has anyone had this? Then there was still a lump so biopsy's have been done, results will hopefully be on next week and the consultant said she will call when results are in. They didn't say it was too worrying, but a bit odd, so taking that as a good sign maybe, do they tell you if they are worried? 
thanks  

Hi Glittersgold,

I am sorry to hear about your mum, but she is forging forward with treatment and has every chance of beating this. I hope that her HER2 outcome is negative and, that her lymph nodes are clear.

Here's to a straightforward lumpectomy with clear margins.

Kind regards,
