  • Hi Ncd, 

    I cant think of anything really to ask just make sure you understand the results your given and if your unsure of anything the breast care nurses can answer any questions afterwards if you dont take it all in. 

     

    Good luck with your results x

    Please let us know how you get on and we are here of you need to chat x

  • Hi Hayley,

    Hi Ncd,

    Can you bring someone with you to your appointment? This is always a good idea. I know that some hospitals are not allowing any additional people into their clinics at present, but most will still allow you to take someone with you for results.

    You probably don't have many questions to ask tomorrow, but once you know the results, you will find that the questions will just grow. Write them down as you think of them and, take them along to your next appointment. If they have found anything untoward, you will find that any surgery or treatment will already have been discussed at your Multidisciplinary tea (MDT) meeting. Your consultant usually holds these meetings weekly and, will discuss your results and future treatment with his/her colleagues before you return for your results.

    I sincerely hope that you are one of the luckier people and that you get good news tomorrow.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi Ladies,

     

    Thank you all so much for your comments and kind words. Unfortunately I got diagnosed with invasive ductual cancer. So they have given me some options operation & treatment wise.

     

    is there anyone on this they have had this form? Perhaps we can chat on it etc please ?

     

    still in shock hearing it today

    Hi Ncd,

    I am so sorry to hear about your results. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer myself within the past 11 years, so I know just how worrying a positive diagnosis is and, what a terrible shock it is for you.

    If you go to the blue banner at the top  of this page, click on it, then click on the search box and enter 'invasive ductal' and click. This will bring up previous posts on the topic, which you may find useful.

    Can I ask what surgical and treatment options you have been given and, whether or not you have any idea of what way you want to go?

    Do please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hi all 


    Sorry I was off air.  

    Hi there 

    Thank you for the msg. I had the lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node removed & after the biopsy they said it has spread to Sentinel lymph nodes, so having another operation to remove all lymph node in 2/3 weeks time Sept 2020 and then will have to wait to hear about that biopsy. Upsetting but fingers crossed they come back clear. 

    Otherwise healing well physically anyways

     

    Thank you all for any advise and all your support xxx 

     

    thankxxx
