  • Thank you for the link and good wishes Lucie 
     

    I was reading the information in the early hours and found it very informative, I will at least be more informed going into my appointment this morning. 
     

    Regards,

    Louise. 

  • Hello [@lucie]‍ 

    Thank you for the link, it was very informative, appreciated your good wishes 

    unfortunately it wasn't good news at my appointment, waiting on my biopsy results to decide on the next course of action 

     

     

  • Hi Kizzi. I am unfortunately in the same situation as you. Was told that the lump they found was very concerning and I'm now waiting for biopsy to confirm how concerning The waiting - as everyone says is hideous. Thinking of you and hoping you get positive results xx 

  • Got a call today, I've got an appointment tomorrow to see the consultant xx hopefully will get some answers and a plan, 

    glad I've not had to wait too long, 3wks tomorrow since I saw the GP x 

     

    hope you're not waiting too long either 

  • Hi 

    So glad you are seeing consultant tomorrow. The knowing and a plan is far far better than the limbo! 
     

    I have my results app next Wed. It can't come soon enough. Mine too will be 3 weeks from GP app. 
     

    I will be thinking of you. Here if you ever need to chat.

  • Hello [@SlightlyBewildered]‍ 

    just to update you, on Friday I was told I definitely have breast cancer in my right breast and have one affected lymph node, I'm triple negative and the tumour is 2.5cm

     

    im due to have an MRI hopefully next week and see the oncologist on 20th May prior to starting chemo followed by surgery 

    feel surprisingly calm, I guess it's because there's a plan and it's treatable 

     

    hope your appointment tomorrow goes well Sarah 

     

  • Good Morming Honey

    Thank you for thinking of me today xx

    I managed to sleep more than I thought I would last night. 
     

    Sorry to hear your Friday outcome. Far from ideal! But ... I totally get that having much more info has left you feeling much calmer. Hoping I will feel better come lunchtime today. 
     

    I'll let you know how it goes. Sarah xx

  • Hi Lovely
     

    So ... As expected it is cancer. However and most importantly it's totally treatable
     

    Grade 2. Her 2 Neg apparently. So hormone tablet treatable which is apparently a good thing?!?!?

    I have to make a decision within the week as to lumpectomy or mastectomy. It's my choice. It's 5cm's so a big bit of boob will go. But I think I may try to hang on to as much of my own boob as possible to start with. 
     

    Op in about 4 weeks, followed by radiation. Then if nothing found in lymph's after op that will be it apart from hormone tablets. 

    If lymphs concerning then chemo will be up for discussion. 
     

    I'm ok. I think?!?!? So much more in control now which I needed. This forum has definitely been a godsend too. 
     

    How are you doing honey? 
     

    lots of love Sarah xxx

    Hi Sarah,

    I am so sorrry to hear that you have just joined the 'cancer club' - not one that anyone really wants to join! It's amazing how much more in control you feel once you know what you are dealing with and, have a plan for the way forward. 

    I am so glad to hear that it is treatable and sincerely hope that your lymphs are clear after your op. It is a big decision to make. I have had both and they are both perfectly mangeable. It sounds as if you have a pretty positive attitude and, you will find that this will be a great help along your cancer journey

    Please keep in touch. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
