Not Quite What I Expected

Less than one minute read time.

Had my results appointment today following lumpectomy & SNB on 14th March and there was good news and bad news.

Good news = clear margins, tumour 1.8mm and stays at Grade 1.

Bad news = 2 of 3 nodes had micromet so out  the rest of them come on Saturday.

Feeling pretty miserable tonight, only really just feeling that I'm starting to recover from the first op.

Sorry - can't think of a positive thing to say right now.

    I am so sorry sorry to hear this, what a shock to the system and it is only natural to feel the way you do. I am about to undergo the same as what you had done on the 18th and have no idea what the results will be, so keeping everything crossed. Wishing you well for Saturday and please let us know how you get on. Sending a cyber hug

    Hello Lynnieb,

    I wish you good luck for your surgery - it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be if I'm honest, so fingers crossed for you.

    I'm not usually as negative as I felt yesterday and I did try to brace myself for 'bad' news, but actually hearing it just got me down. I'm back to my old self a bit more today - I've been into work and sorted out some paperwork and have decided to try and have a 'normal' week, you know, going into work (I'm a school business manager in a primary school so nobody else in this week - nice and stress-free) before the abnormalty of BC takes hold of my life once again on Saturday!

    It's not always easy to be positive, especially when there's seemingly so much to fear, but it really takes less energy than being negative, so onwards and upwards.

    Sending you a big (((hug))) to support you on your journey,

    Hannah x
