Well I finally got the results, 9 nodes removed one showing affected, lumpectory showed receptors right to the end of lump so mastectomy and chemo advised. Head all over the place and hubby asking all the relevant questions, me meantime sitting breathing like I was in labour and having hot flushes. The Mac nurse is asking me if I want to see pictures of mastectomy, me shaking my head but still remembering my manners "NO THANK YOU" Asked the question when can you do it and have a date 4th...
I guess I have been in denial. Haven't had time to take in that hubby has cancer, never mind that I am going to lose him soon. Spoke to his oncologist yesterday and the next couple of days are critical. He has massive infections from the chemo and is not doing well at all. Even if he does get through this, he won't be able to handle more chemo and the cancer is very agressive so I won't have him for long and I don't think he will be able to come home again.
I am having a very difficult...
After dad having a relatively good day yesterday, he has went downhill again the emergency doctor had to be called in again at 5am, they just upped his hydromorphone because they wasnt sure what else to do because they could not get a hold of the cancer consultant at the hospice to inform them what dose of morphine they could give dad so apparently thay are putting in a complaint about that because there should be someone on call to help in matters like this. We have a appointment at the hospice...

Hi
I've been told that I have a malignant phylloides tumour and my searching of the internet implies that this is rare (a lot of information leaflets don't even go into any detail for malignant versions!).
Does anyone know about these? What I can expect? If I should have a full mastectomy rather than try to save any breast? Can it spread to other organs?
Help?
Thanks

Meeting with the Consultant went ok but for the time being she cannot tell me much as Bert's blood count is still not moving, they will do a bone marrow aspiration around day 38 which will tell us if he is in remission for the 2nd time, If not there is not much else they can do other that support him with transfusions and treat the infections. If he is in remission and we still don't have a date for BMT before Christmas then he will need more chemo to keep him there. On the other hand if...
