Waiting for biopsy

Aww Cheeboe, I am so sorry to here this. I was wondering last night how you were.

At least now these results are in your care team will be planning the best treatment for you.

If you want to chat about anything I’m here for you. Private message me if you prefer. I’ve had mastectomy, chemo and radiotherapy so whatever it is I will help if I can.

I know at this moment you are feeling every emotion at once, but there is a lot of us here who are ‘out the other side.’

Love and hugs Tina x x

Hi Cheeboe

So sorry to hear your news. This is a club no one wants to join, but when you join us you know you are no longer alone.

The first couple of weeks after diagnosis I found were an emotional roller-coaster with waiting for appointments, and then more waiting for results..but if this means we get personalised treatment to kick the gatecrasher that is breast cancer out of our bodies it's what we have to do. 

Be kind to yourself, sending a gentle hug xx

Hi cheeboe

sorry to hear your news but I guarantee now you have the info you will digest it. Not knowing and wondering drives us mad. 

I had my mastectomy 3 weeks ago today. I can’t remember the past 3 months tbh. 

This is now your road to recovery. Youve had your diagnosis - the wind hasn’t blown in your direction but you can adjust your sails. 

When is your next appointment to discuss surgery or chemo first? 

Here if you want to chat- xxxxx

Hi Cheeboe, 

So sorry to hear your results news, at least now you know,  and you will feel better still once you have an actual plan. It honestly does flies by so quickly and although difficult it really is doable.

I have had a lumpectomy, Chemo, Rads, Ovary removal and am now on Tamoxifen. Just awaiting my final appointment with my surgeon in a fortnight and then my first mammogram since diagnosis at the end of January.

Sending positive vibes, love and hugs

Hi Netty113

How was your planning appointment?

Having gone through chemo, Radiology was a breeze. But obviously it’s still not easy.
I was lucky and didn’t have many side effects at all- I actually found the travelling to and from the appointments everyday for 3 weeks really frustrating and exhausting! (I had a 50 min drive each y) And stripping off everyday to lie on the machine - just made me feel really vulnerable. I used some Yoga meditation techniques to get me through

Much love 

Beans xx

Cheeboe Ruth, 

You will feel a range of emotions and will be up and down for a while yet. Try to do things that will keep you busy, it might not take your mind off things, but time seems to stand still while waiting for results.

Sending hugs

Hi Beans,

it was ok they did a CT scan today to map out my body. I am sure the scanner at the hospital was different and more of a donut but the one today was like enclosed but my legs were hanging out of it. I still don’t like it but shut my eyes. They managed to show me the Radiotherapy machine quickly too. Still feel nervous about it but they have prescribed me a cream called Flamigel RT which I apply 3 times a day. I also ended up at my GP today on the advice of the radiographers because I have had a cold for about 3 weeks and have a terrible cough. Turns out I have a chest infection and was prescribed antibiotics and two inhalers and I have high blood pressure so they are now going to monitor that for 24 hours.  

My health is taking a battering at the moment but I’m praying I will be ok for next week and not end up with another delay. Definitely going to be shutting my eyes for the Radiotherapy as I just have fear in me. It’s stupid I know especially after going through two surgeries, needle aspiration biopsy etc. 

Love Netty xx

Hi Cheeboe, 

You sort of know don’t you as I kept saying to my friends I think it is cancer and everybody kept saying no it’s probably a cyst but I knew inside even though I prayed it wasn’t before my diagnosis. Anyhow, I am really sorry to hear that you are unfortunately joining us on the roller coaster ride but it will get easier as you start to accept it and they tell you how they are going to treat you.

Try to deal with it chunk by chunk as you cannot take it all in all at once as there are lots of tests and scans etc and on top of all of that you are trying to be positive, normal, dealing with your emotions etc. It use to aggravate me at times when I was having a low day and someone said be positive when you didn’t feel like that and I wanted to shout back at them and say you try having cancer and dealing with it! I didn’t though just felt that way at times.

Listen please don’t feel alone as we are all here to help and get you through this horrible journey and you will get through it. Use this site I have and it has helped me so much on my journey and still does.

Lots of love to you and big hugs. 

Netty xxxx
