Hi everyone,
Feel a bit of a fraud as I dont even know if I have cancer but desperate to do something proactive while waiting for results. I felt a large lump in breast that seems to have appeared out of nowhere, dr says it definitely not a cyst and have thickening of lymph nodes. Got my biopsy appointment tomorrow and cant help panicking. All my bones are aching but that could be stress and honestly I'm just thinking about my hubby and daughter whose only 8. Came on here to see what support is out there if I need it. Any advice on managing the waiting??Wishing everyone on here love and best wishes whatever stage you are at xxxx
Hi Tina, thanks for asking. I'm still waiting on results of full body MRI but the ct scans were clear so fingers crossed. Seeing the oncologist on Friday so should know my plan then. Still feel a bit in limbo but things are moving now and I'm managing to stay a bit more positive with an occasional wobble. Have joined the chemo chat in the main group. Going to get my hair cut soon, would never have been brave enough to commit to a short bob so trying to see that as a good thing! Surgeon said they are definitely considering me curable, ER,PR,HE2 positive so lots of treatment options fingers crossed. Will fill in my profile when get all the info.
Hows things for you? I see on another thread you are nailing your Christmas preparations
Thanks for checking on me, very much appreciated and I hope I can help other people out one day xxxxx
Hi Ruth,
Glad you are managing ok, you sound positive.
Yes there are lots of treatments available now.
Good luck for Friday, I’m off to the hospital tomorrow for a bone density scan, having the bones checked every 2 yrs. now apparently, so might not get on here tomorrow and just wanted to wish you luck.
Not sure I’m nailing it lol, I’m doing my best but this Christmas lark is quite tiring for me now. Doesn’t really help because I’ve been glossing as well and it’s youngest Birthday haha.
Sending positive vibes and gentle hugs Tina x x x
Thanks Tina, good luck with your bone scan xxx
