Today is results day. Couldn’t wait for today to come but now it’s here I wish it wasn’t. So many have been here already and some of you are still waiting. We are all linked. The support on here is amazing . Knowing you are not alone is very comforting. I will update later with my results and treatment plan. Thank you for your support
I’m gutted. The hospital just phoned and I need another MRI to confirm the clip in they put in my right breast is in the correct position before surgery which means it’s have Cancer in both breasts. So have to wait another week for results. Feel I’m drowning
Oh hon, I am so very sorry to hear this. So they definitely have confirmed you have it in both breasts?
Have you also posted on the breast cancer forum?
My husband had head & neck cancer (tonsil, tongue and lymph nodes) so apart from giving you all my sympathy and support, I have limited knowledge about breast cancer. But I am more than happy to chat to you and give you virtual hugs.
Do you have anybody at home that can help you cope with all this. You must be worried sick.
Love Debs xxx
Oh Sheelagh, I'm so sorry to hear this love. Like Debs, my experience is also with head and neck cancer but I mentioned in an earlier post to you about my mum discovering a lump when she was 86. It was in her left breast and when she got the diagnosis, she just told them to take it off, which they did, resulting in a mastectomy. Her recovery was remarkable considering her age at the time, and she told them she didn't want any reconstructive surgery, again due to age. She was never troubled again and lived well for many years after.
Sorry I can't offer practical help my lovely, but sending another virtual hug and hoping you've got good support to help you through this.
Take good care, love Gill xx
Hi Deb11
This is the cancer chat group, not the breast cancer group which is why you saw the post. Sheelagh started this thread separate to the wide awake thread, that’s all.
