Hi all
I’m Louise, I M 49 and Last week I was diagnosed with DCIS in my right breast and invasive lobular cancer in my left
it is ER and PR positive and so I have stopped my Estero gel and due to have my Coil removed on Thursday but I have started bleeding does anyone know if this is normal?
apologies if I have got any of the terminology wrong I’m new to this and typing without my glasses too
Hi Double49and welcome to the Online Community although I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.As cancer diagnosis can be a very stressful and challenging time for you but I do hope you find the community a safe place to get support and ask your questions.
The New to Community is like our reception desk where you can be signpost to our various cancer support groups and other services.
I see you have joined and posted in our supportive Breast cancer group. This will be a safe place to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
The Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via Webchat and Email too. This service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear.
You may also find our Cancer Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section helpful but do allow a few working days for a reply.
Talking to people face to face when on a cancer journey (patient or family) can be very helpful but during these strange times it’s not that available but do check to see if any Local Macmillan Support in your area has opened up. Do also check out for a local Maggie's Centre in your area as these folks are amazing and provide support for all the family.
Always around if you need further help in navigating the community.
All the very best ((hugs))
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
