I found a lump 5 weeks ago in my right breast. Got checked and it was a cyst , which was drained. My mammogram showed more. I had a biopsy and was told I needed an op as I was high dcis. I had my op last week and have a large cut which i wasnt expecting to be so big. I am bruised and sore after a week but didnt realise that I would have a sloshing sound coming from my right breast. This scared me but I was told that it is a seroma, a build up of fluid and should be reabsorbed back into my body. I have my check up in a week.
Whilst this was happening 3 weeks ago my partner found a lump in his neck. I got him to go doctors snd he was sent for an xray. The doctor called him in and said there was a shadow and he had lung cancer. The day after my op he had dye injected into him and a scan. A couple of days later he had a biopsy done and one of the physicians said it was his lymph nodes and not lung cancer. So we are now waiting for an appoint ment to get everything confirmed for him what cancer it is and what treatment he will need etc.
My ex mother in law is starting chemo next week for terminal cancer. Myself and my partner live in 2 different counties so its been alot of travelling. I cannot believe there is 3 of us caught wirh cancer in such a small space of time.
Im hoping his will not be as bad as we first thought. I have 2 boys aged 18 and 19 and worry over them so much and the stress they are dealing with.
Im sorry for writing so much but I wonder if anything else can happen. I try to be positive but sometimes it does get to me.
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read how much is going on in your life at the moment but you've joined the right community for help and support.
The online community is divided up into different support groups and I can see that you've already found and joined the breast cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support. When you feel ready to post there just click on the link I've created which will take you straight there. You can then start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
Once you know what type of cancer your partner has I'd recommend that you look through this list and join the appropriate group which will give you the chance to ask questions and share experiences with others with that type of cancer.
In the meantime you could join the carers only group which is a great place to share your emotions and get support from other others who have a loved one living with cancer. You may also like to join the supporting someone with incurable cancer group for support for your ex mother-in-law.
When you have a minute it would be great if you could pop something about both you and your partner's diagnoses and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
