Hello , I have already posted on here as I wait for more information and treatment but I am not coping well at all . One lymph node out of two has a macrometastasis and I am waiting on radiation etc … but it’s all so slow .. I am convinced this is spreading as I wait … I am already prodding a swollen gland in my groin thinking the worst . Truth is they don’t know if there is more spread in the axilla but will treat it rather than surgery ( which frankly wd delay radiation further so am over a barrel ) 

I have heard a couple of positive stories and am desperate to hear more similar experiences … I believe I will be given anastrozole and ck something too but still not been given that either and it’s months now .

i am on 10mg of escitalopram for anxiety but I feel so devastated and doomed .. can’t shake it … this literally went from DCIS in August and now a lymph node has a 6mm cancer ( lobular ) and they have to literally guess if there is or isn’t more . Will radiation kill it if there is ? Even macros ? 

The invasive they found in the DCI’s was lobular 7mm , non specific or ductal 4mm and tubular 1.5mm .

Very upset and wish I could be strong ans positive but am not strong enough at the moment 

  • Oh I'm so sorry you're struggling....I can empathise somewhat. I find the waiting and delays very difficult to deal with. It's a scary process for sure. I'm hopeful that those in our situation can fnd some solace and support within this community.  Heart️Heart️
