The more I learn the less I seem to know about this aaaahhhh. – or + . CT or RT. Gawd I think we all need a degree in medicine. My ER was borderline hence the test, and I knew about it so was able to ask. And welcome plus love the name have a visual of a boat with you at the helm, very Onedin Line

@Libby
‘beware your sins will find you out’ for the little ‘poppet’ who gets it all so right with little effort. But don’t tell her about my eldest who was just like that and was earning more than me at one point grrrrrrr.
I very kindly popped into the local cake shop as I noticed my friend was working in the local estate agents. I chose 2 different cakes so that she had a choice. THERE WAS NO ulterior motive. Honest! Cleaning the toilet for Mr L – when hell freezes over. I do sometimes feel an absolute bleeping fraud as I read all your posts. And I am tearing up just writing this. Get over yourself woman. Me to me that is.
Lots of cleaning from me and not too much walking today. Will pop to the local for a wee wine later. But can I be ars******* with the smiles, head dipped to one side and ‘how are you’. We shall see. Maybe I will say I had a miracle cure the cake from the local shop did it!!!!! Eeeeek a bit of tinternet shopping as well. I need a new spring look. I DO.Love Wh***** Company since I retired no need for frocks and suits, no more power dressing needed to frighten the parents. Then again no more fancy tights for the Reception children to stroke. Bless em
Oh and childhoods in the 80's I was giving birth in the 80's
Whatever the evening brings hug a loved one and be gentle with yourself.
Gosh LeoLady, I don't know if everyone gets copied with these automatically or if one has to tag them, but for Sailingangel, BigGuy, JammyR and EVERYONE, I am completely filled with admiration for you all. All I had done was to have both my breasts cut off; we should have the biopsy results on Tuesday the doctor tells me, and if they are as I PRAY they will be, then I am done and gone clear. Cannot assume anything and I guess I don't have to speak about the waiting...doc says he saw nothing concerning but he isn't a microscope. So if I have to take a crammer in medical terminology and cancer types and treatment options I will come here for info and PRAY that I can be as brave, and funny, and compassionate as you all are. Enormous gentle group hug.
Please don’t worry about not pushing for the test.
We are all very different, I had the test because my onco couldn’t make a decision for me as to whether chemo would benefit me more than the side effects and I couldn’t make that decision either so had the tests.
Your onco has told you that you actually don’t need chemo for your type of cancer so no further test needed, I would grab that with both hands and just stop worrying and enjoy life. Xxxxxxx
Im the same as you (grade 2, ER+ HER2 neg, 0 nodes) but ductsl rsther than lobular and was reassured by both surgeon and oncologist that chemo was not required. Im was very relieved.
Sailingangel i was in your position a few weeks back. I was ER + HER - and had one node affected. Thought chemo was way to go as was told so by surgeon but when had oncologist appointment she said chemo not needed as risks of th chemo outweigh any benefit to me. She showed me the NHS predict score which came out at only a 3.1% benefit and she wouldn't recommend chemo unless a 5% benefit.
i struggled with this and had a long chat with my BCN who went over all my results again and just clarified things.
so I'm going down thto radiotherapy route if it ever happens, but that's another story!
I am relieved but in awe of all th fab ladies on here going through chemo themselves .....lots of hugs to you guys.
Never mind you only had them cut off. Dont play it down THAT is a major op.
You got hit with the same stick as us, its not easy I for one am still in shock. And i mean shcck. That bloody stick sideswipped all of us. We have to be positive and laugh or I no for me I would go under in a blink of an eye.
So lovly Only is a understatment , we all have to walk this dreaded path, and we shall get to the end . With each others help and positivity . BLOODY ONLY. !!!!!!
However you seem to be doin well, keep it up . Leolady will prob lecture you now. I shall say sorry in advane, however the rare old bird is wise and often is right.
( dont tell her i sed so , there will be no stoppin her . Sssshhh)
Ali, Bigguy, Deb, Jbee and Jacks...another day further along the chemo train, really hope you have all had a side effect free day.
Jolly - hope your cold has finally done one and you can move forward out of RT this week feeling good.
Leo - how has Mr Leo been since his ironing achievements yesterday? You let him have time iff for good behaviour. I suggested making a star chart for DH today so he can earn rewards for new house duties. Didn't go down well.
Jac - how is the seroma area doing now. Mine had gone but since started chemo bit tender in that area. I have heard people say chemo affects weak areas so guess its that...can do without it coming back.
Nice almost normal day in family Jammy. Felt rather well despite evil witch period putting in an appearence (was hoping chemo would've sent it packing but...). Had spot of lunch out then took Libby to Leeds Museum for couple of hours...her request mainly as she likes the cafe and gift shop there......then made a casserole for tea and now got feet up whilst DH cleans hamster out (ha ha ha a job he hates and avoids but too germy for me alas!). Request for tomorrow is "a school holiday pj and dvd day" which I am sure I can manage. First day today I've got through without a nap and not felt quite as hungry so hopefully can limit the damage done by eating non stop for last 10 days.
Soddin hamster has escaped from his ball again and is now sitting on rug having a wash like he is coolest dude in town. I haven't forgiven him for the chewing hole in carpet incident and he knows it!
