It seems I'm a patient now!

But not a very patient one! 

I've at least got a diagnosis, it's invasive ductal cancer grade 2, but still small, oestrogen receptive but looks as if I might get away with the lymph nodes....and maybe not too much treatment afterwards? 

Complex plan, but to begin with, a sentinel node (plus another one or so) removal as day surgery, (a nuclear medicine visit first to get 'the jab' for them to trace) then a gap while that,  plus the HER result come back, then because of my previous surgeries for cysts and the fact one resulted in a massive haematoma, therefore scar tissue, I will have a complete mastectomy with an implant. That will be immediately after Easter. 

By finding out as much as possible beforehand, the surgeon hopes to prevent too many operations. Obviously I will then need Tamoxifen or similar, so will appreciate helpful advice about that. 

But I'd be interested on anyone's 'take' on her plan. I feel reassured that she took time with me, and the BC nurse afterwards spent a good while too.

  • Not just looking after one dog, but two! Henry plus an ageing Alfie. 


    Henry, as usual, in supervisory role, Alfie burrows under his blanket! he’s an old Chihuahua.

    Daughter is responsible, but she’s going to be live on Britains Got Talent this evening. So it’s a case of ‘Mummmmm, please? Well of course as Alfie’s owner is off with Henry’s co-owner to a celebration of life in London for a weekend….

  • Just watching BGT …

  • I did spot her, in the background with the Tina act. 

    Both dogs are snoozing now. Thankfully they did so earlier and I got a good long snooze too, still catching up on sleep after that very short, worrying night before last, when I wondered if Goldie would get me home! 

    Daughter just said she’s on the tube now, on her way here.

  •   you’re home safe & sound !

    it’s so good to be walking somewhere new and then it’s also good to be home. Our lawn grows so quickly, within a week needs cutting. Weather is lovely for drying the washing too…

    hope it’s a plan that’s doable for your daughter…
