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.

Yes, moomy Spring plans sound good.
Lovely to be with your daughter for Christmas. We have five sons between us, and don’t really get a look in on Christmas Day. I don’t mind though, will be trying to see 4 out of 5 before. My eldest lives in Brisbane, so just always looking forward to when I can see him next.
On another note - this village has population of 500, it’s got bar/restaurant, bank, 2 supermarkets, health centre, pharmacy, children's playground, children’s clothing shop, church, bull ring, and a 11 pitch Moho stopover with water, waste etc. Oh, and exercise machines….
Just what are we doing wrong in UK?
