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.

Arty seed head shot was all I managed from our walk today, I had a scared boy because of distant clay pigeon shooting, had to comfort him but then drag him along for a short while, chatting to him all the time.

Ohmoomy , I empathize with you re the hot flush! Last night I woke at 2, to find myself soaking wet with sweat. Bedroom temp was only 17 degrees, so obviously it was me, so what did I do...I laid there with no bedclothes for over an hour with the overhead ceiling fan (normally used for sultry summer nights!!) going full blast until I cooled sufficiently to try to get back to sleep. It's just as well OH sleeps in another room now, or I think a few stern words would have been said!
I'm loving the sleepy fairy dust, but do you have the cooling version available at all?
