Hi everyone, I’m 3 weeks post diagnosis, 1week post lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy. I’m one of those people who likes to know everything so i’ve been researching lots but then also scaring the poop out of myself. I had invasive ductal stage 3 cancer, er+4 (i think that’s how it’s written lol). I’m just waiting for the results now, another 2 weeks or so. I’ve been really positive but feeling a bit panicky tonight, i can feel a panic attack bubbling under the surface and my minds buzzing about so sleep isn’t happening. Anywho just sounding off really wondering if anyone’s awake x
Hello ,
I am sorry you find yourself here, its the place none of us wanted to come to. You will find a wonderful group of 'Fruit Loops' here - you'll see why we ended up with this name the longer you are around the site. Don't ever feel alone, you are not, now you have found us 'you are not alone'. It's a strange ride you are having at the moment, rushed off into a whirlwind and hardly pausing for breath and when you do panic and dread fill the air.
You have come so very far in the short time, and like many will say 'the waiting is the hard part' - once you know what is going on, you have something to work on.
If you can't sleep take a look at the 'AWAKE' thread most of us use that any time of the night and day, any questions, worries, concerns etc can all be said on that thread too - the knowledge the members of this forum have is absolutely amazing, honesty.... together we are dangerous hahaha.
Welcome to the Group - once you get your results you will be able to very slowly move forward.
Sending Hugs and Love to you xxxx
I’ve just read your Bio, my dads from Dudley and my mums from Stourbridge

Hiya
Always nice to welcome a 'Trainee' Fruit Loop to the club no one wants to join :-/
I think you have got hung up on that 'Invasive' word.... Hate to say it but all cancers are invasive that is what they do. BUT, yours has now gone thanks to surgery so Larry the lump isn't looking so happy with him self now is he ?
Dunno if you checked out the Awake thread WhatHappened mentioned - always worth a browse and chuckle when you are bouncing around with steroids or a bit angsty.
Look forward to seeing you about the place - Most of us are a bit strange, but strangers are only friends you haven't met yet.
Take care, G n' J
