Could this year get any worse....

Hi Louisewomble, So sorry to hear of your bad year and to find you here. I had much the same feelings in March as I was diagnosed  just  as lockdown came in. But you have done the right thing seeking advice and being referred to the breast clinic.Hopefully you will get an appointment very soon and then after some tests be told what your plan of treatment is. The waiting really is the worst part. I would urge you NOT to look at Dr Google- most of the information on there is out of date. Speak to one of the nurses on here , they can give you up to date information and hopefully answer all your questions. Breast cancer if that is what it turns out to be is very treatable now and many on here are living proof of that and will come along to reassure you I am sure. Sending big hugs xxKwissy

Yes! It can just bugger off!! Sounds like you have had an awful year and I am so sorry for your loss. As Kwissy says... if it is and it sounds like you are definitely still in the IF stage it can be treated. 
Stay positive... and even if it is it will be ok. I spent lockdown working everyday at an NHS hospital in the COVID response. Just as the first wave finished I found a lump and now I’m in my own lockdown having chemo. Life feels so unfair at times but we have to face it head on... have a cry, a large glass of wine and then fight back. Be strong you will get through this! xxx

Hi ,

Brilliant advice- especially the LARGE glass of wine- Yes I did partake after my RT at the end of June.!! Hope your chemo is managable and presumably surgery afterwards. Give yourself time to come to terms with it all but can see  you already have a good attitude. Sending Hugs  xx

Thanks I'm all over the shop atm.

First appointment next weds......seems ages away.

Whats IF? Stage 

She means the "if it is cancer, but maybe it isn't stage"!

You're bound to worry, so I won't tell you not to. This time of uncertainty is the worst part, in many ways - we're all tempted to imagine the worst possible outcome. But that glass of wine sounds good.

I don't like wine.

So a cuppa will do......

Hi Louisewomble, so sorry your having such a bad time. I found my lump just behind the nipple end of May. I have had a lumpectomy and lymph node removal, 2 of the lymph nodes were cancerous. Next Thursday I am starting chemotherapy and yes the waiting is horrendous. I only like at this site and breast cancer now, and everyone is so helpful. Good luck on your journey and may you stay strong    and try to be positive xxx

Thankyou.

I just feel in limbo atm x
