Breast cancer confirmed

Hello Mel I’m sorry you got this diagnosis but all sounds very positive so try to hang on to that over the coming weeks as I’m sure you’ll have lots of ups and downs but you will get there.  I’m having the same as you tomorrow! X

Hi, I am in exactly the same position as you but a couple of weeks ahead. I'm having my lumpectomy on 5th Oct and my outcome looks bright so stay positive .

You will get ups and downs  , I find I don't have bad days I have bad moments throughout the day . Today I've felt anger for the 1st time but I am just getting over covid so have been stuck in for 9 days.

Keep strong there's lots of help on here and your not alone 

Xx

The doctor said that she knows waiting will make me anxious but time is not important here, getting the correct plan so I don't have to go for more than one operation is.  This made me.feel little bit more positive x

The help on here makes me feel positive and hearing all the positive stories is helping me greatly as l i lost a cousin at an early age to breast cancer and this is all I have been thinking about but there are so much success stories out there that will keep me strong .  Good luck with your surgery, 5th Oct will soon me here for you xx

You’re correct, the waiting is anxiety inducing. As soon as I knew what decisions and plans were in place I found myself much calmer. There was also differences in my measurements between the mammogram and ultrasound so an MRI was scheduled which was still inconclusive so a further more detailed ultrasound then followed (on my birthday no less!), after which it was all systems go for surgery. I was so worried and envisaged the worst scenarios, wondering why they had to do so many procedures/examinations but obviously they have to investigate thoroughly.

Best wishes x

I am glad you have posted this because I was so worried that they are doing MRI because it is worse than what they are saying.  My husband keeps saying they not going to lie to us and tell us one thing just to try and find something else (if that makes sense)  i think my mind just doing overtime now whilst waiting.  It is just so difficult but it helps to know I am not alone.

Take care x

Hi  Mel , good to hear the doctor was positive .    I too had it confirmed today.   Because the lump was so large and the doctor wanted to check the middle of it too, I had a deeper biopsy done today.,  have an appointment for a weeks time when she will clarify the treatment.  Definitely surgery , definitely radiotherapy, maybe chemo depending on result.  She said I had caught it early so was positive .  Feeling relieved, but very sore and tired now .   Great to have my partner there, all the nurses and consultants were amazing and put me at ease.   The lump has a name now and we are counting down to his ejection from my boob .   Feel like I may be lucky for the first time in a very long timexxx

Hi, I have been thinking of you today.  I am so glad you have had some positive news today.  We will get through this xx

Hi all. I was thinking about how you are .mel28. I’m sorry for your diagnosis but pleased that it’s positive. I’ve been bumped to this Monday and not the 4th for my results so only a few more sleepless nights to go. Work today and I can face it

Hi,, I am glad your appt has been brought forward because it is the waiting that is the worst through all of this xx
