Having a full on panic

You can do this! Breathe.

I too am waiting for waiting results. I should get biopsy results on Wednesday. Trying to be calm, it’s so hard xx

Thinking of you for Weds 

you can do it too  

Thanks for your message 

Love L xx

Hi L

I'm so glad you've posted on here. I'm sure you'll receive messages of support and understanding as we've all been in your shoes.

I hope this brings you reassurance. I've been diagnosed with grade 3, stage 3 breast cancer. I like you had a large lump and an MRI scan showed cancerous cells in all of my lymphodes but my oncologist has reassured me every step of the way that my cancer is curable. To the point where she's encouraged me to think about my fertility - even when I didn't see the point. 

One more sleep - even if you can't actually sleep - and you will have a fuller picture and a confirmed plan in place. Knowledge is power and by tomorrow you'll have all the information you need to be one step closer to treating and beating this. 

Sending you lots of love

It’s such a scary lonely time. Maybe stay off social media, I’ve been avoiding the internet and talking to anyone until I know what I’m dealing with.

Good luck tomorrow ️xx

God it’d put me in a spin too. You just have to hold firm to the knowledge that everyone’s BC is different and more of us recover than die. I lost a friend to BC about 8 years ago and Sarah Harding died not long after I started chemo and a chemo nurse said to me you can’t compare yourself to anyone else, there are many reasons why some make it and some don’t, in Sarah Hardings case, sadly she delayed looking into her symptoms, you have a reasonable prognosis, you deal with your knowns, nobody else’s. That’s all you can do. So get your CT results, hopefully they’ll be good news, I had cancer in my nodes, (turned out to be only 1 but) and it hadn’t spread despite being grade 3 HER2 positive, try your hardest to focus on what you know because ‘what if’ drives you mad. Big hugs xx

Thanks so much Lizzy 

Im so glad for you , that must have been really nerve wracking I hope you’re treatment is going well ? Your oncologist sounds fab x

I know you’re right but it’s just too scary , It’s the feeling of being out of control too isn’t it 

love L xx

You’re definitely right to stay away ( imo) and I had been mainly but I had to log on to check my daughters nursery group , came straight back off without checking the nursery group … ‍♀️ 

love

Thank you Anna

You’re right , everyone’s story is different , maybe similarities in type or whatever but yes not always same outcomes etc 

Sarah Harding keeps coming into my head too , I’d imagine that would have shaken you 

Ill try and take some deep breaths and not do the “ what if “ game 

big hugs back

I’m finding talking to my daughters and grandchildren so hard when all I keep thinking is about my appointment. My youngest daughter is also 4 months pregnant. It’s so hard to stay positive.

How old is your daughter? Xx
