Hi,
I have my surgery for mastectomy of right breast and all my lymph nodes for March 30th but had a call today as now need another MRI scan as the Ct showed something in my chest wall and shoulder, as you can imagine I'm in pieces and thinking the worst and thinking it's spread into my bones.
Anyone had the same?
Hey
Ive had similar in that I’ve had an Mri last week because of things they spotted in my liver on CT
Try not to panic ( says me !) When is your mri?
L xx
Ahh thanks,
Yes they saw a cyst on my ovaries and I had another scan yesterday and that looked OK, but thos call came out of the blue this afternoon, no date given for my MRI I had one just on my boobs a few weeks ago
So you had a meeting after the CT when they spotted the ovarian cyst but are only just mentioning the chest wall part now ?
Or did they not have all the results back at your meeting ?
I don’t think they realise ( or maybe they can’t stop to think about ) the anxiety this can cause especially when you only get little bits of info
hope you can get the mri asap , have they said your surgery will still go ahead ?
It might be something and nothing but they’ve got to dot the I’s and cross the T’s type thing
love

Thank you, yes the stress these calls makes is absolutely crazy, I know they are busy and need to let us know but it's just so stressful.
The nurse said it was still going ahead and the MRI may be after it now, as I am having to self isolate tomorrow for 2 weeks!!
I just want it done now so I know what I am dealing with but I suppose the breast and lymph nodes need to come out either way!!
Thanks for the reply, it helps being able to talk to.people that understand x
Ah I see
I’m so glad it can still go ahead , that’s good news x
Im still full of stress about my results , it’s definitely good to speak to people who understand
Love
