Ductal carcinoma grade 1

Yeah I’ve been given 2 bcn numbers. I did mention it on Monday when I was in and they didn’t ask to see it vthey just said it will be healing. 
I was just a bit worried that there wasn’t any lumps prior and it’s still very black and blue. I’m back in next Wednesday. If it hasn’t gone by then I’ll ask the dr to have a look x 

Hi 

I’ve just been given my date for op 3 May. Consultant repeated what Dr said last week grade 1 stage 1.  Radium treatment. But this could change after op and pathology report. He did say nodes looked clear on mammogram and ultrasound. But will be taking two out to check. 
thought I’d feel a bit more upbeat but have hit a brick wall. And feel quite emotionally deflated.
I was told mine is eastrogen controlled and I need to take out my mIrene coil. But no rush. Her2- both dancers close together 5mm and 11mm so will be one lumpectomy. 
I feel I’m back in limbo. Even though I knew I wouldn’t be hearing anything different 

I still have a very tickly cough which comes and goes. But down to mild bronchiectasis think that’s worrying me 

my arm feel quite tender where I had vacuum biopsy. Breast is still lumpy from biopsy. Te consultant said this was fine and was expected. 
just feel exhausted and struggling today even though I should feel positive from the outcome. Think I will be more optimistic after op and once I receive the results. 
Hope everyone is doing ok and getting through this as best way as possible. 
tomorrows another day. Hopefully I will wake up feeling a bit better ️ x

I remember that waiting period..it is the worse. Focus on that surgery date and keeping yourself as well as possible to aid your post op recovery. Once it's done that's another step taken towards your recovery.

I couldn't wait to have my unwelcome invader removed and hearing my surgeon tell me when I was in recovery she was very happy with how things had gone and she had " got it all out"  was great news!

It is an emotional time and you will have good days and bad days. That lasts quite a while and i still have low moments now but they are getting less as time moves on. Be kind to yourself 

There was an axious wait for the post op pathology results but they proved her right and I had clear margins and a clear sentinel node. 

I hope you have the same outcome ..all the indications are that you will xx

Hey, i had an mri vacuum biopsy a week ago today and like you i have a huge black bruise and quite a sizeable lump (annoying as this is not the breast with the tumour... Hopefully) nt lump is sire but only if i catch it so not too bad, the Doctor did warn me that it would be worse rhan the ither buopsies I've had so I'm sure we'll be fine, it's just very invasive. Xx

Hi 

I was a bit worried until today regards to the lump. they seemed non phased about it. Didn’t even look at it. Just said it is normal to be by like this do I’ll go with that. 
I never even got the other breast checked during any of the mammograms. Which I also find strange 

I’m sure this is going to heal just in time for the op.  hope all is going well for you and you get you our op date soon. X

Mirning, i have idc grade 2 but my tumour is 14cm so i think they just thought they y better check also my Mum ym is also stage 4 metastatic breast cancer so was probably more to do with that tbh, I'm going to need chemo  first as not likely to be healrhy tissue clearance at the moment if u have a mastectomy, wishing you good luck with your op, xx

Morning 

Ive read a few stories in here that the chemo shrinks it to a really good size for operation. So hopefully that will be quick for you. So sorry to hear your mum is going through this too. That must be awful. Do you know if it’s a genetic link. I’m asking about genetic testing

My mum is now due her 5th year mammogram after her lumpectomy. 
those vaccum biopsies leave a tenderness feeling although didn’t hurt getting it done. 
It’s going to be a long week waiting for the op. 
scary times. I’m Such a worrier normally. Wish I wasn’t. 
Its hard when your a single mum and I can’t bring myself to discuss with my 12 year old son. Had to cancel our summer holiday was due to go 11 May. His little face. 
Just need op and results and then I can have my treatment plan 

don’t know if it’s just me. But since diagnosis I have pains in. Ask shoulders and now arm. That I never knew existed before. Trying to stay positive but I keep taking deep breaths. Anxiety at its best x 

Hi all 

well tomorrow is op day.  today I’m feeling nervous. My mind has gone into overdrive. Any little ailment I’m thinking has it spread. Mind games with myself is not good. 
I was also diagnosed with a lung deficiency last year. Due to a bad chest infection. So my breathing and tickly throat has flared up and I keep thinking is it connected. Praying op goes well and I get good results. 
This worrying is probably causing a lot more bad than good. 
wish I could stop thinking about it. Doesn’t help 3 days stuck in my bedroom due to isolating for op x  

Hi Army I totally understand anxiety and being a worrier. I find the evening when I'm supposed to be relaxing the worst as my mind goes at full speed. It's really good that you're getting your op so quickly after diagnosis. I was diagnosed 13th April but already in lymph nodes and required CT scan before any treatment so still in limbo. Sometimes I feel more worried about it and feel it is unbearable when you've had your op hopefully you'll feel more relieved.                           All the best Stripey x

Hi 

thank you 

I wasn’t offered mri or ct scan first. That may be because they said my lymph nodes look clear. That may change after op. 
when is your ct scan for nodes. Have you not been given one yet. That would drive me crazy.  Do you know what type yours is. Hopefully you will get an op date soon x
