I'm new here

Hi coheal 

Welcome to this group hope your doing ok 

XxxD

We're here for you. No one understands unless they're going through something similar. This site is invaluable Jo x

The waiting for appointments and treatment plans is the worst, time goes so slow. I found once I knew what was going to happen I could then start to emotionally get my head around it all, plus start to think what I needed practically. I had surgery first so had to prepare for that with bras, buying shirts and nightwear that had buttons.

Please post how you get on. 

Thanks - I will keep in touch.

Thanks Jo - appreciate the support!

A bit up and down at the moment but hoping to feel better when my treatment plan is in place!

Hi 

not a great journey. I was also diagnosed 2 weeks ago. I’m in for op on 3 May. It’s a horrible waiting game with emotions. But hear it gets better when you get a treatment plan sorted so hopefully will know better in a few weeks what I’m doing. 
hope your mri is fine and your consultant appointment is a good one  

My consultant is hoping to give me a treatment plan at our next appointment so I'm hoping the MRI scan is clear. I have been asked if I want to join a trial of AI, so a lot to think about. I hope your op goes well on Tuesday.

Have you already had your op. What is the trial.  I’m down for the onco test. 
 All goes well for you x 

Not had the op yet - I had a biopsy on the lump and the lymph nodes at my first appointment. Two weeks later I met my consultant and she said the cancer is hormonal and I am suitable for the trial which is for an aromatase inhibitor. Once my op is scheduled I will take the AI for ten days before the op and if the cancer has shrunk, I will be invited to join the treatment part of the trial. I don't think I have anything to lose by joining it.
