  • Hi Mich, there’s nothing you can do apart from wait upon all of your results so you have all the information. 
    mum new here too, just joined yesterday. I have first chemo on 14/06. 

  • I get my results tomorrow, I have pain in my shoulder and chest so unfortunately I’m not expecting it to be good , sometimes though I think you hope some other people have experienced similar with a good outcome , I guess clutching at straws .

  • Hi and welcome

  • Hi , sorry that you are going through the waiting game, it’s so difficult. Xx We are all here for you xx 

  • Hi Mich1972

    I'm sorry to read you're going through this too. I was diagnosed with breast and positive lymph nodes 13/4. I've had CT scan of chest,stomach and pelvis,bone scan showing abnormality, then x Ray and had mri on Tuesday. Still waiting on results of mri. Never been advised what x Ray showd or didn't show. I had pre op assessment on Tuesday as well and I'm getting op with full node clearance on Monday.  That will be almost 8 weeks later. This waiting and worry over scans etc and worrying about further spread is like mental torture. 

    I hope you get good news from your scan. Is it possible you've had a previous injury to your shoulder? I'm sure read on here that sometimes other things show on scans and they need to check. 

    Good Luck with everything. You aren't alone.

  • Hope your results are good. Sending hugs xx

  • Hey Mich, I had breast cancer that spread to lymph nodes, I didn’t get any shoulder aches, though we all are different. 
    sometimes we imagine pain, then imagine the worst outcome. 
    Hugs to you Heart

  • Hi Mich, I have everything crossed for you. I am also waiting o. MRI results. I sometimes think that the waiting will KILL me if the cancer doesn't! It's agony isn't it. Hang in there though. I figure that all the scans etc at least show the medical team are taking things very seriously and absolutely doing their best. Hugs x
