secondary assessment on Monday

Hi,  I’m so sorry you are in this situation,  it sucks and the waiting is by far the worst.  You  probably feel worse because you didn’t sleep, I hope tonight is better for you.   My first appointments I felt much like you, I found it easier once I knew what I was dealing with.   We are here for each other.  Sending you a big hug x 

yes, It will be a long weekend. Thanks for the online hug too, I needed this :)

Hi TS2021

I agree with Greencyclist, the hardest thing is waiting to know what is what. I really hope for you that it is not breast cancer. However, know that there has never been a better time to have it as far as the available treatments and treatment success rates are concerned. It is not now treated as one disease and the treatments are tailored to the exact cell type and the needs of each individual. I hope that you will not be having to learn more about these treatments.

Put yourself into the hands of your breast cancer diagnosis/care team and they will do their very best for you.

I wish you good sleep and the news you want to hear on Monday.

Whatever happens let us know how you are getting on. There is always someone on here to listen and give helpful advice.

Take care

I was excatly the same when I received my letter, kept everything g to myself through each appointment, more for the fact I really did t have answers so until I did it was the way I wanted to do things. Try not to worry lots of walks and fresh air, sending positive thoughts x

thanks for this, its reassuring. yes I'll let you know how I get on. I feel a bit calmer now.

x positive thoughts, appreciate this

I had horrors when I had my recall 6 years ago .  My mother & sister died within weeks of cancer diagnosis (bowel & brain) so thought my time up !  Thankfully BC one of the more treatable cancers x

NEDDY! this good to hear

Hi

an update, after my appointment yesterday. 

I'm told I have calcifications in the left breast, I underwent a biopsy and I go back next Monday to find out the results. I'd never heard of calcification before, but I did google it! 

 I just have to wait, the doctor didn't speculate, although I assume she has seen this many many times. The nurses were very nice.

I had two areas of breast calcification- 10mm & 5mm.  The smaller area was benign after biopsy the larger area intermediate DCIS.  Upgrade to high grade DCIS after surgery & 11mm
