I was treated for a grade 3 breast cancer in 2018. I have just spent 3 days in A & E with a CAT scan and have been told they have found another lump in my breast, plus blood clots and another area in my neck. I am back on the tests train now and feeling totally wiped. My symptoms seem much harsher than they were when I was first diagnosed. I know it will be a mastectomy this time. I just had WLE and radiotherapy last time. I am not even sure why I am posting here but feel like I somehow need to just be with others going through it. Sorry feel a bit weepy - not like me at all.

  • Welcome to the forum and sorry hear that are facing a diagnosis of breast cancer again.  No need to apologise for feeling weepy I understand what you are going through, as I’m no doubt sure others on here will as well. it’s not easy waiting for results of tests.

    Wishing you the best of luck with your results and with whatever treatments you may have to have.

    Best wishes

  • I'm not surprised you feel weepy.  If you just feel like chatty about the situation you are in or just life in general join us on the Awake thread.  Been running a few years but Newbies always joining.  Just go to last post and click latest post and say hi

  • I’d feel weepy too violetmac, so unfair. I felt weepy for myself when mine came back too. You know yourself this bit waiting for the tests and results is so so tough but we’re all here for you and sending lots of love x

    Thank you. Yes I am in the quiet zone before the barrage of more tests. My 'case' is up for discussion on Thursday with the multidisciplinary team so I have a few quiet days until then. Just trying to keep my mind occupied.

    Thank you I am just trying to keep my mind occupied at the moment. I can barely walk or do anything upright for more than a couple of minutes right now because my energy just drains from me ( and that's before treatment lol ) . My family are wonderful but on the other end of the country so having a place to come to with people that know the drill so to speak really helps.
