I found a lump Dec 2020 went for mammogram and was told nothing there, rereferred April 2021 where they gave me an ultrasound and biopsy to be told yes it’s cancer, an occult one that doesn’t show on a mammogram, I had therapeutic mammoplasty June 17th, I went back for results 2 weeks later to be told removed with clear margins estranged positive HER2 negative but it’s been sent away for further tests( she didn’t say what test ) I then got an app to see an oncologist on the 17 th Aug then it was cancelled till the 24th Aug. I just feel this as been hanging over my head for the last 8 months and want to get on with any treatment I need.
Hi blackwood47
I feel for you waiting and waiting. I think that is absolutely the worst part, as out minds and imagination do overtime. It is good that you only have a few days more now to wait until your oncology appointment. You will hopefully get the results of the further tests and hear what your forward treatment plan is. Your breast care team will do their very best to help you beat what is now a very treatable disease. What we know about, we can deal with.
Use this forum to ask questions and get support. There is a great bunch of ladies here who will share experiences, hints and tips for getting through this as smoothly as possible.
Wishing you all the best for the 24th
