Letter

I'm only just stsrting my journey so I am afraid I am unable to help with the jargon side of things but there are nurses on here who may be able to offer some support with this as this did when I received my initial diagnosis 

Good luck 

I think I’ve managed to figure it out ♀️

If you're unsure then you can post on here if you are comfortable sharing,  and we can help:)

I don’t mind , I think I’ve figured it out but my head was in a bit of a whirlwind earlier .

diagnosis - palpable lump left breast , 2 areas measuring 10mm on each , total area  30mm including nipple 

core biopsy - grade 2 ductal carcinoma , oestrogen receptor 8/8 and 7/8 .

axillary lymph node FNA LC4 equivocal

no palpable lymph nodes in left axilla

I hope that having figured it out the whirlwind has passed over. Hope to hear from you again soon about how you are getting on x

Thank you , I think I have it figured but my brain keeps telling me otherwise

Seeing your results in black and white must have made everything more real for you ... but the whole thing felt so surreal and overwhelming for me at the beginning...

And it's a lot to take in, no wonder you don't quite trust your brain - I'm sure you have a load of questions about the implications of the contents of the letter too.

 If you haven't had one already, I hope you have an appointed soon to discuss it really soon; If not then I'm sure the Macmillan helpline will be able to help on the information side of things and I know there are many women here who would want to support you through this too. X
