Hi, I am new to this group.
I noticed a lump and got it checked out just over a week ago.
Two biopsies of the lump, and a couple of nodes.
The consultant confirmed grade 3 in both, so now have CT and Bone Scans this Friday The consultant has told me the plan is for Chemo, followed by surgery and then radiotherapy.
I just want to get the oncology appointment asap and start the treatment
Hi Sandrad, sorry to hear your diagnosis. I too found lump got diagnosed in November last year, stage 3 triple negative in breast, lymph nodes are clear. Its a scary time the waiting for results and then treatment plan but once you see oncologist more and treatment plan is in place I found I was put more at ease. My treatment plan was same as yours - chemo first, surgery then radiotherapy. I started chemo on Xmas eve, 6 sessions altogether of FEC-T at 3 weekly intervals, 3 FEC I've already completed so halfway through, got 3 docetaxel to go.
This group is great for advice, experiences and feedback of any worries that you have. Wishing you all the best x
Hiya , welcome but sorry you’re here too
everyone here is so wonderful and friendly
The waiting is the worst isn’t it , hope you get on ok with your scans
love L xx

Fingers and everything crossed

Hi Sandrad I was diagnosed in January and Its been 4 weeks of waiting for a CT scan which is next week before being sent to oncology. Like you I just want to get started with treatment the waiting is doing my head in. All you can do is keep your self busy and trust the process that they need all the information before so they can get the right treatment started.
I wish you luck that the wait isn’t too long xx
Absolutely , all crossed for you
I’m the most impatient person anyway so waiting is not my forte ! Lol
One day at a time , don’t be tempted to look things up ( like me ) and drive yourself bonkers
love
L xx
