I have breast cancer oestrogen positive her2 negative, I've now been told I need a MRI
Thought I was going to be put on the list for a lumpectomy, was shocked when she said I needed a mri
You will still have lumpectomy I assume. They check you first with mri then u get surgery
I've been diagnosed today with stage 2 aggressive triple negative, saw consultant today to confirm plan, mri booked for Saturday, breast care nurse was great explaining MRI, they use info to compare as going through plan, I have chemo after then op then radiotherapy. I'm just trying to think of doing one stage at a time, hope u get on OK x
Aaah,good luck for Sat,I'm waiting for an appt,operation, radiotherapy, then maybe chemo.what a lot to take in isn't it.my heads spinning
I'm sorry to hear this....they know so much now...One step at a time.
I was in denial about my diagnosis for a couple days. Hugs.
I felt the same way you did..I thought after they biopsied my tumor and found cancer I would go straight to get it taken out.
I was also shocked (they did Ultrasound to check lymph nodes) THEN they did a biopsy on the lymph nodes (I'm in the USA).
Now I wait for that.....THEN the procedure will be scheduled.
I KNOW how you feel.....you will just end up going with the flow because that is all I figured out I CAN do.
I know,so much to take in,you just worry the cancer is getting worse while you wait.thanks for messaging x
