Just saying hello

Hello. I had my diagnosis on Thursday. It’s reassuring to see that you haven’t waited too long between diagnosis and surgery. I hope things go well for you. The waiting is excruciating isn’t it?  I keep thinking every pain elsewhere is something sinister. x

Hello. The surgery was arranged quickly and my local breast care unit have been amazing. I was treated very well in hospital and it went well. Yes the waiting is hard. I know what you mean about thinking pain anywhere else is something serious. Wishing you all the best x

Hi!

I'm 4 wekks in recovery from a lumptectomy and lymph node sample and I agree that the waiting around is hard because in your head you are a priority but not necessarily to the professionals hey. 

I was told this time one of my margins was butted up against a blood vessel so they don't know if they've got it all or not so I'm waiting to start letrozole which apparently will reduce my risk of getting it a 4th time by half. 

I'be only just reached out to this site myself so nice to meet you and I hope everything goes really well for you x

Hi. Nice to meet you too. Hope your treatment goes well too. Sometimes it all feels very surreal x

Hi I also had my diagnosis on Thursday. It's  good to hear that I'm not the only one thinking every pain is something sinister. Haven't got date for surgery, but hopefully first week of the new year x

It’s so frightening isn’t it. I have a lot of pain in shoulder blade, sternum arm and hip bone. I can’t help but think the worst. I have been told it’s cancer just from my initial mammogram and ultrasound. I have a large lump. My biopsy results have not yet come back. The doctor was adamant I need to prepare for surgery, chemo and radiation so I’m guessing what they have seen is not good. Very fearful and desperate for my biopsy results to know more. 
I hope your surgery goes well and wish you lots of positivity and healing for the future x

You sound like you're in quite a lot of pain. I hope you get  the result of your biopsy soon and get a fate for surgery. I've had two types of biopsies the last one was a vacuum biopsy and got my results exactly a week later. I'm lucky my cancer is stage 1, grade 3. I am having a lumpectomy and a lymph node biopsy, followed by radiation. I am getting pain in my armpit so I keep thinking they will find something in my lymph node. I am staying positive and am going to enjoy Christmas. Wishing you good luck and sending lots of positive vibes x

Hope you are all OK. I am finding the waiting for results is quite hard. Also hoping my bone scan doesn't show anything. I get aches and pains in my bones since l went through the menopause. Wishing uou all well with any surgeries and treatments.My hreast care team have been so kind and even gave me a heart shaped cushion to wear under my seat belt. I sleep with the cushion and my little cat Snickers. He has been by my side every night.

Cats are the best. Glad Snickers is giving you comfort. X
