I was diagnoses with a cyst a year ago after finding  a lump and having a mammogram  I went back as l was still worried and got mammogram ultrasound and mri

I have been told l have two lobular cancers 3cm and 2cm but told it was fairly straightforward lumpectomy .l now need a mastectomy  but told it looks like it is contained

I have estrogen positive but one of the lumps has come back as her2 borderline  the other is negative 

Waiting on phone call over the next two days regarding results and   treatment  surgery Monday or chemo first

Has anyone had anything similar.l am losing confidence as each time l go back the information changed and delayed

That waiting is awful 

  • Geri,

    Have faith - once you have results, you will have a treatment plan.

    From there you’ll know what’s happening and get your head around it!

    Everything moves pretty quickly from there on. 

    There are some lovely people on this forum and many experiences they can share with you. It’s a tremendous help.

    Best wishes xx

  • Hi, try not to worry too much. I have 2 small lumps, one oestrogen and the other her2 positive, o have to have 6 chemo sessions with target therapy at the same time then a lumpectomy, not sure what’s to follow after that, I will see the surgeon on the 5th chemo when I’ve had another savant to see if the lumps have shrunk 

  • Thanks,it is so lovely to have someone who stops my mind racing 

    I was even crying in the shop as the jammies for hospital had stupid slogans on like " l am in a good mood day" l left empty handed

    Hospital said they would call today or tomorrow  so only one more sleep

  • No calls today 

    Hopefully tomorrow as surgery scheduled for Monday depending on results 

    One more sleep

    Thanks for responding 

  • Cry all you like - better to let it out.

    Try to find some grumpy slogans , they’ll make you smile.
