Breast cancer

Hello Trish. Sorry that you find yourself here - but you will find lots of support. It must be a shock as it is all so quick - but please think positively that it has all been so quick. I too am having a mastectomy next week plus lymph node clearance. I was referred on 17th November, so been round many cycles of scans to get to this stage and a lot of waiting which has been agonising.
Think positive. The experts know what they are doing and will keep you informed of what’s needed. Keeping looking ahead and you’ll get through it x

If you are already booked in for surgery I would have thought the cancer hasn’t spread beyond locally  - the experts need to know the full picture before surgery. That was what I understood x

Hi.yes sleepless nights. I know them too well!!  I'm very similar to you. Got refereed on 19th January by GP after finding a dimpling.. then since then all the scans etc. Been told I will need mastectomy as spread to armpits (lymph nodes). Just waiting from the ct scan result now to see if spread elsewhere. Won't know til 18th March. 

I don't think I have slept probably  through since the 19th January.  We get all thoughts going through our heads our brains go into overload. 

Just try to take each day as it comes well that's what I keep telling myself. We all have good and bad days! 

Yes I am on a similar time scale. I am having Pet scan on Tuesday as CT showed up some nodules. The waiting and the lieing awake at night are the worst part.  I try and read a book but mind goes off in all directions. Good to hear others in similar position.

I have a book on my bedside table but not opened it. 

It's been there for over a week now.!! 

Good luck for Tuesday 

1. Hi, I am in the same position and waiting on my bone and CT scan results, having sleepless nights. Have you had your results, hoping everything went well for x
