Scared

I'm sorry you find yourself waiting, it's really hard.

I had mammogram 2023 (2nd ever) and was recalled.

 The worst times I found are the ones where you are waiting on results and further information.

I was initially diagnosed with 1 tumour HER 2-, however after having MRI they found another 2 tumours one of which unfortunately was HER+ and necessitated the need for chemotherapy.

On to mastectomy and cancer found in 2 lymph nodes as 'micromets'.

 Finished treatments earlier this year although still on hormone treatments.

As others have often said, the worst part is the waiting and not knowing.

I know exactly how you're feeling you are not alone and it's a horrible time.

 Taking one day at a time really helped me.

 I wish I could take your suffering from you xx

Thank you for replying and you’ve done so well on your treatment journey. I’ve had a lovely chat with MacMillan this afternoon. I’ve decided to stay off Google and concentrate on the facts rather than the what ifs. Worrying isn’t going to change anjthhng and just make me feel worse. So I’m going to try this new approach. I’m also going to try and speak to some one on the phone or face to face each day rather than texting as it really helps and I feel more supported 

Hi sorry your on this forum but it is really useful I have found. Your diagnosis sounds similar to mine and I got diagnosed October 3rd. I had mastectomy 19th dec and awaiting to find out if lymph nodes were clear or not. It does seem to be ages between each result I’ve found that the hardest part of this whole ride so far. Stay strong they are the experts and seem to know what they are on about….. I hope anyway. Sending you a hug x

Hi there, I'm really glad you've found the Macmillan team and chatted to them, they are really great, aren’t they?   Waiting is THE most difficult for everyone and I know I found it best to keep super busy to distract myself.  I hope you get your results and a treatment plan soon. Best wishes 

Thank you. In this day and age it seems so cruel to have to wait for so long. A month ago I got told they 99% were sure it was bc at mammogram recall, and since then I’ve had it confirmed and had ct scan. Now waiting again. No one should have to wait over a month for a proper full diagnosis inc scans.
