Welcome to the forum. It's a worrying time, however please try not to panic to much. I know easier said than done. I was in your position May last year. My anxiety was through the roof. However it's amazing all the treatments available for breast cancer.
I had her2neg erpostitve prpositive grade 3. I've had lumpectomy and removal of sentinel nodes. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I'm now on Letrozole for 5 years and bone infusions 6monthly for 3 year.
I am now in remission and have returned to work in February.
Once you know your type and have treatment plan you can take control again and take it step by step I I wish you well in your recovery xx
Thank you so much for your message I'm in high stress at the moment but reading your message has helped and I'm so happy your in remission, I will message when I get results be good to talk to you again. Much love Chrissy
Welcome to the forum although I’m sorry you have to be here. I was in your position last year and remember the worry all too well. Waiting for results, tests and appointments really is the worst part but I guarantee you will feel better when you know what is happening and when. x
Hi Chrissy and other newbies, I'm so sorry you find yourselves here. My daughter was in your place in May 2023. We were both beyond terrified of the future. Try not to think too much about grade and stage - this waiting time is the worst. Once you have a treatment plan and get started, things will fall into place. Do keep talking to the CNS nurses, they're so knowledgeable and a fantastic support. Daughter finished her treatment six weeks ago - three different types of chemo, surgery and radiotherapy. No one's pretending it's easy but you will get through it. Keep posting here and very best wishes to you all. Sending love, strength and a big hug. ((( )))
It is anxiety provoking. Whilst waiting use this as a time to have some wee treats to yourself.
Distraction also helps spend time with people you gel to. Look out some box sets to watch when going through treatments. Do the things you can do just now like going out things you might not feel up to for a few months depending on your treatment program.
I wish you well. Please keep us update on your progress and use the forum, macmillan nurses and cancer care for supports.
Thank you for messaging, yes I think I have had so many negative thoughts so I know where you are emotional roller coaster I have been trying to keep busier which helps a bit but Tuesday is the day I find out some of the results and then have to wait for a pet scan feels like time has stopped I will keep you up to date and let me know how you get on keep busy be thinking of you
