Just wanted to say a panicky hello. Received biopsy results yesterday and reeling from the results. Grade 3 ductal cancer plus in lymph nodes. Op already scheduled for surgery on 13th November. Terrified it might be elsewhere. Horrible conversation with daughters who are both away at university. On a rollercoaster I didn’t sign up for! Anyone else feeling like this?

  • Hi there, welcome to the club that no one asks to join. I'm one of the champions here in this group and I'm glad you've found us,  hope you'll find this a useful place for help and support.   I'm so sorry you've had these results, but it sounds positive that your surgery is already planned.

    It's an emotional and overwhelming time so don't forget, as well as this group, the lovely folks at Macmillan are at the end of the phone, 8am to 8pm on 0800 808 0000 for advice, or simply to listen to your concerns.

  • Thank you. Trying to remain positive and busy prior to surgery. Walking everyday and self care. Just want to get on with the next step. Pre op and marker on 20th so things are happening. 

  • I was diagnosed with grade 2 plus lymph nodes in May, had 2 mths of tests as they thought I might have secondary in spine.  I was relieved when told that was negative. Have 2 rounds of chemo to go.  I am single and have 3 children 19, 18, 15...I understand how traumatic it is.

    You are stronger than you think and deal with each day at a time x

  • Thank you for your message. I think I simply have to take day at a time. Telling the girls away at university broke my heart.
