Hi everyone, I need some advise. I had my biopsy over 5 weeks ago when they told me it was cancer, official diagnosis on 16th June and I am still waiting for HER+ result to be able to start treatment. They have said a hold up in Birmingham lab and lots of people are waiting and just keep apologising to me.
They have MDT meeting twice a week so I am on tenterhooks waiting for the call again today but feeling like not going to happen. Each week I call up myself to ask and am told sorry, didn't get results back.
Do I just keep waiting or is there anything I should be doing. I know I want the right treatment so should wait but each day that passes I am worried it will be growing. Am I just impatient?
Hope your keeping well this journey is horrible do you know how long your going to be in hospital to have the operation? Keep me up to date please and look after yourself x
Hi Debimay thank you for checking in with me. I have my surgery booked in for Thursday, had my COVID test yesterday so isolating now until I go in. They have said I should be out the same day but to take an overnight bag just in case.
They can do that in a day that's amazing I hate hospitals, well I work in one don't mind that but please don't make me sleep in one ha ha! I will be thinking of you Thursday I'm sure it will all go well and when your feeling up to it let us know how your doing good luck x
Unfortunately yes first time 2009 then a reoccurance 2012..but I'm still here.What is psy? I don't have any treatment plan and my next appointment is not until the 11th. Everything seems to be taking a long time. I don't even know what type of cancer it is. Your symptoms sound similar to mine. Good luck with the next bit.
