Official Results Day

Hi , no pests here, good you’ve come to share your results and it’s always a great place to ask questions, share experiences, have a rant or just to chat! Glad you’ve had your results and it sounds like your oncologist has done a thorough job of explaining possible treatment routes. Sorry you’ve got more waiting for scans and results but good to get them all out of the way so that the team can decide the best plan for you. As you go through the different treatment stages there will always be people here who’ve gone through something similar and will have advice to share. And you may have already seen the monthly chemo and radiotherapy threads in the Diagnosis and Treatments Section, definitely worth joining in at some point. 

Good luck with it all and keep us updated as you have your tests and finalise treatment plans. Love and hugs, HFxx

Hello Sudge

Glad that you have had your results and that the oncologist has taken time to explain things to you and what the forward plan is.

Good luck going forward. Keep in touch and remember there are always ladies here to give support at whatever stage you are at in your treatment.

All the best

Your Consultant seems to have explained your Plan very well to you. The MRI scan is nothing to worry about at all and will help enormously in the investigation process. June's not so far away in the grand scheme of things. You can be that lucky and I always maintain that every part is doable even if we do get dark thoughts at times (and I do). Remember the watchword phrase "This is treatable". Suggest you arrange some big treat for June next year to look forward to and work towards.

Hi, thanks for the encouragement and the admission that you have dark thoughts too its good to know I am not alone. I suppose when you think of it June isnt far away afterall just seems like it as we are only just going into autumn.  Went on hols with daughter and grandson July and she wanted to do it again next year and I had a holiday booked to go with husband in October but thats cancelled now sadly so maybe a holiday could be what i could focus on as my big treat. Thanks again x

Hello Wallydug, thanks for the kind words and support. He did explain things and I asked him lots of questions too. I was in there quite a while but he never rushed me. Then a nurse took me in another and explained things even more . I was much better than last week as I was not as upset but then I had 9 days to process it all. Still wish it wasn't happening to me but hopefully this will pass and I can start and feel more positive. Thank you I think I will be using this site for lots of support and suggestions with every stage.

Hi Happyfeet, thanks that good to hear, I have been looking on here and reading lots of information and  people's experiences in readiness for my next steps forward. I am still new as only joined last week so i haven't seen the chemo and radio threads which certainly seems a good idea so I can get more of an insight as to what to expect. On the crying front I feel like I have cried non stop for the entire 9 days I have waited for results day. I can now talk to my family without getting as upset which has to be seen as a positive and no doubt there will be many more tears to come yet.

Morning Sudge

Good to hear from you and glad you’re feeling more positive having spoken to your consultant now and have a treatment plan in place.  I’m feeling much more optimistic  too after speaking to my consultant and have surgery coming up soon.  I’m sure you’re in safe hands and they will do everything possible so you have a successful outcome. 
Big hugs x

Morning Wobbly, you are having surgery soon mine wone be until ive had my chemo so I have to get through that 1st.Glad you are feeling optimistic too so much better when you are armed with actual facts isnt it. Still scary and unpredictable but better than where we were last week  Fingers crossed for you too x

Thanks Sudge.  I’m having pre op on 18th, lumpectomy on the 24th and not sure yet whether it will be chemo or radiotherapy afterwards or both.  It’s Grade 3 HER2 positive but thankfully small.  I’m glad things are starting to move forward now. Lots of luck for your MRI.  Do you have a date? 

Oh yes, dark thoughts and black humour too.
