I appear to have got on the BC rollercoaster...

Hi Mads, welcome to the community that no one wants to be eligible for! Are all the bumps in the same breast?

I hope the oncologist is able to give some good answers today.

Hi MadsBee

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with breast cancer.

Best of luck with your oncologist appointment if you haven't had it yet.

Best wishes

Hi GreyCats,

Thank you so much for your reply!

Yes, all those little bleepers are in the same breast. The oncology appointment went well and it all seems optimistic. 

I'm not excited about the prospect of chemo but that's hardly surprising! 

How are you doing?

Hi Daisy53,

Thank you lovely! It went ok. Nerve wracking but ok. It's the fear of the unknown that gets me. I feel quietly hopeful.

How are you doing?

Hi GreyCats,

Thank you so much for your response. I replied earlier but who knows where that went! Into the ether somewhere I guess!

Yes, the bumps are all in the same side. The oncologist seemed positive so I was quite reassured.

How's your journey going lovely?

The forum has a few peculiarities, such as sometimes requiring another click on the login icon before it will show you as logged in, so a lost message is possible. I think the team is working on ironing out any glitches, but a site this side will take some doing.

Good on the oncologist being positive!

Not much to tell from my end other than I am more than ready to get off the cancer-ride, but it takes as long as it takes.

Unfortunately this is one of those situations that we just have to ride out! I'm not sure who said 'the only way out is through' but they were right. 

So an MRI for me this Thursday just to check for any lurkers. It's looking like 2/3 weeks till the chemo adventure begins. I've decided to try the cold cap but it sounds a bit ominous. We shall see I guess! 

Hope things are going well for you.

Take care lovely!

I'm doing good thanks Mads.

Hi I’m  also new to this I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago had MRI results worst than originally thought I’m booked in for surgery for 6weeks time , xx

Hi Louisejohn,

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm worried about the MRI finding other stuff too but if they find it they can treat it I guess. It's not something that we want to hear though. Oh love! 

It's great that you've got a date for surgery. Hopefully the next 6 weeks will fly by and you'll be out the other side before you know it. How are you feeling about the surgery though? Do you have to have chemo as well or radiotherapy? 

Sorry for all my questions, I'm just really nosy! 

Take care lovely!

Mads
