Finally had my oncologist  appointment  today , 4 cycles of EC every three weeks, then 4 cycles carboplatin, along side pac weekly for 12 weeks. Down side,  don't need anymore tests but wants lung ct scan report back , even though he can see scans, not sure how long for results  to come back, then another 2-3 weeks before chemo can start! Still no date, probably  end of June before even start fighting  this! Feeling fed up! Anyone else done this waiting game, was diagnosed  April 19th...

  • Hi Sharonshaz39

    I am still waiting too although I have the operation planned for 6//6/22 then chemo, radiotherapy and hormone treatment.

    I was diagnosed with breast cancer and positive nodes on the 13/4/22. I have had a CT scan, bone scan(abnormality found in knee), x ray of the  knee and now I need an MRI scan to investigate my knee further. I'm not supposed to worry about it but is hard not to.

    Hope you get started with treatment soon as the waiting is difficult. I don't know about you but I just want to get on with it now.

    All the best with your treatment

  • Hi Stripey

    I'm TNBC  , it's awful all the waiting, it makes it worse knowing they not really waiting for anything, just purely no slots to start chemo, hope yours come back soon xx

  • Hi Sharon, it is waiting game alway unfortunately in which we all seem to have to go though. I was like you just wanted it over with all ready so I could get back to my ‘normal’ life

    I was diagnosed beginning of January and didn’t start any treatment till April as they wanted all sorts of different tests and scan ect before starting. It really is awful waiting but take this time to enjoy family and friends time and also time for yourself while you wait. I had a spa day, afternoon teas out, a week abroad for a little R&R before my life became at the mercy of appointments and treatments, it really did help to pass the time. 

    live accepted now that this year is a right off to cancer and all what it brings and next year will be my year to plan and make up for the lost time, hubby don’t know what’s gona hit him JoyJoy

    Wishing you well, take 1 day at a time xx

  • Thank you pocket rocket, hoping your treatment  going well x

  • Your welcome Sharon, and yes I’m going with the flow as have no choice after today 2 more left to go. Xx
