Mid diagnosis

Thank you for sharing. Gosh bloody cancer eh! 

Glad you are feeling good. What treatment are you having?x 

I'm going to be 61 in April, took VR on 1st August 2024, was having a chilled time and 2 months later bam.  I am trying to pretty much go with the flow, stressing won't change anything except my own well being.   Doesn't always work but mostly trying to get on with life.  I agree with writing it down, think that's why I am sharing my experiences on here so much.  Helps me to let things go.  Good luck to you xxx

Has anyone had dimpling which has turned out not to be invasive breast cancer..... 

I'm driving myself crazy here.

If I was you, then I’d call the breast cancer now helpline and talk it through. It’s a lot to process and at this moment in time you don’t have a diagnosis either way. Macmillan or breast cancer now will talk it all through and calm you a little. It’s a horrendous feeling. Everything seems so out of your hands. But once you get a diagnosis either way then you’ll know the route you’re taking. Take care x

Hey

Been thinking of you this afternoon. Hope all is well x 

Hi. Just got back from hospital. Confirmed ductal cancer stage 3 in breast and lymph node. Surgery on 22nd Jan then radiotherapy and possibly/probably chemo.

Really good at the hospital though and I'm fine with it, just ready to get it done and finished with. 

Be thinking about you on Thursday. XXXX

Wow they're moving quickly which is amazing isn't it and you've a plan which is what's needed. 

Did they ask what surgery you'd prefer or tell you what was best?

Here if need a chat. 

Thank you x

She told me only a lumpectomy was necessary.  They call it a wide Local excision. It will go round the side of my breast and then into the armpit. My lumps are right breast, right side so this surgery works out best. 

She sat with us for over an hour explaining everything thoroughly, then a breast cancer nurse went through everything  and gave me loads of leaflets.  Put your trust in these people. For us it's a once in a lifetime thing. For them they do it every day. 

Honestly the chemo was pretty horrible. But it does end and it is doable. You will get through it. 

Hi How did ot go today? Been thinking about you. Here if you need to talk. XXXX
