Morning all. Spent last night feeling low and confused. Apologies if this is a long one. Had a mastectomy in December. Pathology showed spread to sentinel node in Jan. Started chemo in Feb. Picked up an infection after first round and was diagnosed with acute diverticulitis. Lesion found on liver. MRI in March on liver. Got results yesterday and the lesion is a benign cyst. However the MRI did pick up possible precancerous cysts in the pancreas so I will need another MRI on that. Feeling like this journey is never ending. The oncologist asked if I'd heard from the gastric team, which I haven't and she said I'd have to wait and hear from them as its not her department. I'm feeling really lost right now and dont know who to talk to about it as i have no contacts for the gastric team. I have a sigmoidoscopy for the diverticulitis once the breast cancer treatment is done but yesterday the oncologist said I would need radiotherapy (expected), immunotherapy and transfusions. Very overwhelmed. Mostly worried now about the pancreas as that's a whole different ball game.
Hello Sansa35c942
I am really sorry to read your post and to see how much you are going through. No wonder you are overwhelmed and worried as it seems like one thing after another after another for you.
I don't think there will be too many ladies around who will have the experience to offer any advice, but I do feel that a telephone call to the Macmillan team will certainly be a good thing for you emotionally.
Please do give them a call and get some support from them. Telephone: 0808 808 00 00
Kindest wishes, Lesley
