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.
