    Hi Lefty87 

    I haven’t had this experience - I had a lumpectomy which healed easily. I wonder if you would find more people with the same experience if you were to post this on the Breast cancer forum ?

    i hope it heals soon.

    Hi Emmalouis 

    I am sorry you are waiting for the results of biopsies. I understand you are concerned your appointment has been brought forward, but it’s good you don’t have so long to wait. If it does turn out to be cancer they will have a plan for you…

    Hi Charden 

    I am sorry you are finding the waiting for results phase so hard and glad it’s not too long now until your appointment. It will feel a bit better when you know more about what you are facing and have a treatment plan. For most people breast…

    Welcome to the MacMillan Community. I am sorry you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and (if I read correctly) you have some lymph node involvement. It’s absolutely normal to be anxious about surgery and to also be worried about the cancer…

    Hi VeraZzz 

    I am sorry you are going through this and don’t have a lot of family support around you. It’s too early to tell what your treatment path will be but not all ER+ cancers need chemo. Recovery time from surgery will depend on what operation you…

    It’s worth joining the main Breast cancer forum too as that’s busier than this one. Don’t stress about being positive - it might make it easier to deal with treatment but it makes no difference at all to your cancer.

    Hi Maps 

    I have metastatic TNBC but have not experienced cape. I am sorry you are struggling with your eyes. You might want to post on one of our breast cancer forums as you will likely come across other people being treated with cape.

    I am sorry you had a mammogram recall Weeyin and that you are now waiting for results from your biopsy. As you say a lot of problems aren’t cancer at all and in my experience they tend to set expectations of what it is whilst doing the ultrasound and biopsy…

    Hi Anjo 

    I can’t answer your question as I have neither had Zoladex nor Moujaro but didn’t want your post to go unanswered. Our Breast cancer forum is much busier and you may find it easier to get a response there.
