    Oh Dee

    It might sound daunting but it's "CURABLE" and that is immense. Really, REALLY good news. If I were you (and I wouldn't mind that diagnosis in preference to my own) I would be feeling quite relieved.

    Now - you will need to put your best foot forward and do all you can to help your body and the oncs...

    A really good diet, regular exercise & a positive mental attitude should work wonders. It's all going to be a bit of faff whilst you get used to the treatment but speak with your CNS and ask what they recommend to help the healing process - go get 'em girl!!!

    Hearing that word "curable" should give you great heart - I'd take that in an instant. Keep a positive attitude as you have a great chance of beating it

  • Well that is good news, but a little different to the news you received yesterday from the respiratory nurse. That is why I was concerned that she had told you, it really is not her place to do so. As they have said this is curable, which is obviously tremendous news, but have they given a reason as to why they won't be operating?  I also can't see from your posts whether you have had a biopsy? Have they mentioned this being done? What are they going to do about the nodule in the breast?  If it was me I would like all the box's ticked to give me the best chance. 

    Really good news today and SiT is right with his advice to you, concentrate now on the treatment ahead.
