Hi all
Been to the women’s hospital today, basically said that it’s stage 3/4 because the lymph node in my stomach is bulky waiting to see if they can do any kind of surgery because I’m classed as high risk. If they can’t operate then it will be treatment. Been given a medication to start called anastrozde and need to go to Liverpool royal to do a breathing test and then hope they decide to operate. Feeling devastated at the moment as feel like I’m going to die of this but on the positive it hasn’t spread to any organs just the lymph node possibly. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this as all I can think is this is it sometime soon. My new csn said not to get hung up on the numbers as its just for the doctors and how they work. Anyone else been in a similar situation or know of anyone in a similar situation? Just feel so lost and defeated already
Hi Rach_E. It's awful to get news like this but listen your CSN and don't get hung up on the numbers. I'm not familiar with the medication so I can't compare notes. It hasn't spread to any organs so take that on board but I know how you feel, you just want it out of you and like yesterday! Put your trust in your team, they'll think everything through and get you on the right track to get you sorted as soon as possible.
Sending hugs, Barb xx
