Hi ladies I have my 1st appointment with my oncologist today. It may sound weird, I’m not looking forward to it but in a way i am as it will put my mind at ease as I will know what’s what and hopefully finally get a full diagnosis. I know I will be having chemo before surgery so looks like I could be joining all the May ladies pretty soon ?. My husband is dreading it more than I am as he said with this appointment it makes things seem very real, and that things will soon be happening.
I’ve got my pad and lots of questions ready to ask but if anyone has any suggestions of what I need to ask I would be most grateful.
Hope it went well Mrs.S.
Don’t worry, they tend to tell you the important info but by bit and step by step, so it’s not too overwhelming. You should have a few leaflets to read - if not you can probably download them from BCC, to give you more info on the diagnosis, surgery options and drugs.
It’s all such a lot to take in at first, but you will be huided through it. Join the may or June thread for some wonderful support,

Hi ladies it went really well yesterday. The results from my MRI & CT were both negative so it hasn’t spread anywhere else ? and finally got a diagnosis and treatment plan.
I have Grade 3 Triple Negative and will be starting chemo 2 weeks at beginning of June ?
Got to have my marker put in on Friday and another lymph biopsy as that is still inconclusive ?.
So it begins… xxx?
Hi Mrs S
I also am triple negative and starting chemo 5 june. Had lumpectome 25 April and luckily hadnt spread to lymph nodes but was grade 3. Hopefully we can chat and share our experiences on June threads. X
