Hi Gaynor, sorry you’ve had such a tough week, sending you ((hugs)). Just know that you are an inspiration and hope for someone like me as I am just about to go in for my second chemo session on Thursday and feel like I’m at the foot of the climb, but when I come on this site and see posts like yours and from other ladies “years” down the line, I feel a little more hopeful that I’ll make it to the top! Wishing you all the best and I’ll have everything crossed for you for tomorrow, Simone xxx
Hi Gaynor
Lots of hugs on the rough week you’ve had. I’ve just had my first mammo & like you was all clear; horay. (except they want to do another in 6 months to check a couple of bits of calcifications).
My aunt is about to start chemo as her BC (because she didn’t mention a lump to anyone) not picked up early as mine was on a routine mammo. Already in her liver. My mum is convinced I’ll end up like her so I’m trying to allay her fears for me by trying to get her to focus on her sister.
I feel when you have a loved one also having this horrible disease it intensify’s your feelings and how scared you can be. I’m terrified to be honest that the “calcification” I have is the start of my DCIS coming back & will it be invasive this time.
I’ve been told they are benign & 6 month check is to ere on side of caution but the doubts & fears are there.
I don’t know what time your appointment is; are you getting your results at the time; I hope you are. Please call your BCN for support; and let us know how you got on; so hopefully we can celebrate the good news that for you all is well for another year.
Take care
LOL

thanks ladies. last year they told me there and then everything was fine, so hopefully they will do the same tomorrow. my mum battled bc for 17 years. she died from bowel cancer and secondries in the brain. one of my friends has just had her second fec and another friend has just finished all her cemo. good luck to you both with whatever comes your way. gaynor
