Hi jameva,
Not sure if you still out there since you never had any success with your posting. I would love to know how you got on. Hope your keeping well and treatment been successful for you. I’m fairly new to this site so still browsing quite a bit, that’s how I came across your thread. I was diagnosed in Jan 06, had the works, 2 ops followed by chemo and rads then Tamoxifen. Now I have found a lump in my neck which I’m very worried about, going to hospital tomorrow so going to call in the breast clinic & hopefully someone will see me. Let me know how things are if you still using this site.
Take Care

Hi Judy,

Thank you for asking, my lump turned out to be nothing sinister, thank god, onc thinks it may have been a reaction to something but still having regular checks. How did you get on at the hospital today? Did you get to see someone? Please let me know

Fingers crossed

Hi Betina,
I bet you had given up on this thread and was shocked when it came alive Lol :slight_smile:
Sorry its taken me so long to get back to you but went back to uni last week and life has became even more hectic than usual.
So glad your news had been positive, I think mine should be too. Saw Doc who didn’t seem concerned about my lump but referred me for an ultra sound anyway. Not heard anything about a date for that yet so I presume they not worried either.
Take Care,
Love Judy X

Hi Betina and Judy

Just came across your thread, and want to say how pleased and and happy I am for you both. Very scary but at the end of the day a good result.
