And so it goes on

Life after a breast cancer diagnosis Coping with fear and anxiety
1

They still aren’t 100% sure if it’s another type of cancer but as I’ve just had IDC and then a BCC they are leaning that way. The PET Scan showed that the swollen lymph node behind my breast bone is feeding “excessively “ on whatever they inject you with and is therefore classed as active. I’ve got to go into St Bartholomews for the surgery and it should be late November/early December. Then it’s the wait for results and we go from there.

Thank you all for your support and care and for the pm’s. BCN is the family that keeps us all strong.

Wishing you all a good week xxx

So incredibly frustrating that they can’t get to the bottom of it. Let’s hope that the surgery is as soon as possible in November so that you can get some answers and peace of mind before Christmas. You’re doing so well in such stressful circumstances but the uncertainty should be over in a few weeks :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:

Hi

Sorry to hear you haven’t got the result you wanted today, let’s hope they get your next operation appointment to you quickly.

We will all be thinking of you and sending you lots of hugs. Are you still seeing the nurse on Thursday?

The nurse was there today so she stayed after the consultant left and went through it all with us, so Thursday is cancelled. In fact I’ve managed to book a Clinical Hypnotherapy class on Zoom with Penny Brohn charity. They are so relaxing and I always nod off.

Thank you @JoanneN @Tigress & @chillout365 I really appreciate your support xxxxx

Bad luck but relaxation session sounds a good idea. I find a good loud scream in the countryside can help too. I don’t like being looked after and I like everything to be clear cut. I don’t like chronic conditions. Basically I hate everything about cancer. I did have art therapy. That really helped - I did an effigy of myself having radiotherapy. I left it at Barts and maybe it’s still there?
