Well, I just got back from my appointment, and first I want to thank you all for all your messages of support and encouragement! I really haven’t discussed my current worries with anybody else but you guys, and its been a relief to have been able to “voice” my concerns.
So, my oncologist examined my breast and declared that she could feel “fibrocystic changes”. At this point I start to explain that my left breast issue was “just another cyst” until it turned out to be cancer, but to my horror just dissolved into sobs. Anyway, upshot is that she agrees an ultrasound is in order, and so I guess that’s good news. At least she felt “lumps” and didn’t just tell me not to worry! (as I feared she might)
She did try to reassure me that triple negative cancer is often very responsive to chemotherapy,… “and sometimes it isn’t” I interjected, perhaps a little rudely. “And sometimes it isn’t”, she agreed calmly.
I do like that about her. I feel I can be honest, and she will be honest back to me, and I don’t have to worry about her being arrogant or dismissive of my thoughts and opinions.
The bummer is that I admitted to how much intestinal upset I have had over the past week, and now they’ve decided to cancel this week’s treatment, and also to check me out for infection. While I am pleased in some ways to “have a week off”, I’m not so happy that it’ll stretch this whole thing along a bit more. I was kind of looking forward to be finished in three weeks! 
hi ,
glad you were taken seriously and are getting an ultrasound.lets hope its nothing to worry about and you get an appointment soon.i have just had an ultrasound which i was told showed the lump to be benign change. i have to still get a mri though.i totally get how you must be feeling, take care xx
Oh Morwenna, no wonder you said you were feeling down on the other thread when I was moaning about my tooth.
I too am triple neg. I am having chemo first in case it doesn’t respond, so they will know either way. I am having MRI next week to see if it’s working, but it appears to be. I am on FEC and just had 3rd lot.
When will you have your ultrasound? waiting for results is the worst bit I think.
Sending you good vibes 
xx
I don’t know when it’ll be, but hopefully soon! The inc will send the order to the imaging centre, then no doubt they’ll give me a call. I was hoping she could have sent me down the hall as a “walk-in”, but I guess I can wait. I’ve done it before! “_”
So I had an appointment through the mail today for my ultrasound.
It is not until July 2 … at 7.20 am!! They really do start early here. The downside to that is all my friends are in bed by 9pm! 
Anyway, it’s all good. I have had a nice couple of days, the sun has been shining and I’m enjoying my chemo-holiday week! Went for a nice walk yesterday and I’ve been pottering in the garden.
I’ve got a dippy robin nesting under our deck. I think she has ADHD. She built multiple nests, completing 2 1/2, and laid eggs in two of them! I’ve seen her sitting on both nests so I’m afraid neither clutch will hatch! Wild bird experts have advised me to leave her alone, and if neither succeeds then at least we won’t be adding stupidity to the gene pool. Rather Darwinian of them, I feel!!!
I really feel quite chillaxed about the right breast lumps at this time. I am hoping they will cut the whole damn thing off anyway as I’m sure even if it is benign just now, it is only a matter of time!
Hi Morwenna I am thinking of you. I looked at your profile the other day. Like you I am a leftie. And I wanted a double mx - just wanted rid of the whole darn lot - but they wouldn’t do it! I am waiting for a mammogram on the right too. If they find something on it I shall probably smack someone in the face! I know its a bit of a wait until the 2nd July but I hope you get the reults quicker - the waiting is the worst bit! Sending positive vibes to you! Em x
Dear Morwenna,
Thinking about you and sending you positive thoughts.
Love xxx
So, both my oncologist, and my breast surgeon (who I saw yesterday) feel that I have nothing to worry about, but the imaging centre called me with a cancellation appointment, so I went for my u/s this morning.
The tech said she couldn’t feel anything, but she went on to mark what looked like a couple of small cysts … And then an area in the axilla!!
Then she went off to find the doctor, and he had a go. She informed him that she had “found a node”.
He decided to get a mammogram, so I had that, and then went back for another view with a bit more compression. (My port was rather in the way)
I sat and waited, trying not to bawl too loudly, and then the girl came back and told me " the doctor said there’s no cause for concern".
“What about the node?” I asked. But of course she couldn’t tell me anything, just “the doctor will have another look and send the full report to your oncologist”
Now, I don’t know what to think, but I do not feel totally reassured. I see my onc on Monday pm, so I hope they do have the report done stat.
Morwenna -Ouch! But I was glad to hear you got in well before 2 July. Just the weekend to get through now. Not long! Enjoy some strawberries- the crop is over a month behind here. Plenty of cream though.
Ok, so short version is the report does say fibrocystic changes and glandular tissue with no evidence of malignancy or lymphadenopathy!
I’m going with that, even though there’s no mention of the “node” the technician identified per se!
For the long version see January Jems thread on the Chemo forum!
Oh, and so far my ADHD robin has managed to hatch one egg! I am happy!! 
Yay! Hope you can relax and slog through the rest of your treatment! xx
