Hi there, I hope you’re feeling okay today & your children are well. So sorry you’re in the club that absolutely nobody wants to be in.
Have you managed to get any results back yet? Hopefully you’re not waiting still & you know the treatment ahead for you.
By the sound of things you’ve caught it early thank goodness!!
I’m sure you’ll find everybody on here are so understanding & helpful. Even on the really bad days we have!
I understand totally the anxiety of waiting on results. I was diagnosed initially last February with Lobular Breast Cancer & I ended up waiting a month just for my referral to my first appointment at the hospital. It seemed to be a trend of me waiting a while for results. I had a bone biopsy taken from my pelvis in March after several breast biopsies, scans etc and I waited 5 weeks for the results because the bone sample was crushed apparently and several Drs had to examine it to decide on whether the breast cancer had spread. Unfortunately it had and I have stage 4 breast cancer.
I’ll not have surgery now for a single mastectomy, I’ll take medication each day.
I’m currently on my first break off the Letrozole & Ribociclib because the brain fog & exhaustion is just too much, I’m not coping at all well with it sadly.
I’m hopeful that maybe a different AI may be a little kinder on the brain & I can finally think straight again, although I will try again on the Letrozole in a couple of weeks time.
Wishing you all the very best

Hi loki thank you so much for your kind words, im so sorry youve been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer you must be having such a horrible time with it all, im praying it will ease the best it can for you i find out the results on tuesday im hoping if it is then ive caught it early and can also fight it as my boys are my world and im not ready to leave them. My 18 year old knows however my 9 and 7 year old dont know i feel like they r too young to understand the seriousness nor should i let it affect them, they r happy go lucky boys and the last thing i want is the family to change because of this.
Wishing you all the best on your very hard fight against this horrible diease x
Thankyou so much mumto3boyz
I understand you totally wanting to protect your children especially the little ones. I agree with you that they are too young to understand.
I have 2 grown up sons, the youngest, 29, still lives at home with us. The eldest moved to Leeds from the North West almost 2 years ago & we miss him terribly. It’s not a million miles away but still 
You know you are young & if your results aren’t what we’d want at all you’ll get through it with the support of your family, friends & coming on this forum for advice or to vent or both!
Cancer treatments have come on so so much in recent years it’s amazing really.
We must try to stay strong & talk to people when we need to. Don’t bottle things up inside as I have learnt
I had a bit of a meltdown last week at my hospital appointment. I just got so upset I couldn’t hold the tears back but that’s okay
Keep strong, positive & keep talking because you’ll come through the other side

Hi,
My mother in law was diagnosed with breast cancer, made a full recovery and some time later took a holiday and went hang gliding in Jamaica!-stay strong.
The reason for this delay is the NHS ship biopsies to an American company and the delay is often several weeks with a 3/4k charge. The good news is, a UK created business can offer exactly the same results, in a fraction of the time(on site 1 hour) and a fraction of the cost. As with all new initiatives, NICE are having to review but it will happen. Take care.

Update…
I got my results on tuesday took a day to get my head around it as i clung to that little bit of hope over the last 4 weeks that it wasnt cancer, but unfortunately im definately joinging you all on this journey.
Ive been diagnosed with a grade 2 invasive ductal cancer. So im very positive on the fact its early breast cancer and i can kick its butt 
Ive been told a basic plan, lumpectomy with a sentinel node biopsy then if alls okay after that 5 to 15 days of daily radiotherapy and then 5 years of hormone tablets.
Im back at the breast clinic next week to havr bloods taken for a gentic test to find out if ive been born with a defected gene as theirs no breast cancer history in my family and i was told the basic plan could all change on what that says.
Also may have to have a magseed put into the breast next week as apparantly the tumor is bruised or something…
feels like one thing after another 
but im feeling positive, not the diagnosis i wanted but definstely the best i could of got out of the stages and grades

Not the news you wanted I’m sorry. Though everything sounds positive. You found it and they can treat it
Hopefully you wont be given any curve balls but there’s nothing you can’t manage now.
Sending you lots of love and hugs

Hi
I am new here too 
I was diagnosed with a 9mm ER + grade 1 IDC 3 weeks ago. I had a seed guided lumpectomy 3 days ago and also SLNB . They removed a single lymph node and my arm has felt fine .
Recovery so far has been quick - feeling quite normal today apart from my dressings and sexy stockings ! Doing my exercises 3 times a day as instructed .
My results appointment is on 27th so I will be stressing massively over that in case anything changes .
Current plan for me will be 5 sessions of RT followed by hormone therapy .
