Please help me ladies. I’ve been told that my BC has spread to my lymph nodes in my neck. I had a bone scan on Friday & the nurse said “I shouldn’t say anything but that looks ok to me” please God he’s right. I’ve had a CT scan & it hasn’t gone to any organs. When I had a meeting with my Ong she said 6 or 8 rounds of chemo & then herceptin. I’m very scared x
You sound as if you’re in a good position to get rid of cancer. The ladies here are very experienced and will reassure you that the treatment is doable. They’ve all been through it and coped. Best wishes
My children are 21 and 24 and we’ve been completely open with them all the way along. They have been wonderful - very strong and supportive. I can’t think the nurse would have said anything if she wasn’t sure. I pretty much knew when my bone scan was done that they’d seen something. I very much hope you are clear and you can get rid of the cancer and get on with your life x
Hello
Just noticed this thread has slipped a bit down the list so thought I would just post to bring it back up as it’s the most popular one here .
Hope everyone is ok and enjoying a quiet Sunday. …no Durrells or Good Karma Hospital tonight. .boo hoo …will have to put up with himself watching cricket again…like watching paint dry!
Hi Carolyn, hi everyone. Just on our way home from a weekend in Devon visiting my stepson and his partner and my lovely step,-granddaughter, age 3. Had a beautiful sunny day yesterday, must’ve been in the best place in Britain, sitting on the beach!
Seeing the oncologist on Wednesday to see if I can continue with capecitabine. I’m having a pretty good quality of life, but feel the dodgy nodes are getting worse, so I’m not sure what he’ll say. One thing I’ve learned, whatever you expect to happen at a consultation, it’s usually different from what you thought, so it’s better to try not to think at all!
Good luck to anyone else with medical appointments this week!
Hello tatyana
Well you have been down here with us Devonshire dumplings then …weather has been pretty good depends on what beach you were on.
I do hope you can continue with cape as it seems to be a good drug. …

Hi all
Great news you are back in work Anne - it’s nice to get some sort of normality and sense of identity back that work can give. I remember feeling achy after first injection but no problem since. Some good news today scan is stable so to continue letrozole and repeat 3 months. Thinking of everyone having results today.
Best wishes sarah x
So pleased about your scan. That’s great news
Hello ladies. .how is everyone?
Well my hubby is brilliant around the house since i had this cancer thing apart from two things …changing a duvet cover and ironing. …
Today I’m sat at the dining table facing a huge pile of ironing …he said " be careful and don’t push yourself. …just do half of it " …
You can always get up a bit earlier tomorrow and do the other half ! Bless him.
Hugs xxx
Ironing, whats that? I’m uncivilised.
Had onc appt today. Scans to follow but had a wonderful surprise, they’ve got a secondary breast care nurse now. Had long moaned about the gulf between primary and secondary care. She might even be starting a support group. No wait to see onc either. What will they think of next! (Once waited 2 hours)
Better set the alarm click Carolyn.
Bon.
I pushed myself and finished the ironing so now I get a lay on tomorrow! !
Yes, it’s strange but I no longer do ironing… maybe I’m a
slut! But himself used to do all his own…but recently told me he is now bored with it!
Well I’m sure I used to when working, but often used to hang stuff on an airier in the airing cupboard, or put some in the tumble.d. Love and hugs to allxxx
mo8jan??
Great you have a secondary breast nurse mines a great support. Only bad thing about nice weather line drying means can’t get away without ironing as much ?
There is a secondary breast cancer nurse at my hospital. I’m glad other people are getting them too as it’s helpful x
