D Day tomorrow - What questions should I ask?

Hi Denise,

Yes DX’d is diagnosed. Sorry I seemed to have picked up these abbreviations too. People type OH, I thought it meant Occupational Health but it appears to mean Husband, correct me if I am wrong anyone. LOL I think means lots of love.
Onc- oncologist BCN breast care nurse.

Good on you for picking me up, I always tell people at work to pick me up on the use of acronyms when I am providing a training session or contributing to a discussion.

Cheers
Carol

Hi Carol,
Well youv’e made me chuckle this morning, thanks for that,
and LOL to you

To many of the people on this site LOL means “laugh out loud” - even though we’ve all got this b***** disease we do still find the time!
Good luck for today
Best wishes

Hi Maddy,
I thought Carol was joking when saying it meant lots of love. Thats why I laughed (sorry Carol!)
Thanks for your wishes
Take Care x

Hi Denie,

Been in a meeting. Couldn’t tell you what is was about. My head is all over the place!!!

I have been thinking about you and all of the others who are in our situation today.
I think we are very lucky that we have access to the support of the wonderful ladies on this site.
I imagine some ladies either don’t know about it or have no access - god love them.

Good Luck Denie,

Hugs to all,
Dyzee x.

Hi again girls,

Well I learnt something today too. I thought about what was said and so I started a new thread - The language we use.
I thought perhaps we could jot all these acronyms down.

Cheers
Carol

Hi Everyone,
Good news!
Whatever it is its benign they are going to do more tests on the biopsy but have been told no signs of cancer and nothing to worry about, they just want to find out the nature of it. They will call me back next week.
I just want to thank you all so much for your incredible support, my heart goes out to all of you who are suffering from this awful disease.
My very best wishes to all of you
Love Denise xxx

Wonderful news - you feel much lighter now I guess.

Hi,
Yes I do but also feel for all those who haven’t had good news, its sad that so many people have to suffer.
I have just read your thread and not sure whether to congratulate you or not as you don’t seemed convinced that they are right. I’m sorry youv’e come from it still with doubt.
Best Wishes and take Care

Denise -

congratulations on your diagnosis - I’m pretty sure you must have attempted a few cartwheels and are singing with joy at the most inopportune moments - go for it girl !! The ‘feel good’ factor has kicked in for me after reading your news (or it may just be a ‘tropical moment’

There’s absolutely no need to feel guilty about being well. You are a success story. Enjoy !!!

Lots of love
