Well after cancelling my mums appointment last Friday tomorrow we should finally know what we are dealing with. She has had needle biopsy and they said she had cancerous cells in the fluid around the lump and that’s all we’ve been told (that was 3 weeks ago) since then she had sample biopsy, node biopsy and ct scan.
What worries me is that so many posts on here say the doctors given them plans on what’s likely to happen as they’ve bin being tested but mums had nothing just the tests and no feedback. This puts me more on edge for tomorrow, she just wants to get treatment started but even the lady doing the ct scan was shocked mum hadn’t had a date for surgery!!! Fearful is an understatement
Hi fergal_jay
It might be helpful to give our helpline a call to talk things over. They’ll be able to offer you some practical information and emotional support. They’re open until 5.00pm today. (9-5 weekdays and 10-2 on Saturdays). The number is 0808 800 6000
Very best wishes

Hi honey, the waiting is really torturous. No point in saying try to stop fretting cos we all are. It could be your specialist likes to have all the facts before they say anything. Your mum has had all the right tests and this process takes its own sweet time, but it keeps you moving forward…even at snail pace.
Sucks big time. Tomorrow will be such a relief for you both. Waiting for mine on monday.
Xxxx hugs to you and your mum thinking of you both.
I wouldn’t be too concerned that they haven’t given you treatment plan yet. They’ll have one in ace already. Although my mum has a treatment plan in place, she is yet to have a CT scan (that’s tomorrow) so it seems like yours did all of that first. We both posted on here around the same time and seem to be at a similar stage. My mums chemo is to start a week on Monday - they wanted ct and mri first so you will not have the CT delay. It may be that your mum begins with chemo first.
Hope it all goes as well as it can tomorrow. Xx
Ace should say place.
Yeah I overthinking daisy, I worry they did ct scan first because they think it’s spread. Oh well in 3 hours we will know. Really hoping for good (well the best of the bad) news!! Mum has been really strong up until last night her fear is the size of it means it’s really bad. Hope it’s gonna be ok
Well just had results it’s grade 3 and they’ve also found it in her liver although her nodes came back clear. Chemo starting asap then a ct scan to see how it’s responding
