I had a wle for dcis in July, low-intermediate grade, clear margins achieved. No rad, no meds due to clot history. I’ve been experiencing armpit and breast sensations i can only describe like being similar to a Chinese burn since a bit before my diagnosis. At the initial ultrasound in May they said it all looked clear. Symptoms have persisted (it’s not at the site of the dcis) so they have given me an appointment tomorrow morning to check.
I’ve been distracted this week with work and getting all emotional with Sara Cox and her amazing children in need challenge, but I’m now starting to worry.
I’m not sure what I’m asking for, just maybe positive thoughts that it is nothing sinister.
Hi @tuttifrutti I will send you some positive thoughts and some big squeezy cuddles
Im very early in my bc journey, I still dont have a treatment plan so I cant offer you any advice or help with the symptoms you are feeling but be proud of yourself that you arent ignoring them. Finding these things the first time is terrifying, it makes me never want to go looking for something ever again haha but that is not the right attitude. Finding things and getting things checked is what keeps us alive and kicking.
Try to keep in mind that it could be nothing serious at all and that usually when we are anxious we can make those sensations stronger.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Completely agree, it would be could be very tempting to ignore signs and unusual things. I read your own post so i do hope you get a nice clear treatment plan soon. For info i had to have a second set of Biopsies on another area, again the wait is like torture, but they were satisfied that second spot was all ok, so i hope yours will be too. Xxx
Thank you so much. They actually called me today and moved my appointment from the 27th to this Monday. The bc nurse said they have the results (although they weren’t infront of her but she didnt want to give them to me over the phone anyway) but said they didnt want me waiting any longer than I have and the likely hood is they want to get me into surgery asap.
Ordinarily a call like that would have made me panic but ive reached the stage now where I just want to get things moving.
Got my fingers and toes crossed all day every day for each of us
That’s it, we have to keep walking and each step moves us forward. You become so highly sensitive to choice and tone of words from the health care team, it can all be as straightforward as scheduling gaps, results coming back sooner, staff availability. Even with my dcis they said they didn’t like to hang around and want surgery done quickly. Xx
