Diagnosed last week and MRI today

I’m still waiting!!!

These Onco results are taking forever.
I need to know to move on, but I’m scared to know in case it’s chemo :grimacing:

Took my boob to see the surgeon today as a hard lump still hasn’t disappeared.
It’s a Haematoma and it’s very bruised, but need to give it time and be patient….im
not good at that bit :joy:

Had a Bupa counselling session, it does feel good to have a little rant.

Hope you are all ok-ish xxxx

Still in a holding pattern here too. It’s agony!

Another three weeks or so until I see the oncologist and get the score. Can’t plan anything until I know what treatment I’ll be getting.

Sorry to hear about the haematoma @positivepants1 That’s rubbish. All healing ok here, but I have some cording that I’m having physio for.

I’ve my last counselling of the 6 with Macmillan tomorrow. I’m not sure what I’ll do without my weekly prep talk. Might have to shell out for some more once I get the treatment plan. Argh!

Thinking about you for tomorrow @chillout365 Let us know!

Thank you, not sure where you are but do you have a local cancer support centre where you could possibly get some counselling. We have a centre that has all sorts of treatments and support you can use, I’m going to a look good feel better one on Thursday. I can also have 6 beauty treatments and my husband can have 3 I think with no charge, might get my nails done at some point. I come under Bassetlaw & Doncaster health trust so will be having my treatments in Sheffield.

We will all get there with the support of each other too

Just had a call from the breast nurse……
Onco results came back and were discussed in a meeting this morning.
I was so relieved to hear I scored 16 and will not need Chemotherapy but will have Radiation and hormone treatment.

I will receive an appointment within 3 weeks for radiation planning at the Norfolk & Norwich.
As I have a history of gynaecology issues I will need to wait for confirmation of which hormone drugs I will have.

I’m going to have a large one tonight :wine_glass:
to celebrate the fact I’m another step closer….

Hi chillout365
I had my radiotherapy in Sheffield earlier this month (WP hospital), and they were excellent. I was afraid as I didn’t know what to expect but the staff were really supportive throughout.
My husband drove me, although we do have access to Firefly plus WP have free transport if it’s required. Parking is quite limited I thought , so I’d say to allow yourself time to find a space when you go. The complementary therapies are a bonus ( my friend had acupuncture and loved it :blush:).
I’m loving reading the support, great advice and little giggles guys, it’s a huge thing knowing we’re all there for each other and I wish everyone all the best xx

Fantastic news! So happy for you :two_hearts:

Excellent news! That’s so great :smiling_face::heart_eyes:

Have you been given a date to get your results?

How are you doing in yourself, I went to a look good to feel better workshop this morning, with ladies at varying stages of treatments.

Sending hugs

Hi

Yes I will be going to Weston park in Sheffield, think it takes nearly an hour from where I am, mainly due to country roads and traffic.

Thanks for the advice about parking, just waiting for my planning appointment to come through.

Take care

Hi @chillout365

At my results appointment on 8th January I was told they’d have the results of the Oncotype DX in two weeks from then but that I would have to wait until I see the oncologist for them. That was likely to be 5-6 weeks.

I still haven’t received a date for that appointment. To me this seems unnecessarily cruel.

I phoned the breast care nurse and she said they aren’t allowed to tell me beforehand just in case the score isn’t indicative of the treatment I will have to have, even if below 25.

Seemingly where I am operates differently to everywhere else I’ve read about on this forum. I could cry, but am refusing to right now as it will make no difference. This whole process has been a waiting game for me. I’m not the most patient person at the best of times, so this is a big learning curve for me.

However, while I wait I am undergoing additional testing for one of the extra findings the CT threw up. I was told these weren’t cancer, but I have very little trust at this point.

I had an ultrasound of my thyroid due a cyst the CT saw last week. I was hoping they’d say it was nothing, but no, they are doing a fine needle aspiration of that next Friday (on the 2 week wait cancer thing) which I’m quietly dreading. Surely I will get some good news at some point?

Tomorrow I have an ultrasound on my shin for a lump I found. Hoping it is nothing, but of course I am paranoid. I was hoping the thyroid cyst was nothing, but they are doing more on that, so…

Still awaiting an appointment for the 4mm nodule they found on my lung (on the other side to the BC).

Writing all this down makes me wonder how I am still functioning!

Please keep everything crossed for me my wonderful BC friends :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

We all have everything crossed for you and know to some degree how you are feeling. I have a lesion on my nose saw the dr last August, in fact it was the same day as my mammogram, was referred for a dermatologist phone call appointment, didn’t get that till December, the nurse was horrified I’d waited that long so pushed it through as an urgent, my brain went into overdrive then that it had already spread as it was in at least two nodes at that point, that came back as being some sort of wart under the skin and then the rest of the nodes came back clear. Took me four months to start getting some positive news. As you know I’m now back on the waiting train for next appointment.

Sending you lots of good wishes & hugs
Jackie
