Thank you so much , what a lively message. Im feeling so positive as thats the person i am, i have to do this journey and i will do it. Sending love x❤️
How did you get on thursday xx
Hi Jules
Unfortunately it was bad news for me and have been advised it’s probably bc. Had biopsies after the ultrasound picked up the lump I’d found plus two smaller ones.
Nothing showing at the time in my armpit via ultrasound.
I’ll find out next steps next Friday. I’ve been told it’s treatable but have no further details

Hey @chloeel85 you’re in the absolute worst bit. The land of unknowns. Nothing will be as bad as this stage. I didn’t believe a nurse when she told me that. I thought “How can anything ever be okay ever again?” She was correct though.
We live by “Remember the 31st of January”. The day I had my full body CT scan. I already knew I had BC and it was in my nodes so the only thing that mattered was “Please don’t let it have spread!” The wait and journey made me grateful to ‘only’ have breast cancer when the CT came back clear.
If ever I’m feeling crap, I remember the relief that day and it helps. Don’t get me wrong, chemo is a bastard and I’ve had more pity parties through that then I ever imagined and the mastectomy was hard (although weirdly the easiest bit of all of it) and radio will be hard too but this stage will always be easier than those first few weeks which is the definition of hell.
I hope you get your biopsies back soon and the HER2 doesn’t take too long (as that’s often the one that holds it up!). Understand the different types of BC’s and go armed with questions.
Think about your vaccinations now in case you do need chemo because surgeons don’t think about oncology things and then it’s too late once you meet the oncologist!
Be super super kind to yourself. Beyond kind! Xxx

Well hospital just rang to cancel my appointment today so a bit deflated. Biopsy results not back yet so go next thursday now, fingers crossed x
Hi chloe how did you get on xx:heart:
This is about the hardest time for you, Jules, but I am glad you are feeling positive. You will find a great team there to support you the who way right from surgery through treatment and out the other side. It is like coming down from the mountain and walking through a valley that is dark but you have to trust those looking after you and pray as you take one day at a time and before you realise it you are coming out the other side victorious and the sun begins to shine again. Just rest as much as you can and don’t push yourself. Try and stay positive but you will have pity party days - we all do - but get up and move on. Don’t dwell on those. Have your tears - they cleanse but also have your laughs as they lighten your heart and mood.
Love to you dear. You will get through this and be an encouragement to others.

Had results today. Estrogen positive, invasive ductal carcinoma, stage 2/3 grade 3 spread to lymph nodes. Waiting for HER2 results i could have lumpectomy or mastectomy so gonna get mastectomy lymph node removal 5 affected then chemotherapy. If her2 results come back positive its chemo first. Still feeling positive surgery booked for 22 july x

Hi @julesjp ive been thinking of you lately and luckily came across this message so i thought I’d give you a little wave 
I’m so sorry to hear of your diagnosis but also “happy” to say (if happy is the word) that is the same as my diagnosis. I’m just over half way through my treatment (chemo first and then surgery in 12 weeks) and there is no sign of the tumour. I’ve had a complete pathological response and I’m feeling great. The chemo has been working fantastically. I have no doubt you will have the same response and absolutely smash this! You’ll be on the road to recovery in no time. I’m sure you have already been told many times that this cancer is the most common and also the most easily treatable in breast cancer. Wishing you all the luck with it and sending you all the positive vibes

Also found out that the mammogram i had 7 months which i was told was clear something small showed up on it and wasnt acted on as they didnt think it was cancer that actually took me aback x

@julesjp that would upset me too. You have every right to feel angry about that. I would store it in my arsenal for later and mention it at every scan so that they know someone has screwed up before and take extra care in future! Don’t be afraid to throw your weight around regarding your care x
