I had my mastectomy 7 years ago. The best advice I can give is not to google- I found it just made me even more stressed. The waiting is so very difficult but I found I couldn’t cope with work until I had my surgery. Be kind to yourself and just do what you need to do on any given day. Some days are better than others. I didn’t feel like talking to anybody about it, I hid in my house and tried to distract myself by reading a book. Everybody has their own way.
Wishing you all the very best :heartpulse:

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Xx

Yes Google is the worst, so I’m staying away from it as best I can.

I’ve found that my biopsy results are already in (less than a week) so I’m having my appointment with the consultant on 2nd July. So I’m glad I don’t have to wait until 9th July now. I’m hoping that the speed of the results is a positive and not a reason to be more concerned xx

Hope everything went as well as it could have at your appointment x

Good luck for your 2nd July appt, that’s good news you have less waiting and you will be updated from the team. All the best x

Appt didn’t happen. They phoned and said I need another MRI on Mon !

Sorry to hear this smak, my appointment for the 2nd has also been cancelled, my biopsy was inadequate as I bled a lot at the biopsy. So they need to wait a couple more weeks for the bruising to go down before they can do another one. I asked if I could have an MRI while I wait and they’ve said yes. So realistically I’m looking at another 4 weeks before I find out anything.

Sorry to hear about it.I can understand your your situation as I have gone through a similar situation before.I am having my 2/14 chemo cycle on 2nd July.In my case,on the whole,I have undergone 6 chemo,4 surgeries and undergoing 14 chemo cycle.
Music, meditation helped me to some level.I am managing all by myself with a few friends helping around me.I believe in prayers which keeps me going.Keep going.Things will be fine someday.

Sending all my thoughts to you. I have kept my forensic (!) research to the Breast Cancer Now website (ordered a load of their excellent leaflets to educate myself!) and a few other cancer specific charities/research organisations.

It is the hardest waiting, I try not to read too much about the different types as I panic myself with trying to second guess what type I’ve got.

I hope the MRI goes well, and you get your results soon. Xx

It sounds like you’ve been through an awful lot. I’m sorry to hear this. Hope the chemo goes well on the 2nd.

Having some good friends to talk too I’ve found helps, (even though I’ve only told one!) x
