WLE and sentinal node biopsy 29 August. Very worried about what they will find and what the future holds. Core biopsy results invasive cancer.
Bless you Anitaste, everyone on here knows just how you are feeling, so you have come to the best place for support. We have all walked in your shoes and are here to help each other 
I had WLE in June with 2|20 lymph nodes positive. 2 tumours in same breast grade 1 and grade 3 invasive and er positive.
It will be a while before you can think of anything else and the op itself brings a flood of emotions throughout the healing and waiting for appointments but hang in there lovely!! let us help you get through it .
Anytime you have any questions or just want to share how you are feeling , pop on-line and have a chat to myself and all the lovely ladies on here. We are all at different stages , so the forum is a great source of info.
29th August , I will be having a mole removed from my leg , minor in comparision but I will be thinking of you .
I found keeping busy to the run up to op ,helped take my mind off it a little.
Big Hug

Hi Anita, your exactly where I was a couple of months ago, not a good place to be and my heart goes out to you , you will have probably read over and over here that the waiting for a treatment plan is the very worst place to be, all very true, you know a little and imagination runs riot. There will be a plan and you will get through this, no point anyone telling you not to worry , they might as well tell you not to blink, but the facts are it is treatable and once the surgery is over , things will move pretty fast, nobody at the moment can tell you if it will be chemo, rads or a combination of both which is what I’m having, but it will be the right plan for you, I was floored by the dx and like everyone else here know exactly how your feeling, and all I can tell you is it will get better once treatment is underway, ask questions and read the posts of those a month or so in front of you , sending you big hugs and hoping your surgery goes smoothly Lynda xx
Hi Anitaste, know just how you feel. I went to Gp with lump in breast on 17th May, went through all the tests etc, then went on pre booked holiday for 2 weeks, came back 3rd July, surgery on 5th July. Follow up on 18th July, then told I need chemo, radio and hercptin. Reeling from horror an shock for a few days but starting chemo tomorrow, nervous but we can beat this. Take all the support you can from wherever you can, try nt to veer think things, just be yourself. You need the care now, it’s there’s turn to support and care for you, let them do it as you have enough on your plate. Take care, keep us posted with how you get on, we’re all here for each other.

Hi
I had my diagnosis over two years ago. At the time I wished I could close my eyes and wake up a few years down the line just to see if what the doctors were saying was true - ie that I would get through this and life would return to normal. Well that is where I am at now. If you had told me then that I would feel as good as I do today and that I would once more whittle and worry about silly inconsequential things I would not have believed it. It does take time but you will get there too. The turning point for me was being referred to a Hospice that specialises in helping people to live with and after Cancer and I would urge you to look around for a similar facility near to you. Good luck with everything and I will look out for a post from you in two years time!
Hi I was diagnosed in October last year and had surgery and radiotherapy and Letrozole, I think because of my profession people expect me to know more and cope well. I have questions?? think this may be the place…I dont even understand the abbreviations??

Hi Alljoy , sometimes it’s just so much easier to share our fears and questions with strangers tho, isn’t it - we don’t need to protect each other on here in the same way as we do with our nearest and dearest!
