Hi @dhmb - so pleased for you, that’s so good. It’s the worry of the unknown always. As you say you still have a lot to get through but knowing what it is helps so much. Similarly I had a CT to check there was nothing else - no other cancerous areas were found (thankfully!!) but there was a gallbladder polyp I had an Ultrasound for and that just needs to be monitored. That’s the thing though - scans show up things we’d never have known about! Are you having the op first then chemo? Wishing you all the best 
@anne3 that is such good news!!! Over the moon☺️ and yeah that is so true indeed, things we would never find out, and it also sets a baseline for the future. I’m not worried about the shadow in my spine, I’ll deal with that if and when needed, simple as that.
The order depends on results we are still waiting for, going to see the oncologist today so he can make an assessment but only after the results are known will he make a decision with the surgeon.
Random question: why do we have 2 ears and shoulders? So we can lend one when needed 
Have a great day xx

Hi again - yes definitely need those ears and shoulders at the moment! My appt with the surgeon was as I imagined although I was shocked that 13 of the 19 lymph nodes were cancerous (how on earth did that happen?!). So it’s chemo, radiotherapy then hormone treatment. Feels like a long slog! and so unreal. I feel like shouting aaaaaaaarrrgghhh! Anyhow, onward and upward! We’re lucky to have this forum

Hi @anne3, it is a lot to take in and this is one rollercoaster no one asked to be on: one moment you are happy because you have good news and the next you’re smacked with possibilities that aren’t nice that may or may not happen but in the mean time your mind is racing and everything becomes so much more overwhelming… however… it’s the shock of it, it will sink in, you wrap your head around the new info and you carry on fighting. One day at a time, one thing at a time… easier said then done but possible I’m learning. AND if you need a screaming bud, count me in.

Hi @dhmb yes I’ll get my head round it and take it all step by step I guess. You really don’t know what’s round the corner!
Smiling at the thought of having a screaming buddy!
