Well, thought I’d have to wait until Friday to get the results of my MRI back. BUT, husband just got home and admitted he looked my results up at work today (he’s a consultant neurosurgeon); very naughty of him, but pleased to report that MRI shows no further lumps lurking in either breast, and no signs of axillary lymphadenopathy! Very pleased to know I’ll only need a lumpectomy but won’t breath easy until I know there’s definitely no lymph node involvement. One more step forward…
Scottiedog - congratulations on your results! Your OH sounds a bit like mine; plays it down and acts like everything’s normal, which I guess is preferable to him being a gibbering wreck! Although, at times I wish he’d treat me a bit more like a princess, with everything I’m going through
Nervouswreck - Good luck with your wife’s results; just be there for her. Oh, and please don’t shed any tears over us; we’re not dying for goodness sake!!
hi Caro,
I cant believe you called yourself selfish,Im 20 yrs older than you and have all the same thoughts as you,cant imagine how Id feel if I had young kids. Accept all offers of help,dont be scared of the chemo
its only a couple of days per sessions when you feel crappy,it passes so quick,Im just wishing the days away till I feel normal again,watching my hair grow back is helping.Im not good at asking
medical questions but I sometimes think a little knowledge can be a
dangerous thing so I just take the doctors advice and so far Im
winning after 18wks chemo,mastectomy plus L.N.C.now on Femara and
starting rads.end of month,plus a bit of a cry most days and of course a little chocolate!!
Be good to yourself,you deserve a bit of indulgence
lots of love from Mags xxxxxxxx
I’ve just read through all your comments on this thread, and can’t believe what an inspirational bunch you all are!!
I’ve posted on a couple of other threads too so sorry if you’ve read this before. I’m due to get my full results and any treatment plan tomorrow at 11.35am. So far, radiotherapy, and possibly hormone treatment has been mentioned. I’m 38 and have a nine month old baby. I was diagnosed with BC after preliminary tests two weeks ago, and had my lumpectomy eight days ago.
I wanted to write individual messages to some of you, but have promptly forgot everyone’s names : (
Just feeling so mixed up and emotional tonight. Friends and family (and my baby) have been wonderful, but I really can’t believe what is happening - as it has happened so blooming fast.
Love and good luck to all of you,
Shenagh xx
P.S. Nervouswreck, God bless you and I hope your wife gets her results soon - well done you for posting, I think she is lucky to have you!
Ah She, i am going to get news on starting chemo tomorrow so am in similar boat. I have a 10mth old and a 2yr old so snap there too.
What a big bastard breast cancer is huh?
Good luck tomorrow! I am terrified and eaten my body weight in pizza so hopefully that may make me pass out soon!!
Hi Shenagh… good luck with your results tomorrow. Believe it or not you will very quickly get through your radiation treatment. things do seem to have happened so fast to you…so you are going to feel like you need to stop for breath and get things clear in your head. Just think in another few weeks…the active treatment will all be over with…assuming your results are clear…It feels like its all happening to someone else sometimes doesn’t it…but good vibes for tomorrow {{hugs}} all goes well.
just crossed sue…hope your chemo cycles are as good as you can hope them to be…its hard anyway…but especially with kiddies and little ones at that!!! good luck
Helenx
Caroline sorry still not managed to do picture yet
Jayney, feel a little up and down today still in shock i think and can’t seem to shift a headache i’ve had for ages. P*****of that everything is now getting delayed. Have CT scan tomorrow but no date for bone scan yet as apparently there is a shortage of the dye that is used so have no idea when anything will happen. So Evie, pixielou, scottiedog you will be months ahead of me now you lucky lot!!
