I see praying it goes fast for us all! I’ve had my oncology app moved forewarn to the 5th so I will know exactly what treatment I will have x
Hi ana thankyou for your reply that brings me some comfort they have told me no longer are involved I just have a 6cm with calcifications around it in total size 9cm not entirely sure what that means but they’ve said based on size will be mastectomy so I’m advocating for a double with recon if option is available xx

Hi - such great news, so pleased. Best wishes with the surgery & your journey. I had a single mastectomy & decided to “go flat”. It’s working for me 
. Love the freedom & the asymmetry goes unnoticed. The surgery has proved to be the easiest part of the treatment. The community is always here. xx

Thankyou and same to you! Think I’m still in the denial stage because I just keep tellin myself I’m fine and just having a boob job 
think reality will set in once I start treatment x
That seems like ages I’m hoping it will be the week after for me but who knows. And yeah I’m trying to grasp being useless once my chemo starts I’m so eager to just get on with it now it’s been a month since diagnosis on Thursday been the longest but quickest month of my life!

Yes its all so much at the beginning. I had been referred for a mammogram i never had a lump had changes tonmy nipple and a ropey feeling. I had been going to the doctors for about a year and a half about it at first. So when i went on the 10th Oct for my first appointment i never thought i was going to be going through all this. When i went down on the 10th they done a mammogram then straight in for ultrasound and biopsies. Then had to wait til the 28th for my results, i had been told it looked like dcis but then when i got my results there was an invasive area so then i was looking at chemotherapy. I was still waiting on an mri results to check the size of the area so that was a week of more anxiety, and then got a ct scan just to make sure it hadnt spread.
So got all tbe results back and they were happy to go with the plan of neo adjuvant chemotherapy to shrink it then surgery.
Aw hopefully then you will get your start date soon 🩷 it will all happen quickly x
Yes im triple positive +++ ,
