OMG - Strudel, that’s fantastic news, I’ve been thinking about you all day.
I hope my results are as good as yours.
How are you going to celebrate?
I’m so pleased for you. 
So pleased to hear your news Strudel! I asked about the oncotype testing but was told I didn’t qualify - but not sure why not. Wonder if it’s because I’m over 50!
fabulous news, Strudel!
Think if you are post menopausal only offered Onco test on NHS if have you have 1-3 positive nodes and meet other criteria .I wasn’t offered it but friend with very similar diagnosis but 10 years younger was .
There is a section about the test on the main BCC site.
Great news Strudel ,have a little celebration and a good nights sleep!!!Hope they drained you again ,had to have mine done twice.
I’m ok ta…feeling better by the day still be in my pj’s and dressing gown …little boy been off school since Thursday but think I’m gonna take dog for a little walk tomorrow…got my oncology appt tomorrow at 4.45 so will update when I get back x
Strudel…fab news…missed your post xx
Oh Emma, if I could only wrap you in my arms & give you the biggest bear hug.
I’m getting more anxious as Thursday gets nearer, and I’ve realised I don’t want to leave the house. I want to stay here, nice & safe forever. I just don’t to want hear anymore results, I’m tired of it all.
But, like you, I will find my tough pants & go on Thursday & listen to them & trust that they will do their best for me.
Good luck for today - let us know how you get on. We will be waiting with hugs for you.
Jane, I need to hug you, mostly because you’re very brave going to the dentist - I hate going there.
I’m sorry about your Mum & it doesn’t matter if you got cross, she will love you no matter what. When my mum got cross with me, I knew it was because she was having a bad day dealing with her bc. The worst was when she was dying, she was nasty & I know that the doctors said this was normal (as they go through all different stages when they die) it breaks my heart that these were the last words my kind, loving Mum said to me.
You go and hug your Mum & no matter what, she will always love you.
I hope you have a better day today.
Hi Emma, I did wonder how you were feeling as I noticed you hadn’t been on this site for a few days … we all understand your anxiety and sometimes it’s so hard to even want to talk/think about what we are going through. My workplace kept asking me to call in for a brew with them and I went last Thursday (I’ve worked there 6 years) and when I got there I felt so anxious I thought I was going to faint … I told them that I didn’t want to talk about IT as it was making me anxious … I think they were quite shocked and didn’t know what to say … but I couldn’t stand the thought of sitting there going through it all yet again. I have my op on Thursday so as you can imagine, no sleep for me at the moment, I hate hospitals and if I could have the op on my dining table I would … lol … I feel safe at home … I hope you get some answers today that begin to make you feel better with what is going to happen etc …
Huge hugs and come back to speak to us later
xxxxx
Oh em67…sorry your feeling like this…to be fair I try not to think about it at all…seeing the oncologist this afternoon to see if chemo or just radiotherapy. .stay strong. .you can do this…I’m struggling to remember now what everyone has had or having done…sending huge hugs xx
Hi Strudel,
My results are on Thursday - getting a little bit nervous, I just don’t want to go back into hospital.
I’m healing really well, but I am stiffening up - Everything is starting to tighten. I am doing my exercises every day and my armpit starts hurting for no reason and then stops.
I just had the biggest bouquet of flowers delivered to my door from my MD and work collegues. I don’t want to sound ungrateful, they really are quite lovely, but now I have got to ring everyone and thank them, I just wanted to pretend this isn’t happening and carry on as normal - I’m being grumpy now.
How are you today Strudel?
Hi girls no news back from my results …They sent them to America for testing …she told me all the scenarios if radiotherapy 4 weeks worth 20 sessions and if chemo 4 months worth and a month of radiotherapy…got a holiday booked for july so she said wait and see what the results come back like…everything really positive up to now …was a stage 3 just so glad I managed to see the indent that day or I may never have noticed it
Just to recap my journey

Hahaha - this thread can get quite mad, you lot really make me laugh.
I’ve been doing the exercises 3 times a day, as I was lucky enough not to have a drain, but even still, I am getting stiffer as I am healing. I’m also doing the ones where you walk up the wall with your hands.
First time I slept in my bed last night and it was heaven
Emily, you are so funny. ???
Pam - no cancer, excellent news.
Hi how is everyone? I joined here yesterday. I’m nicki. 45. Live in East London near canary wharf. I was told that I have breast cancer at the breast clinic at Barts hospital last Thursday. I had a biopsy where they took 4 samples of tissue. My lump is the size of a walnut. I thought I was dealing with a cyst. For about 3/4 months before I found the lump in my right breast. I was suffering with tiredness it wasn’t anything like normal tiredness…this was exhaustion. I couldn’t think straight had foggy brain, aches and pains that went to one place then another in my muscles and body. I had terrible concentration and couldn’t muster the energy to do the simplist of things bath/cook/eat. I felt I’ll depressed drained and no matter how much I rested I was still exhausted. I had horrible pains in my back neck and lower back I had back spasms in the past also. I got one 3 weeks ago and I’m still in pain with it. After last Thursday and finding out I have breast cancer I was so worried that it could be secondary cancer. However that doesn’t seem to fit either. Before Thursday I Really thought I had chronic fatigue syndrome. I’ve been researching all day and I found on the UK cancer website there is a thing called cancer fatigue. I really identify with all of the symptoms and what this is saying. I had three lots of bloods for diabetes/thyroid/inflammatory and full blood count which all came back clear. I also had a stool test which was clear. This was all in November. Also the ultra scan on Thursday at barts was all clear under my arm pit I really feel I have cancer fatigue. Has anyone else had this? I am so drained and exhausted. Tired but wide awake etc. It’s not anxiety stress as I have had this most my life…feel like my whole body has shut down. Does anyone else have this? Or knows of cancer fatigue? Will it be hard to get my doctor to listen to me? I really hope they listen to me.
Sorry sending everyone a big hug and lots of love…???
Nicki - when is your next appointment?
Sallyann - how are you doing, only one more sleep. I’m going to be thinking about you all day tomorrow. Sending you big hugs. I sat looking at the clock last night, thinking this time last week I’d only just gone on the ward & here I am one week later watching crap on TV and feeling sore but ok.
