Just diagnosed and wanting to talk to people who understand

Hi Jill, it’s 20 past 2, he does afternoon results clinic :slight_smile: just holds the suspense a little bit longer xx

Jill, how has the boss visit gone? Xx

You sound like you want to sample everything the NHS has to offer Ange!!!You may as well get your money’s worth eh??

She’s coming at 3pm.

Well he said they would throw everything at it because of my age do I am gonna hold him to it :slight_smile: Lol!! Plus if I think everything it won’t be a shock :slight_smile: … See method in my madness :slight_smile: x

Thank you Jo ,I hope I won’t need it but I will have a look thanks.

Yes Ange,you will be disappointed now if you don’t get the full Monty!!In some ways throwing everything at is quite comforting.

I guess I may be worried if I don’t get one of radio/chemo as being a worrier I will worry about it coming back. Maybe I have read too much about grade 3, Her2+ positive cancer :frowning: . Let’s just see…,… All speculation by me, I may end up like spongebob and just have tamoxifen :slight_smile: xx

I’m guessing you don’t know it is HER positive yet?

How did it go with your boss Jill? Sounds like the place I used to work. Why do they only do afternoon appointments? I’m trying to get an appointment with the consultant as they wanted to see me after ct results. They said she is clinic this morning and they will get back to me and I felt like saying why don’t you ever offer me a morning appointment! They haven’t got back to me! Hopefully it will just be the tablets ange :slight_smile: keep busy in the morning xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Jill yea the grade 3 one is Er and Her2+. The grade 2 is Er+ but the Her2 status had not come in x

Hi Sarahd, my consultant does a clinic in the morning with all the tests then he does results in the afternoon and it’s only on Wednesdays. Good in a way to start with as Wednesday is my day off xx

There is much info to gather for them to make an individual treatment plan isn’t there.No point in torturing yourself Ange trying to second guess what they will say.

True Jill, but if I think the worse it could be miles better :). How did your visit go? X

Told boss I will work hard on universal cancer vaccine while I am off …to avoid unnecessary time off in future…Also said I am too busy to attend my. 8 week sickness review due to being at hospital every day for 3 weeks…said they should go ahead without me and let me know any helpful hints they could come up with to get me back to work sooner…

I have only been offered Tuesday Thursday and Friday afternoon appointments. Mainly a Thursday. I still don’t know the difference between the HER positive and negative? Both my consultant and oncologist are both foreign and they are lovely but sometimes when you have that information to take in it can be difficult. My mother in law comes with me and takes notes but sometimes she can’t understand either. And I’ve learnt not to google anything. Hope it all went well with your boss Jill xxxx

Good luck Ange x Jill how was work interview? X

Well that’s what I wanted to say…

Sounds like you put them in their place good for you:) xxxxxxx

What did you say ? :slight_smile: I’m sure we have all had those thoughts of what we want to say :slight_smile: xxxxxx
