Oh and twiglets and mini cheddars, we are doing research Amanda on the positive impact of these things on both breast cancer and side effects from the cancer drugs …
Yes ,Turkish delight is in the trial !I think I’d better get some ASAP …
Hi Amanda , ER+ and HER - was my diagnosis which i was told was a good thing, Rads, Tamoxifen but no Chemo and yes plenty of Diazipam in the early days ! Xx
Im not eating Turkish Delight or Twiglets and dont even get me started on Cheese and onion crisps …blughhhhhhhh ???
You will def get prescribed one of those drugs Amanda, Tamoxifen seems a little kinder re side effects from the conversations I have had.But get next stage out of the way before you think about that.
You can indulge after wedding Jo!!!
Good luck to anyone with kids getting exam results tomorrow .
Oops I forgot about that Jill 
I’ve had green and blacks tonight and twiglets xxx
I’m not even on these tablets till next year but I’m enjoying trying it all out I can’t do Turkish delight though! Id have to go with the sprouts over that
Noooooooo!!! Me no likey they are all gross!! ???
Going for Turkish Delight later.Im sure it will help my painful joints!!!Not something I can eat a lot of though.
I’m just trying to work out how to post too. I did try last night but can’t seem to find it now! Xx
Will give it another go. Just wanting support really. Was diagnosed yesterday with invasive ductal breast cancer. It also showed up in lymph nodes too. I’m 37 with two small children so it all seems so much to take in. They are planning a mastectomy and node removal followed by some strong chemo and then radio after that. What I’m most concerned about now is the bone and body scan they want to do. This scares me silly as I feel so let down by my so called healthy body!! I’m worried sick it’s going to uncover more bad news. Please someone reassure me I’m just thinking too much into it xxx
Hi Lisa,
My wife is the same age and was diagnosed with the same thing this week
Barry
Hi Lisa, welcome.It really is so much to take in at first isn’t i,t so overwhelming and like learning another language too.You can’t possibly take in all they tell you when you are in shock .I didn’t have to have scan,but there are ladies talking here who have and I’m sure they will fill you in and answer your questions when they check in later.You will have been given the number of a named Breast cancer nurse who you can ring and ask any questions you have about your treatment too.Jill
They can get some indication from biopsy and ultrasound about whether it has spread to your nodes but don’t know for sure until they remove them and test them.They remove the cancer and try to get a clear area of non cancerous cells around it if they manage that you won’t need a mastectomy.
Sorry to hear about your wife Barry. Do you have any children? What is her treatment? X
No Children. Op on Tuesday, lumpectomy and all nodes being removed. Then take it from there.
Hi Lisa so sorry you have had to join us. You poor thing they told you everything at once and I’m not surprised that you are all over the place. I know it’s easier said than done but take one day at a time. When they gave you your diagnosis there should have been a breast care nurse at your appointment? Also now I know about this I wouldn’t second guess your lymph nodes as I had a biopsy on mine and it came back clear which was not the case once I had surgery they can only really tell through surgery mainly. Go and see your gp and get some tablets to keep you calm. It really does help. We are all here to help you through xxxxxxxx
Well it was my breast nurse that told me all this yesterday as consultant could not see me till Monday and we are due to fly to Ibiza Sunday which we have since decided to cancel. I can’t face thinking about a holiday!! I’m going over to see a different consultant today at 4.30 today at a different hospital as I’m wanting to transfer to one which is better known for its breast cancer care. It’s all just so much to take in!!! I just worry that it must be an extreme case if they want to do a mastectomy so soon and strong chemo. Please someone reasure me!! Xxx
