Hi
I have already had a WLE and SNB. I am waiting for a re-excision. They had got all the tumour out, but the margin on one side was not wide enough. I was diagnosed with IDC with a 1.8 cm tumour, grade 3. Fortunately no node involvement . Initially I was told I would have chemo ,radiotherapy, anti hormone therapy. However they now say they have sent off for a test to a the Royal Marsden hospital to see if chemo would be of benefit to me. I am a little worried about this, as I hate waiting for test results and part of me wants everything thrown at the breast cancer and yet another part does not want the chemotherapy! If I am to have chemo it will probably start in August once my re-excision has healed. I have been using the site for support.

Hi Kathy, I to am new on here and have found all the emotional support, kindness and advice really helpfull. I had my op last Tuesday and i am starting to feel a bit better today. (My lump was adhered to my nipple, so lost nipple and had reconstruction at same time) From ultrasound, mammogram and core biopsy they have told me my lump was 9mm and possible grade 1/2 e rec and 2 s/n taken but I won’t no for sure until Friday (26th) when I get results, terrified! I just hope results come back as I just said! Then radiotherapy and hormones? I totally understand how you feel about wanting to throw everything at this horrible disease and am also terrified that my results will be different and I will need chemo! Also sorry you have to go for re-excision, something else I don’t want. I hope your result Is a positive one for you and they say you don’t need chemo! Somehow I find strength knowing that if you can all get through this then so can I? sending you lots of happy thoughts and a little bit of my courage, only a bit mind, I will need some Friday, lol. keep intouch, it’s just nice to chat and compare things. Take care of yourself, love and hugs Sarah X
Hi Sarah
Thanks for replying Sarah . You have my very best wishes for your results tomorrow. The two week wait for results had me nearly climbing the walls! Once you get your results tomorrow you will feel a lot more in control. I have a 9am appt at the hospital so I better go get ready. I will post again tonight. Try to keep busy today.
Love and hugs Kathyx
Me toooo! Only mine is nice appointment at the haven for holistic treatment! Thinking of you today, love Sarah x
Hi Kathy, hope all went well for you today? I have been thinking about you and sending happy thoughts, love Sarah xxxxxxxxx
Hi Sarah,
Went out for dinner with some friends straight after work. I didn’t get my test result today, just a Post op from my first WLE , followed by brief pre-op for my re-exicision. Tried pressing them for an exact date for my re excision op, nothing. It’s fairly standard practice not to list you for surgery until you have a pre op at my local hospital. Later on I rang the consultant’s secretary and she was lovely and said she would get back to me in the morning after she has spoken to surgery listings. You will be in my thoughts tonight and tomorrow Sarah. You will soon be back in the control seat. Let me know how you get on and wishing you all the very best for tomorrow my lovely . Kathy x
