Results day today - find out what’s what this afternoon. Been awake since 3.30! Nervous but feeling positive.
Fingers crossed for others with review meeting coming up xo
Hope it’s all positive news xxx
Fingers and everything crossed for you xx
Got to get mine today today as well, so worried about it, been up most of night and dreaming the rest, woke up crying twice ? Hope all goes well for you and any others getting results today xx
Good luck ladies !!!
Best of luck ladies, whatever the news nothing is worse than the limbo your in right now! Xx
Thank you xx
Wishing I yous good luck ladies. Hopefully you won’t need it. Mine was yesterday. 5cm of invasive. 16cm of non invasive. (Good job I got checked out when I did) and 7 lymph nodes out of 28. CT scan next. Then 18 weeks of FEK-T, the. 3 weeks or radiotherapy. Then tamoxifen for ten years. What a list. ? X
To be honest it was more or less what I was expecting. They originally thought the invasive was 10 cm, so I suppose 5 is better. I’ve been told the lymph nodes isn’t too much to stress about as they’ve been doing their job picking up the rogue cells. Apparently there’s around a 5% chance it may if spread further so the odds are in my favour. I’m just trying to keep the CT anxiety at bay. I’m oestrogen positive and HER negative so I know now the tamoxifen will benefit me which is a relief.
Onwards and upwards. X
Ladies
good luck with your results today xxxx
Thanks Helena. At times like these where would we be if we didn’t look on the bright side. Xxx
Got my results. HER2 negative (yippeeee) as had been borderline. Tumour was bigger so 23 mm but she cleared all the margins. Thankfully I didn’t go for the partial reconstruct thingie just the straight forward lump out as if I had, I would have had to have mastectomy. Thankful that I listened to my gut instinct on that one.
i micromet on first node fbut she’d cleared out six nodes (she thought she’d only done three but pathologist said six). So no more clearance needed there.
happy with movement but got to keep an eye on boob scar.
so cancer all gone and radiotherapy for three weeks and hormone tabs for five years. Hopefully, that will be that.
hope everone else has had an equally happy results session and there were no unexpected surprises.
Hi all xxx
The doctor said they got clear margins and no nodes involved ? So I need to wait for oncologist appointment now I’ve to get radiotherapy and was given a letter for gp to prescribe Tamoxifen for 5 years I think he said. I’ve also to get yearly checks now I asked about the mammograms because my mammogram was clear so he said they would possibly have to scan or ultrasound as well. I feel like a weight has been lifted and although I’m obviously concerned about the prospect of radiotherapy I feel very lucky xxx
Thank you so much Helena, I havent got ahead of myself and tried to do what you all said when I first became a member of this forum and it’s really kept me sane! One step at a time … and that’s how I will continue forward slowly and try not to overthink. I don’t know much about the radiotherapy but I will now look at the threads regarding it and will post on progress etc and I hope to offer as much support as I can on here to other newly diagnosed members as without the help of you and others I’d had gone off the deep end on many occasions! I’m so grateful for this forum and all of its lovely helpful and caring members. Xxx
Fantastic news, Fee.
As Helena says, rads is fine - oddly, I quite enjoyed the experience!
Just bear in mind, that those having issues with side effects tend to post about tamoxifen, so I did find that reading the hormone treatment thread did increase my anxiety, leading me to overthink it.
As it turned out I’ve been fine on tamox & many of us are. So it’s just about taking it, seeing how you go & dealing with any side effect issues if they arise.

Thank you so much everyone for your lovely comments xxx hugs to all xxx
??? Fee. Looks like we will be going through radiotherapy together. I’ve had sloe gin and wine (not simultaneously) this evening and I don’t care. I am allowing myself a worry free evening. I’ve also told big boss that I’m not in next week. I owe it to my family to be completely well for our holiday.
Yes flyingarcher we will xxx and I will be here if you need a chat or to “compare notes” xx I’m just gonna take it a day at a time for now, the bcn looked at my swelling today and said it should just gradually reduce but oh my goodness it’s got bigger and very much more painful. I’ve taken more painkillers and I’m in bed I’ll have to see how it is in the morning and maybe go back. So not celebrations for me just yet but I will! Xx
Thank you Anniej, Lizzie, Helena, optimist, Ann-m and Patriciamay xxx also hugs to anyone I’ve missed out your comments are all so lovely and positive xxx
