Just back from hospital after results of mx. Not that great news. Was told at outset I had two tumors 17mm and 15mm (ILC). Pathology says I had three 31mm, 17mm and 15mm. Ultrasound was clear but have been told that out of three nodes they removed one is positive . I am booked in for node clearance this Friday. My worst nightmare has become a reality. I am inconsolable and terrified about spread x x

I was the same after 5 out of 5 nodes that they removed tested positive! BUT…I had a bone scan and a CT scan and all were clear. I know it is difficult but don’t try to predict the outcome. I had full clearance when I had my mx and a total of 11 out of 12 nodes all had traces in them.

totally struggling right now. x

I know it’s hard but hang in there and just take one day at a time.

i also had one node positive, but the remaining 12 were negative when I eventually got the results.

Hi,

I too had one node positive out of initial 4 taken, then went on to have another 14 removed all of them negative.

I know its hard but please try and stay positive, it may not be as bad as you fear.

I have tried to stay positive but can’t help thinking the worst. My friends and family don’t know what to say to me as they are jsut as frightened as me. I am worried that I won"t see my wee 2 year old grow up. I still actually can’y quit believe this is happening. It just seems more bad news after more bad news x

I think that Janice has hit the nail on the head - when you are going through the initial tests to get all the necessary info about your cancer, it feels like everything is out of control and out of your hands and there’s nothing you can do about it. But as soon as those tests stop, you have the full picture of what you’re dealing with and the treatment plan kicks in, it really does get easier and you feel like you and your treatments are controlling the cancer, not the other way round.
Having said that, in my experience waiting for test results never gets any easier. It’s a horrible time for everyone. Just know that we’ve walked this path and are here for you.
Take care and good luck, Angelfalls xx

Hello Flower,

I’m sorry you have all this worry now. It’s really hard when things gather an impetus and you feel a bit helpless. You can’t help worrying about the what if’s, don’t apologise for being worried. You’re not being selfish or silly.

When you have a treatment plan in place things start to gather momentum in a good way. I found it such a relief to get things started.

Having said that we’re all different. People are good here, they don’t tend to throw judgements at you. Just hang in there and keep posting.

It does get a little addictive though!
