I too am another awaiting scan results, due tomorrow. I feel that whilst family and friends try so hard to keep me positive it is the posts on this site that really do it. I don’t post much but do read at least once a day and it is the way others deal with this cr@@@y disease that keeps me going. I don’t know if i’ve managed to express myself properly but thanks to everyone who writes here.
Love to all
Lesley

Good Luck Lesley…I hope all goes well and you have good results…xx
Hi Lesley - I shall be thinkin about you too. I do hope you get the best possible news
very best wishes
I know exactly how you feel - I get my PET scan results on Wednesday and keep playing the different scenarios over and over in my head as my Onc gives me the news. Here’s hoping its good for both of us.

Hi Lesley
I hope that you get some good results. I know wot it is like with family and friends trying to keep us positive, but no one really understands what we are going through.
I dont come on the forums as much as I did, but like you read most days.
Heather hope you get a good scan result too.
Take care all

Hi Lesley (and Heather)
Good luck with scan results. It must be that time of the year as I had my 6 monthly CT scan last week and now have to wait a couple more for the results, yikes! I always feel that I can live my life fairly ordinarily in between scans but they are the things that determine what the next stage or 6 months of your life will be - no wonder we all get so nervous. As you have said this site is great for off loading any anxieties, concerns, questions which we really can’t expect our loved ones to understand or even want them to know about.

Good Luck Lesley and Heather, hope you get good results, scanxiety is such an awful feeling. I’m having a CT on Friday myself so know how you feel.

Well a mixed bag of results. Scan shows shadows on Liver considerably better, lymph and bones stable with a slight increase in size of lung mets albieght millimetres. What bothers me is that my right breast is hard and shrivelling up and looks like a walnut so the treatment is obviously not working on that and as its not considered to be life threatening they want to continue with the Tamoxifen as it appears to be working on the internal organs.
When I got my secondary diagnosis in June 08 I was straight away told there would be no mastectomy but in Aug this year I ws told it was a possiblity although as I now have lymphodema there could be problems with healing. Don’t feel very happy although after a 7 month gap since my last ct scan I was expecting worse.
Has anyone else had problems with their boob like this? (I had lumpectomy in 1998 and had no problems until last year).

Hi Lesley
Good news that things are in the main part stable for you though i completely understand how you feel about not being happy. I dont have direct experience with boob problems to share so hope you dont think im butting in with unhelpful advice - Have you had a good chat with your breast surgeon about the pros and cons of having a mastectomy? It sounds like maybe they havent given you enough info on the risks v. benefits and involved you enough in the decision. It could also be good to get your lymphodema nurse’s opinion as it might be possible to manage the risk from surgery with regular MLD massage and exercises (i’ve found both have had a really positive effect on my lymphodema). Sorry if im going over ground you’ve already covered but it sounds like your consultant needs to give you a clearer answer to help you feel happier about his/her decision on whether you should have the surgery.
I do hope once you’ve had time for the results to sink in that you allow yourself to feel a little bit happy about the good bits.
Take care
Heather.x
