Hi Delly,
Thank you - I am quite happy at the mo with the way it is all going. My recon was silicon AND had enough skin to have a ‘bud’ created to mimic a nipple! Yay! I had an oncoplasi specialist. However, sorry, I live in the South East, near Eastbourne/Brighton. My recon may have to be reworked, should it be affected by the rads later this year. Path results were not expected to be what they were, so initially rads not thought as necessary. But for me, still better this way - have no issues having to revisit this, in due course.

Hi again SueHS,
Sounds good. Sorry for your results now requiring rads and hope they don’t affect your recon.That’s a lovely part of the country you live. Had a walking week based from Eastbourne a few years ago. Yes, did the Seven Sisters and loved the Southdowns.
azel and Madhetter - Glad to hear you’re both doing ok

Hi
Just back from getting my MRI results.
I am in total shock, feel sick, head spinning From being told it’s a small early cancer , lumpectomy and radiotherapy to … its now much bigger , hormone positive and her2 + . Probably masectomy and definitely chemotherapy. Don’t know what order yet.
I have to go back for another core biopsy tomorrow morning as something shown on MRI on other breast to now be checked also. Then another week till results.
Told to now cancel my holiday in July.
I am terrified it’s spread. Doctor said they do not check if it’s spread as 95% of breast cancers stay in the breast.
Don’t know how to tell my teenage kids.
Can’t move.
Hi Vintage,
So sorry to hear your news. It seems a lot of us are getting bad news re: results at the moment. I get mine tomorrow and expect to be joining the gang.
My surgeon told me after surgery that I would probably need chemo. Like you, and many others, was told small lump, surgery and rads but she obviously saw something nasty during my surgery to say that. I’ll get it confirmed tomorrow. Probably HER2+ and spread to lymph nodes.
Thinking of you. Thank goodness for this forum where at least we can moan (quite rightly) and let off some steam and support each other during the tough times ahead of us.
Take care.
Hazel. xx
Vintage - Jeez. I can remember that SHOCK and head spinning feeling. HELL, do I feel for you right now. What an absolute effin awful turn of events for you. Bad enough for your first boob results, even worse that there “May” be possibilities in your 2nd !!
Are you on your own in this?? Or do you have partner?? Got that you have kids.
When you say "Doctor says they don’t check, as 95% STAY in the breast ". Is that your oncology DOCTOR or you’re own GP?? If it’s your GP . . . .well.
PLeeeeease keep us (ME) updated and in touch with how you are and your results darlin. Don’t know what to say, cept please keep fighting and kicking. There are plenty of us out here who’ve survived and seen it through so far.
Sorry, I’m not ignoring the rest of you.
Loadsa love to ALL of you

Hi to everyone
I’ve come on mainly to apologise for the “expletives” in my 26 05 message. Sorry - I get a bit carried away and angry at this gawd awful disease. Need to keep myself in check and use “flip” instead of reference to the other F word !!
Did you get your bracelet sorted Borobabe?
Hope you are all coping with your ops and treatments
Love to you all

Hey Delly
Not at all, it was a really lovely message. ?
I only just read your reply again a few days ago and seen l had not replyed.
Things were tough going through all the scans and biopsy and waiting on results. So think I moved away from the fourm for awhile.
Had a MX no recon and had 3rd chemo yesterday fec-t herceptin. Then rads and 10 years of tamoxifen I think.
I have never really got a definite answer on the area that came up on other boob. They were going to do a guided mri biopsy at one point and I would have had to travel to Aberdeen for this. But when I went back to see my surgen afew weeks later he now said he was not concerned as it looked very different to what shown on the other cancer side.
It still plays on my mind though. And I will bring it back up after chemo finished. I also have dence tissue and lots of cysts on that side which worries me when I feel the lumps and bumps. Just don’t trust my body any more.
Thanks again for your support
And I hope you are well
