I'm with you on this one ladies.. also awaiting mri and im onvinced everything they've told me so far is going to completely change and it's going to be a far worse outcome! My legs have been aching so much lately and I spoke to bcn today and actually told her I think I have bone cancer now. (Google helped me to diagnose myself of course) She said because of all the worry stress and how fast my minds working constantly it has been likened to running a marathon therefore I will feel all these aches and pains constantly ...

I've got to travel a bit queen bee half an hour drive but would be willing to give elsewhere of it meant I got in quicker. I'm the same I know I've got it so just want rid of it and treatment started as quick as possible now. I feel the same quality Alex they've already biopsied 3 areas and told me ill be losing the bottom half of breast regardless of these results. I'd rather have all of it off than half as at least I know they have then got it all. X ... View more

Hi queen bee I'm totally with you on this one was diagnosed on the 15th March. I'm 38 with 2 small girls ( I feel it a lie that younger people don't often get this) the amount I've heard of people in Their twenties and thirties is mad! I'm still awaiting more tests at the moment. I initially felt better after I was in clinic last week but now I feel I'm in limbo again awaiting more results. We can get through this. I'm here to.chat if u want xx ... View more

It's a total and utter nightmare all this waiting around... I've heard of they find more suspicious areas they will do yet more biopsies so another wait. I really don't see the point of more biopsies as they know his in the full bottom half of breast so I know I'll be having a masectomy anyway. Trying to stay strong for.my girls but finding it a real struggle at the minute. ... View more

Millie I think I'm still a little numb about it all at the minute it's only 8 days since I found out i havw cancer but I know am going to be absolutely terrified when the time comes. I hate ops and stuff they make me feel physically sick. I'm. Scheduled for a counselling session next week as really need to get all my worries out instead of bottling them up. Maybe this could benefit you too ? Alex sounds like you've had/having a great recovery I hope I follow in your footsteps. Do they always take nodes this hasn't been mentioned at all to me. Thanks for all the info such a good help to kind of know what to expect xx ... View more

Also how are you On the tamoxifen they said I'll either get that or hercipin I think they call it. I know everyone's different but have u had any bad side effects or anything as seem to be my boob twin ha x ... View more

That does pretty much same as me am praying hey don't find nothing else lurking on the mri. They seemed pretty confident that the ultrasound would have picked up anything in the lymph nodes. What was the pain like with masectomy I'm such a wimp wlth pain. I think I'll struggle more emotionally tho so happy they said they can reconstruct straight away. Is that it for your op as they said mine would be done over 2 or even 3ops but the majority done with the masectomy xx ... View more

Ah really Alex that is great news I think I spoke to you on my first post. Did u avoid radio and chemo? Did u Need an mri to. Am a little worried they may change treatment plans etc after that by trying to stay positive. My God I mean it's still a complete nightmare but kind of the best of a bad situation. Gutted about masectomy I felt kind of ok about it yesterday but think it's sinking in now. Glad Your feeling better xx ... View more

So after the weekend from hell uve kinds got some news it's invasive ductal biopsy come back as cancerous again so it's been found in 3 areas now all in bottom half of breast. Getting mri in next couple of weeks to check if it's in top half but looking pretty likely I'll Nedd full masectomy. Said I prob although won't need chemotherapy which is the best relief ever but again they can't be certain until the mri and the op. Said I will possibly just need tablet treatment. It's not in lymph nodes which I'm happy about but mri is to check this too. This time last week being told I would lose my breast would have been my idea of hell but after thinking the total worst I feel kind of relieved now that it's not worse news. Thanks for all your support as always. Though nothing is certain about treatments am feeling a lot more positive and think I can beat this evil thing now xx ... View more

My app isn't until 4.40 so it's an even bigger nightmare waiting that long x ... View more
