Hi Chance2019,   I think is just natural to worry about it all, its all unknown for us all. Breast cancer is just a waiting game but the most frustrating, nerve racking, mind messing game I've ever played. You do just take it all one step at a time and it is surprising how quickly the time goes but the waiting for results feels like an eternity.    Well I haven't got my results back, went to see the oncologist on Tuesday and she said that she doesn't expect them to come back high so has referred me to radiotherapy and started me on hormone treatment and they should have the results by today but will discussed in the MDT meeting on Tuesday and call me. Me being me and having no patience I called my breast care nurse today to see if she had them but she said they weren't back and will speak to me on Tuesday so the wait goes on.   On Tuesday I was happy and relieved but as the week has gone on the nerves have been creeping back in and my head is starting to spin again because until I hear that result I don't have a defiant plan going forward. I have an appointment on Wednesday for my radiotherapy set up (not sure what its call) so fingers crossed this will still be happening.   I did giggle to myself reading about the free lift. I've ended up with one small than the other so feeling a bit loopy at the moment but no plans for topless sunbathing at the moment 😂   Whatatit ❤️       ... View more

Hi Chance2019,   It is a really big decision to make. I think by giving it all now it gives it a better chance of not coming back, if you don’t you may always be worrying about what if. Good luck with your assessment this week.   We are very similar, I am also 48 and am grade 3. Mine is an invasive lobular but I am also bilateral and the other side was invasive ductal grade 1. I saw the surgeon on Friday and he kept saying after chemo which really started to worry me. It was like it has been decided but until I see the oncologist and get my results I wouldn’t know. I had a appointment tomorrow for my results but I found out today my results wouldn’t be ready until the later this week. My mind is all over the place at the moment and just need to know what is going to happen next as life is in limbo at the moment.   ❤️ xx     ... View more

Thank you for your reply’s   Joemic - sorry you results was so high and good luck with your treatment.   Mel - hopefully your wait will not be to long   Chance2019 - that was quite a long wait. I hope you don’t mind me asking as your score is 25, are you having chemo?   thanks x ... View more

Hi Ann,   Thanks for the reply.   I am also hoping that it is due to communication glitch. I think I will call on Monday and talk to the breast nurse about what was said. If my Oncotype results aren’t back for Tuesday the wait goes on and I don’t think I can wait any longer so hopefully will get answers I need to start moving on with my treatment because life on hold until then.x ...
