BcrSally and Billybell, Thanks for sharing your journeys..I have read with interest as I an on the waiting list for lumpectomy and 4 lymph node removal surgery. After 2 seperate biopsies, core and vacuum, across 2 weeks on both breasts I have been diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Cancer grade 2, 25mm HER neg Est. positive in only 1! Started on tamoxifen 3 wks ago. Woohoo. The other was a benign calcification lump. But now the wait..... the consultant is really honest but says he has no idea on timescales at the moment as I am not high on the list ( which is good!) But he is hoping that the hospital can increase capacity soon. The waiting is crazy....... How did you guys cope with waiting? How are you after the surgery? Are you now 6 weeks until radiotherapy? Thanks.
