Hi I'm starting chemo in jan. Not got a date yet. Please can I join your fb page. Thinking it is a smoother, less complicated and more private way of communicating. I was diagnosed on29/10/14 WLE 28/11/14 Think I would really benefit from being able to talk to people and share their experiences too. Thanks Mindy My email Sorry this sounds a bit formal!!

Hi Sam So weird to think so many of us are going through this at the same time. Feeling ok today. Results tomorrow so just knowing that the waiting is nearly over feels better. Good luck on Tuesday. Please let me know how you get on. Mindyx

Hello everyone Thanks Helen Trish and Sam. It's comforting hearing from others. Good luck this week on Tuesday Sam. My surgeon told me that if I was going on a 2 month holiday he wouldn't tell me to cancel it. So I'm guessing it's not fast growing. I'm 51. I guess that's a good sign as they must know that it's not urgent. Personally I just want it out out out! Not that I'm impatient or anything! The waiting is so horrible. Everyone seems to say the same. I feel sick and my heart keeps missing a beat. I was told my lump was grade 2 invasive ducal carcinoma on 29th oct. Also they found I had microcalcifications in my other breast. I have had a prone table stereotactic breast biopsy to see if they are anything to worry about. I had a hadfields procedure a year ago and the consultant said it could be scar tissue from that op. Now I'm so worried that could already be cancer even without a tumour. The nurse said the prone table stereotactic breast biopsy was to prove innocence. I also had a micro bubble test then a biopsy of the sentinel node on the breast with the tumour. The ultrasound didn't show any cancer cells in the nodes but gp says that doesn't really mean anything as this is often the case and they are seen at biopsy. I have my results of both biopsies on weds. Any similar experiences anyone? Good luck to everyone. Thanks Mindyx

Thank you so much everyone. It's so nice to talk to people who understand. One day at a time is very good advice and I think I've got to learn to do that. Xx

Thank you daffodil. I know I'm lucky having such a strong family to lean. It must be so hard being a single mum and it sounds like it is quite new. Hoping you have friends and family close by. Good luck when your treatment starts on Monday. Do you mind me asking what the outcome was of the biopsy you had done on the breast with calcifications? Xx

Hi I know this is breast cancer care but I feel like a fraud being here and I think it's cos I just can't believe I have become a member of this special club. And everything hurts! It's probably not even real pain and nothing to do with my diagnosis but I just can't help my thoughts running away with me. Every twinge I think it's spread already. I suppose I'm just reaching out to others who may be also newly diagnosed or who have been through it for some comfort. Just briefly, or not as the case may be! I found a lump, GP, one stop breast clinic, biopsy and doc said very suspicious and 80% chance it was cancer. After a confusing and horrid weeks wait it was confirmed on weds invasive ductal carcinoma. Even though I had prepared myself it was such a shock for hubby and I. Feel so detached sometimes as if it's not real and other times crying. Keeping busy but can't turn my brain off. Today we told the kids, 4 aged 13 to 24. It felt so painful to bring cancer into their lives with all the worry it brings. We are a close family and we will get through it but like everyone it's a club we didn't want to join. Every one sounds so brave here and I don't feel brave at the moment I just feel scared and actually a bit hopeless. And now it's the middle of the night and I can't sleep. I'm having bubbles (sorry I don't know the technical terms yet!) in the nodes on Monday to see if it's in the lymph nodes. Ultra sound didn't show it. Does it mean it's very unlikely they'll find it's spread? Also Ultra sound found I had crystals? in my other breast and and I have to have a prone table biopsy on my left breast on Tuesday. Has anyone had this done? The lady that booked the appointment didn't really know anything about it apart from I lie on my tummy and my boob goes through a hole?? And I am lying awake because my left boob with crystals is really aching and under my arm and down my arm and I'm panicking that it has already spread and that's why it's hurting. I had a Hadfields procedure a year ago in the crystal breast so doc and Macmillan nurse said it could be scar tissue and it's very common but it doesn't stop me worrying. Sorry for whining on and writing so much. Thank you for taking the time to read my moaning and hope to hear from someone soon. Thanks xx
