Thank you. I'm taping my next meeting with the oncologist. It's too stressful trying to recal, stuff ter and what did they mean by that etc

Has anyone else had their cancer described as mixed ductal and lobular. I think it means breast tissue too dense to be sure

Hi Jules 66. I was interested in you saying you're having TC instead of FEC T as less brutal. Is that a newer type of chemo?

Hi there. I rang the adult social care team at the suggestion of a Mac nurse. It was also suggested I contact four rivers, part of Age Uk. You're meant to be over 50 but they said it was ok. I was offered for some one to come in 2/3 times a day to help with meals and four rivers send someone to help with light housework tasks

In reply to your comments, it looks like we had similar diagnosis but the oncologist I'd not take on board any factors relating to affecting my quality of life or my ability to look after my 12 year old son

I should also say I had a 2.5 tumour in breast and it had spread to one node(I had 12 removed). There were calcifications in my right breast but they were benign (fibroadenomas disease) nothing to worry about apparently

Hi there. I was told I was borderline for chemo and the oncologist was surprised that predict tool indicated I would benefit by 7%. I started having doubts, expressed them to nurse (during this conversation I actually promised I would go head with chemo!). I just wasn't convinced by this statistic. I didn't know online tests they do and researched this myself. At the next appointment (day before chemo meant to start) onc said she'd done another test with similar result. I said we're only talking 7% so what's similar. She said 6 or 7 %. I am due to have second opinion on 15th. She also told me window of benefit for chemo for would reduce after 60 days after surgery. Second opinion is 70 days after surgery- it has taken a month so this is also now a factor. I can't see me going ahead with it. I don't want radiotherapy but will probably bite the bullet there and tamoxifen. I've adopted a non-dairy vegetarian diet and for me looking at other factors for the future such as nutrition are important.
