It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.

Re: i have cancer

Thanx everybody for your kind messages

just trying to get my head round this whole thing.

i hadnt wanted to post anything on here till id spoken to my family.

i found the lump on 7th march which was the day after my mum had an mri scan after having deranged LFTs. her MRI came back ok but my dad had to go for investigations for colon cancer.

luckily that came back ok too but i didnt want to deliver another load of bad news to them til i knew for sure what i was dealing with.

so went for mammogram last week looked up loads of stuff and this week had to get results when consultant told me hed know more if ihad ultra sound i knew then it wasnt nothing or hed have sent me home.

on way down stairs to clinic i read my notes

ill defined margins... invasive carcinoma... lymphoedema!

foned my sis... first shed heard about it... come to breast clinic... i have a lump... think its cancer... please come

she arrived before i went in for ultrasound.... saw on the scan growth 12/13mm and smaller growth in lympth nodes 3mm

both in tears... when i saw lymph growth tahts when it hit home... this is really ****ing ****e!

next was needle aspiration and core biopsy... it aches now... can hardly even fight with the paracetamol pack to pop them out the blisters.

familys all told now... mum, dad, daughter, son.

back on wed for chest xray and bloods

back next tues for consultant MDT clinic... and date for surgery and course of treatment.

my sis my daughter and my aunt are all now at increased risk of getting it too.

achy arm now so think tahst enough typing for now.

thanks again for the lovely messages. emoticon

Lulu

What can I say... You are a wonderful strong woman that will get through this, and we are all here to support you in anyway we can. This shouldn't have happened to you, its just not fair. But like I said anything I can do... please let me know. I'm only an hour away (or 45 mins if you consider my driving, 1 hour if you remember my sense of direction...)

Thinking and praying for you...
Pauline
