And so it goes on...

It was a year yesterday since my breast cancer diagnosis. In that time, I've had a mastectomy, attended my daughter's graduation in Edinburgh, moved house, started building another house, my husband had a heart attack, another daughter got engaged (& is planning to get married in oct- hope we're back in the house!), had scans, chemo, r/t, lost hair (but not hope), check ups, annual mammogram...
followed by a call back for magnification, followed by the news that there is suspected dcis in other breast. Biopsy coming up on wed, results a week later.

Looks like this year is just going to keep on going on...

Oh No!

I am so very very sorry to hear that you may be facing yet another diagnosis. Fingers crossed that they are wrong and the calcifications are not an indication of cancer.

Hang in there. And pls come let us know how the biopsy results go next week.
Thinking of you.

Flo.

Sweet Divine - it seems that enough isn't enough in your case.... could your year get any more hectic?

Truly hoping that you don't have to go down the road of treatment all over again - hope you can keep the head until you get your results back.

Will be thinking of you x

And it doesn't go on!! Biopsy results all clear! So relieved. I was finding this harder to deal with than last year so I can concentrate on the good things again.

Thanks for your messages everybody and yours encee.

I don't know how I missed your last post Janeymac but delighted for you - as much as you try not to think about it, it takes so much out of you. Glad you will have the summer to yourself. xx
