Good luck with all the tests. Will keep you in my prayers. Hopefully your chemo will have done what it should.

I did my treatment in a different order - had surgery first so cancer was gone. Chemo and radiotherapy after to prevent it coming back. It is nerve racking waiting for results 'though. Had to go for triple assessment on my 'good' side a couple of weeks ago Image removed. as consultant thought she felt something. Luckily it was nothing Image removed. but the wait brought back fears I'd have to go through it all again.

Hello Superwhy

Wishing you all the best for your mammogram tomorrow and your results on Monday next.. The waiting is such an awful time.. for me the waiting after surgery to find out if it had spread to my lymph nodes was the worst, but thankfully (and I feel I have escaped soo well) it had not. Think positive and fingers crossed Image removed. Do let us know how you go..

I guess I am nervous as the triple accessment area is where I realised something was wrong and just going back there on Monday will be hard.
Not meeti the surgeon till the 21st to discuss surgery.
MRI on thurs.

Well I was back in st Vincent's today to meet surgeon. The good news is the Tumor seems to have been blasted ( surgeons words ) by the chemo and its not there anymore. They still concerned about my lymph nodes. So they want to do a full auxiliary clearance. So it's a lumpectomy and auxiliary clearance. Said its only a 2 night holiday after surgery. Last chemo on Monday. The plan is surgery early August.
