I finally got my results back from my masectomy (three weeks took ages) and had some good news, I had a 5cm area of high grade dcis and 1 1/2cm stage one low grade and all the other scattered areas were still calcification and my 2 sentinel nodes were clear so I won't need chemo or radiotherapy

    Thanks everyone, I was lucky that all the rest was still calcification but the waiting was definitely hard especially when the surgeon was warning me that if my sentinel nodes weren't clear I'd need more taken out, I think that he was worried that the other areas were cancerous. So I know that this was silly of me but when I got my results everyone was happy and relieved but I just felt like collapsing, I have spent the last few months being strong for the kids still hadn't cried then get the news that I want and felt like falling to pieces, I spent the rest of the week sleeping for like 16 hours a day and felt so exhausted, this has loosened a few screws I think. I am starting the tamoxifen next week til menopause has finished and then into another one for five years so wish me luck jenny66 xx

    @Jenny66, totally normal to feel like falling in a heap afterwards. I think its only when we get a chance to slow down that we truly start to acknowledge what we have been through and allow ourselves to grieve and feel relief. Best wishes for the Tamoxifen and then the other hormone therapy when you get to it. Xx Cath
