First post, can't believe this is happening
So just got out of hospital yesterday, 2 weeks after finding out the lump I found was breast cancer. The freeloaders have been removed and I'm waiting again for more results. The waiting is excruci...
Hi, having gone through lumpectomy, mastectomy, chemo and now radiotherapy, I actually think one of the most stressful bits was the waiting for results after the lumpectomy. When I was going through chemo, I was given all sorts of drugs (if I needed them) and I couldn't help thinking that I actually needed it more during the 'waiting for results' phase (anxiety, sleeping etc).
I'm 44 with a kid and it was important to me to try 'cold capping' and not lose my hair for my 5-year old (it did work - I've kept hair on my head!).
Also, re comments about public vs private. I went private and have got a multi-disciplinary team looking after me - so it's not just a public thing. Once you know what results are and if you have to do other treatment, you can get more advice on that I'm sure.
Anyway assume you have your results now so hope it is all positive news. By the way, this forum is great for advice.
