Hi. Waiting for final results tomorrow

Hi there @DearB

I am sorry to hear of your recent journey - but I am glad to know that you have found this amazing safe space to share your story and journey with others in a similar boat.

The waiting for any kind of cancer related results is agonizing!!!!  I remember thinking to myself  "if they can put a bloody man on the moon why can't they hurry up with my results".  The waiting for pre diagnosis tests was so stressful for me - I was like a cat on a hot tin roof and couldn't sit still or focus....... Do you have a breast care nurse??  If so maybe she could be a shoulder to lean on during this stressful time.

I am coming up to week 6 post op this Friday (multifocal papillary cancer left breast, 3 lumps, hormone receptive HER2 neg) and still don't have all the answers....I see the oncologist this Friday to work out what happens next. My surgeon is hopeful for just medication long term and no chemo or radiation....but that is for the oncologist to tell me.

I am generally someone who likes to be on top of things - my husband would say that means I like to be in control hahahah

but he is right  - I have certainly felt out of control which has frustrated me no end.......but I have finally come to place of accepting that most of this process (but not all of it!!) is out of my control to a strong degree.  Don't get me wrong - I am still very active and vocal in my post op treatment/care etc. but I have just had to accept that certain things are out of my hands.  (I think that maybe this is overall grand learning that is meant to be for me out of this whole ordeal...patience...hmmmm)

I wish you all the very best for your results and the journey that lays ahead for you.

Hope to see you online again ")

Cheers

Sally
