Hi @Mic80, I was diagnosed on 15th Feb, stage 2 lobular cancer, everything just seems to be a whirlwind....I too waited with much anxiety after MRI, ct scan and full bone scan, the results I received last Tuesday, and it looks like there is no spread, .
I am booked in for sectional mastectomy Thursday and my lovely surgeon has explained everthing including the wait for results up to 2 weeks for the margins and lymph nodes.
I have a breast care nurse locally who has visited, she organised a bra for after surgery, then when she found out about the reconstruction she organised a visit to a local lady who has ordered a different bra with far more support for me, hoping it arrives today. There is also a breast care nurse at the hospital which is 2 hours from home, and I am lucky Hubble is staying at accom at the hospital.
I have been taking sleep aid to help me sleep, and working to keep me busy, in between appointments.
It's very hard waiting each time for results, but, I cannot wait for the cancer to be removed, just knowing it's there is haunting me!
I wish you luck with your results and future procedures, we are in it for the long haul. Keep your family close and talk about it rather than bottle it up. XXX
