Newly diagnosed grade 2 IDC

Oh Adrianne This does seem a long wait for you. I hope your GP can get things moving more quickly for you. This initial phase of waiting for appointments and tests and test results is just torture! On the positive side it is actually good that you are ER and PR + as this will mean they can give you hormone therapy which gives you a much better chance of not having a recurrence down the track! Hope your GP can get you in to see the surgeon sooner. Deanne xxoo

Thanks Chris for your support. I too am ER & Pr positive. Feeling quite angry at the moment as I have to wait until 27/08/13 for first appointment with the surgeon. Glad to hear that you are nearing the end of your tunnel. Adrianne

Hi Mich, Back from GP visit, we're she rang hospital to find out when my appointment with surgeon was to be. They gave a date of 27/08/13. Doc is trying to get me seen earlier. I am not very happy about this at all. What sort of wait times did you experience? Adrianne

Hi Adrianne, at 52 I was diagnosed with a grade 3 invasive ductal cancer of the right breast. This was 21mm with no nodes involved ( 10 removed ). That was 2.5 years ago and I have completed chemo, bilateral mastectomy, and now reconstruction, and am currently on Femara due to it being ER+ and PR+. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I am doing really well. This is an awful time for you, but ask lots of questions, and read lots of info. I too can recommend the book that Mich read by Professor Boyages. It is written in a very easy format to follow with lots of analogies that make sense. If possible try and take someone with you to your appointments. Having a second set of ears, and a note pad and pen is really helpful. When you are still shell shocked, it is hard to remember everything that is said. Good luck with your appointments today, and please know that you can come on here and ask anything at all. We are all here to support each other. Love Chris xx
