Woops!!!! Here we go again. Just got back from my appointment with my surgeon to get the results from my bone scan and ct scan (which I'd already gotten from my gp/boss yesterday) So I assumed that we'd just be confirming and discussing my surgery for this coming Thursday.... WRONG! woops I forgot that my surgeon had done a second biopsy on my neck swelling. Guess what, this one came back positive for cancer in the glands. Thank god I got those results yesterday as I would be sitting in a corner rocking back and forth about now. So the plan has changed. After consultation with a professor in Brisbane, I am being fast tracked to chemo etc urgently and will be reviewed in three months to see how I'm travelling and review the need for a mastectomy then. Guess what, on the weekend I had a cathartic clean out of my wardrobe and got rid of clothes that wouldnt fit after my mastectomy. LOL OOPS.

Oh Donna, feeling for you ?? Still thankful that your scans were all clear and thinking of you as you head in to chemo xXx

I'm really sorry to hear your news Donna, but the good thing is the bone & CT scan are clear. I think it happens quite a lot where chemo comes before surgery, a friend of mine is going through chemo at the moment & will have her mastectomy when the chemo & radiation are over. You are in my thoughts & I am sending you a big hug. Eileen xx

Same route I took. Glad that your dr's on to it quick!

So sorry to hear the news, Donna - sending you a big virtual hug. Chemo will knock it out of the park, so the sooner you start the better. Keep in touch so we all know how you are doing. xxx Michelle

Hi Donna, sorry to hear the news. Glad they are getting on top of it all quickly. In regards to the clothes, sounds like some retail therapy is in order! Good luck. Karen xox

Time for another change ... aka alternate route ahead!

Its a bummer when life takes an unexpected turn. You will get through it though if you take it one step at a time.

Sounds like a great excuse to go shopping!

Glad they took two biopsies, glad they are getting in to it ASAP!

Wishing you all the best through chemo Donna...and you can reward yourself with a new wardrobe later!

Hi Donna, we are on the same route. My chemo starts next week. Bummer about the clothes, I too just cleansed of all those I thought I would never squeeze back into! But could now be a possibility. Shopping therapy is good for us isn't it? Not sure if it's good for my bank account!

good luck, sending you hugs. Keep in touch xx

Oh. BLARG. Doesn't this stuff just throw you for a loop the minute you think you're on top of it!

Happy that was caught. Loving your positivity. xo
