Waiting, waiting, waiting….
Hi all, diagnosed 1st September, multifocal invasive lobular carcinoma. Surgeons appt scheduled for 17 September. Surgeon has referred me for an mri with contrast. The surgeon completed my biopsies (3) in breast screen clinic, so I’ve met her. My biggest question now is how long do you wait for the mri apointment? They acknowledge receipt of ‘urgent referral’ on 2nd of September and now it’s the 10th, they’re telling me they are waiting on ‘protocols’, my breast care nurse is wonderful and is following it up along with me, how long did you all wait? I thought I was coping not too bad, but today it all just seems really cruel……?Who to ask about pathology details?
Hi all, just new here…yay🎉?! 🤦🏻♀️ I see everyone seems to know what hormone, stage and other details of their cancer. I know the size of mine, that it is invasive lobular. Just wondering, as I’d like to find out further details and I guess just assumed someone would “tell me” when I needed to know. Would my surgeon or GP be the person to ask for those details? I’ve had a lumpectomy, several lymph nodes removed and need to have further margins or areas of margin removed. I’d like to know obviously if the cancer is potentially fast growing, stage and hormones. thanks so much.
