Waiting time
Hi, After a routine screening mammogram with no lumps or bumps prior, I was shocked to find myself in the positions of being newly diagnosed and struggling with the timing of everything. I was originally diagnosed on 20th March with Stage 2 with positive hormone receptor then subsequent biopsy was done on the 1st April. I have 2 lesions one 18mm (invasive Duct) and the other 27mm (invasive duct or lobule- they're not sure) , I saw the surgeon pretty quickly as he was free on the 3rd. he has asked for an MRI to be certain and to also check the right breast as I have fairly dense breasts which may have hidden something. They are to sure if it has spread to any lymph nodes- nothing showed on mammogram and no-one has felt anything. I can get the MRI until the 14th April and then follow up appointment with the surgeon on the 20th April....... it feels like such a long time.... is that normal??? the waiting and not knowing anything for sure is really hard!406ViewsSign in to react to this post10Comments
Timeline on treatment
My treatment seems to be taking so long... I hear of people that were diagnosed well after me are almost finished radiotherapy.... I was diagnosed in August have had a 2nd lumpectomy to get the margins...still havent a date for radiotherapy ....will be seeing my surgeon again this week i guess for pathology on the tissue taken ....then hoping for the go ahead for radiotherapy although its getting so close to christmas i wonder if it will be postponed till after christmas due to public holidays.... is there anyone else that feels like their treatment is taking forever..... is this normal ☹ViewsSign in to react to this postComments
