Hi Pinklady. How are you now? I was diagnosed at a similar time, although my lump is not mobile and I've started chemo. I think mobile lump is 'better'. In a bizarre way, I find that I have become calmer, more serene. And the big upside is that you learn who really cares about you, and how many people have been through it and come out the other side and are ok. Hope you are ok now. xx

Hi Pinklady. I have had three lots of breast lump operations. The first time I had five lumps removed, and the second and third times, one each time. All the lumps were mobile and all were benign. I hope this will be your case too. Please let us know how you are.

ech1noid and pinklady,
What a wonderful attitude you have, I do hope the chemo isnt too unpleasant for you, and that all will be well in time. Please let us know how you both get on.

Hello everyone - I'm new to this site and am sure someone will be able to help!! My sister in law has just been diagnosed with breast cancer and is due for surgery in two weeks. She's 39 and has had to now put her IVF treatment (4th attempt) on hold! Understandably she feels the world is against her - I want to be of as much support to her as I can now and more so after the surgery - can anyone who's been through this give me some suggestions of the best things I can do? To be there and listen obviously but also thepractical stuff?

Hi Caggy
I'm new to this site too - just joined today! Sorry to read about your sister-in-law's BrC - I've done that one and it's not easy.
I've just posted about this on another board in here - there's a very useful American website which could well provide the answers you're looking for. I had a quick search on there for IVF information and couldn't find the answer to your question, but you can join (free) and post the question on their forum. They have a very large membership not only of BrC warriors but also doctors etc. so you should get some useful replies.
Their forum is here:
http://community.breastcancer.org/
Hope that's helpful.

Sending you love at this horrible time. I had op,chemo and radiotherapy nearly three years ago.I had bowell cancer.....breast cancer much more ladylike! It was hard but my friends and family were my salvation...had just lost husband a year before.... They were always there but didnt crowd me or ring me all the time because that is very tiring and the tiredness is possible the worst of all side effects. People came with M and S meals.....brilliant and Drove me back and fore to the hospital,sent funny cards ....lots of them which I really appreciated.I came out the otherside with a whole new attitude to life . Living every day to the full and with a new appreciation of my wonderful sons ,their families and all my wacky girlfriends. Life has looked up massively since those dark old days. I have re married !! to a wonderful guy 5 years younger. I have been to Australia three times to see my middle son and had six or so really fab holidays. I still work but very part time ....one day a week! and life is very very good. Sorry to talk so much about myself but I want you to know there is life after the dreaded C
Try, in as far as is possible, to stay positive ....not always easy I know. And do not be afraid to take friends up on there offers of help. Pamper yourself as much as you can and put yourself first which we women are not always good at!
I send you all good wishes for a full and speedy recovery and lots of Big Hugs xxx

Hi,
I have just joined the forum and have just read your posting. I know exactly what you are going through as I have been there and still going through it. I found a lump in my left breast last year and went to the doctor same day after dropping my son off at school and believe me waiting for the news of wheather it was cancer or not was the worst three days of my life. This was back in October 07.
I have had the lump removed and had chemo and radiotheraphy and am now having another treatment called Herceptin because when they did the biopsy on my lump they found a cancer cell on my lump called Her 2 receptor.
Last year my partner and I split in November and my son and I moved home as well. So I had cancer, moved home, single parent and the rest. But I am alive and being positive and being strong even though not always easy is the way I live each day.
Did you get the results and what was it?
xx

Hello alive,
What a miserable year you have had, and what a positive attitude you have taken. I think you are incredibly brave.

Hi Alive
Hope all goes well for you. I knew someone who was on herceptin for a couple of years, and it worked for her.
You've had so many changes in your life, in a short time, but your positive personality will win through, bless you x

I know that if lumps are mobile, this is usually a good sign. God bless you, we are all thinking of you and praying for the perfect outcome.

Hello There, I had breast cancer in 1994, I went through all of the treatment and came through. I still go to have a Mamogram every year and still take Tamoxifen, this being my choice. The advise I was give at the time was all treatments are just for your condition. And take notice of your Consultant and Onchogist. Very Best wishes Smokey.

Pink lady, currently in same position as you, so it was comforting to know I'm not alone.
The replies to your post at least give some hope even if its impossible to remove the fear.
Best wishes to you and all in the same position xx

Alive, I've been living well on Herceptin for the past three and a half years - I have it at home now, and it's a breeze. My Oncologist told me the world record on this treatment is 11 years - and that's only because it's only been used for 11 years. It's a good treatment. Stay with it.
When I was diagnosed, my daughter was just 10, and her father a complete waste of space; but we've come through it. You are doing everything you can, staying positive, for yourself and for your son. Key thing is to think yourself into that top percentile of survivors.

I was diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer at the last month. Her2 negative but 8/8 hormone receptive!
Just come out of hospital today having had a wide local excision where the cancer was orignally taken from, sentinel lymph node removal and a second biopsy from the other breast.
Feeling very scared and go back to get the results oflymph node and biopsy of second lump on tuesday.
The support and love from family and friends has meant so much.
Advise anyone in the smae position to talk!
Bethy
