Hi, You've really been through the thick of it in the last 4-5 months. Thank you for your reassuring words, kind of a weird mix of feelings. Sounds like your treatment plan is the same as mine, Lumpectomy, SN removal and biopsy, - nothing in nodes, I have to have more tissue removed this Thursday - still a slight blurry edge post imaging - then radiotherapy plus hormone tablets for 5-7 years. I hope you're OK with the current spotting - let's hope it's nothing drastic and is something benign! Sending you a virtual hug too and all the very very best x

I'm not being in the least critical at all as we all have to do what we think is best for us...Id be interested in hearing about alternative therapies too! Can a certain diet help?

I was diagnosed with breast cancer a week ago - needing lumpectomy, lymph node removal and was told radiotherapy around site and then a 7 year chemotherapy tablet 1 each day... the nodes may be clear but my understanding is if the tumour is spiculated, it can still travel via the bloodstream and settle in other parts of the body. I don't like the thought of it but those little mutated cells can travel and the chemo is targeted to kill them - did they say IV chemo or tablets to you?

Hi I was diagnosed with breast cancer a week ago. I know exactly how you feel - I feel "everything will be fine" one minute and now I'm worried because my head and neck hurt and I'm immediately thinking, has this thing metastasised? I too feel like I'm having an out of body experience and this isn't quite real It's really scary - I try to down play how I feel with family and friends as I don't want them to get upset I just heard Princess Catherine talk about her diagnosis and my heart aches for her too. It isn't easy for any of us - I can only wish you all the very very best with your treatment. Please take care of yourself, surround yourself with those you love. Virtual big hug from me X

Hello, I've just been diagnosed with breast cancer, after feeling a ridge of tissue in my left breast. The diagnosis didn't overly shock me for some reason. I'm booked in soon for a lumpectomy, sentinel node removal radiotherapy and oral chemo for 7 years. I have been relatively good for the last week since diagnosis, but tonight my head is aching, my neck feels tight and sore, I just noticed I've lost a kilo...and I'm starting to worry about whether this tumour has already metastasised. I'm wondering if I need a full body scan - though my surgeon didn't seem to think this was necessary. Can someone please tell me if this is normal - is every little ache and pain I feel going to worry me? Should I have a scan to see what is going on? If others could let me know what they think, I would really really appreciate it
