Hi Dancing Girl. Thanks for that.
I was supposed to be at hospital this afternoon but it got cancelled this morning. I was going to meet my consultant to find out what my treatment plan is going to be. Had a lumpectomy and lymph node removed last week. Was worried sick about today and now have to wait until friday to find out, what stage are you at, if you dont mind me asking?
KellyM that is so annoying - the worst thing is waiting to find out what is going to happen to you - it doesn't seem so bad once you know. It would really have upset me if that had happened. I found I coped quite well and took each day at a time most of the time. It was days like you are having now that got to me.
I'm out the other side of active treatment - I had WLE and SNB, FEC-T chemo (with gap in the middle to have appendix out) and radiotherapy. I'm now on Arimidex and finding out the SEs of taking them.
Feel free to PM me if you want to ask anything. Also once you know your treatment plan it is nice to journey along with others doing the same thing at the same time, so either join an appropriate thread or start one if there isn't an appropriate one.
The site is great I learnt so much about everything on here that I didn't find out from appointments. It's also nice to have a moan/laugh with other people who understand the problems and emotions we go through.
Good luck on Friday. I hope it is minimal treatment for you.

Kelly, you must be climbing the walls! I had similar, with appointments rescheduled about 3 times before I was told anything. This is the worst bit, so hopefully the results you get tomorrow will be worth waiting for.
Best of luck
