Hi, I am new to the group. I was diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma on Nov 30. I am totally in shock. The consultant is so blunt & not approachable so feel unable to ask questions. Had an MRI this week, how long until I receive the results? Cannot get in to the GP until 15 Jan. Can somebody please relate?

Hi I had a full lymph nodes clearance on friday , felt ok over the weekend, feel very light headed and tiered today, arm numb which I expected, can sort of feel a weird feeling in the arm which I think must be the fluids trying to find some where to drain , hoping not to feel like this for long xx

Hi, I have had visits to the hospital & back for the last 3 weeks, am going again tomorrow to get the results of the MRI. I have managed to secure an appointment today with my GP who is much more approachable then the consultant. There is no discussions with the consultant, she is so abrupt. I want to know if I have choices? I know I am not having chemotherapy, but I will have 15 days of radiotherapy 6 weeks after the OP. I wish you well with your treatments. Thank you for replying xx

@Bubbles01 that's positive then (no chemo)... usually the norm 3wks radiotherapy you'll be fine, it's a doddle nothing to it, just a little soreness when it's finished. You'll be fine after it all. The operation is quick in & out in a day xx all the best

@carolc1 hi carol after your op... you will be recovering for a few weeks then you'll go back over the results.... because depending on spread to lympnodes then chemo , then radiotherapy will be offered. If nodes are clear maybe just radio. My friend had mastectomy & didn't need any treatment at all ... lucky lol xx

Hi, The mastectomy is booked for 4th Jan, Mri showed an area that had not shown on the MRI, the consultant said it is 10cm, does not think it has spread to lymh nodes. Will check when they do the OP. Thinking positive :)

Hi Micmic. The OP went well, this drain is not so good. Been very tearful & feel so useless. Thank you for asking. I will get there x
