Hello! I just met with my surgeon today. I have invasive lobular in my left breast. The mass is 4.5 cm. So she will remove the breast and have reconstruction. There’s a small spot in my right breast that they can’t biopsy til 8/11. Meanwhile, I’ll be having lab work and body scans. The waiting is awful! I want it gone yesterday!! 😩😝 I’m semi ok with the surgical plan. My fear if it’s spread and I need chemo. That scares me like crazy. Thanks for letting me vent!

The waiting period before results can feel overwhelming, and these feelings are completely understandable given what lies ahead. Many people in this community find it helpful to focus on one day at a time during this difficult period, whether through gentle activities, connecting with loved ones, or finding small ways to stay occupied while the medical team gathers all the information needed for the best care plan. This community understands the anxiety that comes with uncertainty, and there are many here who have walked similar paths and can offer support during this challenging time.

Hi Beth, hope you got your answers and are feeling good about your plan. I just wanted to share i to was really scared about chemo. But in the end it was doable. Hard. But not as terrible as it is in our minds. Good luck with everything

My scans were good and genetic tests negative, so all good news! Last hurdle is the MRI biopsy next week. Thank you for your encouragement! It really helps! I hope you are doing well!
