Candlegranny,
You are so lucky to be starting your treatment. I envy you, and wish you all the best also! I got biopsy results and cancer is back, had lump on chest checked and its positive. Lots more since. Told its very agressive and must be treated immediately- then get appointment for scans - in a months time! Rang consultant but he says we have to wait for scans. cancer epidemic where I live, also health cutbacks. Had mastectomy 2008, then a/c, taxol, and 1 year of tyverb. Less than a month after I came off the tyverb the lump appeared on my chest. Now remaining breast hot and painful, also backpain, had mri in Nov, wear and tear they told me then. Have gone from using paracetamol to tramadol . Has anyone else been left waiting this long and been ok?
