A very exclusive club. As far as I know, the only other HU-er in it with me is IannodaTruffe . Yes, I've joined the cancer club....

I went for a routine mammogram a couple of weeks before Christmas, and got a call-back appointment really quickly. They took a load more mammograms as the machine moved across me, they kind of "slice" the tissue into bits so they can look at it from different angles. Then ultrasound, and two biopsies.

The Radiographer knew by then, I've no idea how it works, but the thing they take the biopsy with allows them to look right down into the lump. She asked me to call my husband in then she told us. Obviously, I had to wait for the full results from the biopsy, but they are not going to tell you it looks like a cancer if there is any doubt.

Good job I don't celebrate Christmas, because it would NOT have been merry chez moi.

The appointment to get my results was a very emotional one for me. There were very many frightened faces, everyone was either a "call-back" or a "results" patient. There were all ages, only about 3 or 4 ladies were older than me. There were several Muslim ladies, I wonder if they give them a female consultant out of respect for their religion? There were also several Orientals, including one man. I Googled it when I got home, I had no idea this could affect men too, apparently it is quite common but women have a much better survival rate because they know something is wrong and go to their doctors.

My consultant is a real eccentric, a true bonkers professor. he described the various stages of cancer as dogs, with a Rottweiler being the worst, apparently what I have is a Poodle. I will have a lumpectomy, and removal of some of the lymph glands, followed by three weeks of Radiotherapy.

These are the questions I asked...

Will I lose my breast? - No

Will I lose my hair? - No

Will I be able to keep running? Not for two weeks after the op, but then it's ok.

Will I be able to take the class of new runners that I have planned? Yes, after those two weeks off.

Will I be able to run my Half Marathon in March? Yes.

Should I cancel my return to France which is all booked for the middle of April? No.

I feel extraordinarily lucky, they said if I had not had 2 previous mammograms they would never have spotted such a subtle change. I Googled my consultant, I think I have been given a really top man in his field. Obviously I am not lookig forward to any of this, but I think I will be looked after very well.

So, ladies, and gents, please do your checks, don't leave anything you find that you think isn't right.

As Tim would say - keep running, keep smiling.

That's awful news Curly, but at least as you say it sounds as if they have found it before it gets out of hand. My mum went through the same about 15 years ago - no chemo needed just radiotherapy. The worst thing about it for her was that the hospital she had to go to for the therapy was a long drive away and she and my dad were already quite old and frail by then (or so I thought - nothing compared to their conditions now ... but that's another whole story), and they had to go over there very often including over the Xmas period all through the terrible weather. BUT, the actual therapy didn't give her any trouble at all.

Good luck, and keep us posted. Your consultant sounds lovely and his upbeat prognosis of all fine to go back to France in April gives good vibes.

Much love, Sue xx

I'm going to Addenbrokes, it's about 2 miles from me so not too bad really. Perhaps I'll even run there if I feel up to it! Thanks for saying your Mum didn't have any ill effects from the radio, that's the bit that worries me most really.

Just a bit of fatigue, but that was partly caused by getting up early for the journeys!

Oh Sarah I was wondering how the biopsy went. You are the second friend of mine to get it in so many days. The good news for you is that you caught it so early and it sounds like a minimal disruption of your life, all things considered.

Hi Curlygurly,

Unfortunately you are not the only members of this horrible club. Your diagnosis seems (as your consultant said) at the very best end of the scale.

I waited until after breast cancer to think about getting fit - your body will thank you for keeping it in good shape.

Your treatment is relatively gentle - I had a lumpectomy with removal of lymph glands and I would recommend a good bra, but otherwise you should get over the surgery quickly. I also had chemo, which was the hardest part psychologically and physically, and then 36 sessions of radio. Radio is not too bad - the worst part is the daily appointments and the disruption to your routine. I took a long time to get back to feeling myself, but I think that was mainly due to chemo which is brutal. Will you also need hormone therapy? - tamoxifen has played havoc with my joints, skin and ability to regulate my body temperature! If you do need it, I'd recommend Nolvadex brand, if you can choose.

Good luck with your treatment, I'll look out for your updates on here.

With love

Lizz xxx

Thank you Lizz,

I'm hoping the radio won't be too bad, you've had a rough time with yours haven't you? The've said I might need hormone therapy, I don't know yet.

One question if I may - they've said I should get a fitting for a good unboned bra, a sports bra preferably, just as you say, will I need that for ever, or will I be able to go back to something a bit lighter later on?

Lizzisforliving profile image
LizzisforlivingGraduate in reply toCurlygurly2

Hi CG2

I suppose this might depend on your build - I have small breasts - but I bought soft bras (M&S, and Asda do good ones, but you have to look quite carefully to make sure you only choose 100% cotton for during radio, and the ranges for women who have had a mastectomy - that includes us in this context - are VAT-free). I wore these immediately after surgery (well, 3 or 4 days after) and throughout radio (the underwired ones put too much pressure on the skin which may display symptoms of burning - I forgot one day and the technician gave me talking-to!) and I continue to rotate them with my more glamorous ones today. I probably bought more than I needed, because I have been able to wear some of my favourite pre-surgery ones, but I find that I sometimes feel uncomfortable in underwired - I still have some cording - a kind of pulling under the armpit.

A good sports bra will never be wasted for a runner, though, will it? If you find one you love, let me know - I've (ashamed face) never bought a sports bra, I just run in those little runner's bra tops which give zero support. But as I said, I'm very small up top.

Good luck and keep smiling - you will come out the other side and look back on this, which I know feels unimaginable right now.

With love

Lizz xxx

Curlygurly2 profile image
Curlygurly2Graduate in reply toLizzisforliving

I have a very good sports bra from Triumph, I'm not massive up top, but I'm not small either. They are very comfortable, but high at the front, and thick around the straps. Fine under a jumper in winter, but not with summer strappy dresses. Thanks for the advice, I'll pop into M&S soon xx

Well done for having courage to tell others. I found mine and was treated quickly. Only needed radiotherapy. Definitely keep your goals ! Also keep fit as you can and eat well! I did a lot of walking during radiotherapy, and then rest when you need it as well. After they removed lump I went out to stand in a field and watch a music festival... well wasn't allowed to do much else! Been signed off after 5 years clear.

Curlygurly2Graduate in reply toLisaGuy-Cowes

It was hard to announce here, I kept putting it off - as I long as I didn't tell anyone, I didn't have it...I'm glad you said you walked, I'm hoping to still get out and about , fresh air and all that, even if I can't run. xx

LisaGuy-Cowes profile image
LisaGuy-CowesGraduate in reply toCurlygurly2

Exactly , all good things are good. I also told lots people on text! Most didn't believe it. I walked back to ferry from radiotherapy as bus didn't work with times. The cancer bus driver often told people on the bus that I walked home. Although if they were having chemo that was very different!. Positive thinking and plans / goals all help immensely I reckon.

So sorry to hear this Curly. But really pleased it is caught early and you are in good hands.

When my dearest hubby was diagnosed with his cancer. we found many people wanting to share their own or someone they know’s story, some good some not so good. If they are good be thankful and accept the well meaning. For those who feel the need to share less good stories, well meant or not: well we have a standard response:- everyone’s journey is different and the one to focus on is your own.

You are going to get through that journey just great Curly. Your forum friends are here whenever we can help.

Sending good wishes and positive thoughts . Keep running when you can xxx

Curly, you have all my best wishes and sympathy. Waiting for results is the worst part for most people. The club is surprisingly large ......one in two of the population will be diagnosed with a cancer at some point in their life.

As I have written here, I would not wish any cancer on anybody, but it really does help you get a realistic perspective of what is truly important in life. As a direct consequence of my cancer, I have met some of the most inspirational people on the planet.

I am off to hospital shortly, to begin the final week of my radiotherapy. It has gone well for me and only had minor impacts on me, although everybody is different. My Rottweiller has apparently been tamed, according to tests and I am still running three times a week. I am sure your poodle will soon be dismissed.

The shock of diagnosis will ease and living with cancer will become the norm, for now, as will visits to your oncology centre, which, if like mine, will be staffed by the very best of humanity.

PM me at any time if you want to chat. I will say it because it works for me........keep running, keep smiling.

A swan took flight off the river next to me, flapping and splashing, and stamping its feet on the water, they are not the most elegant birds at that point. it was such a wonderful sight I stopped and watched, and laughed out loud at the sheer joy of it.

The world is beautiful, life is good and it goes on......with a vengeance.

Sorry to hear your news Curly.

My mum was in a very similar situation 10 years ago. She’d actually found the lump 6 months before but didn’t do anything about it until her brother passed away 6 months later. She also had a lumpectomy, lymph node removal and 3 weeks of radiotherapy. Luckily for mum the only physical sided effects she had were fatigue in the short term, and in the long term a bit of weakness in the arm.

As with many many others my thoughts are with you through this journey.
