Hi everyone. I'm totally shocked. I had a disastrous few days. My mom went for mammo on Tuesday because of a lump. She saw a specialist the afternoon and they are going to operate next week Thursday. Doc says he doesn't think it is cancer so that's good news. She's 74 and already in a state at the thought of an operation. That's why I couldn't share with her regarding my situation and the biopsy, etc. In any case, the BAD NEWS. My GP phoned again yesterday afternoon (While I was shopping). Apparently the pathologists weren't totally happy and did some more tests. It is Pageats as I suspected all along. I actually started crying in the middle of the shop and needed to sit down. After the exitement of no cancer news I was totally relaxed and not ready for this. GP was so apologetic about this but thought I should know immediately. He said he never saw anyone with Pageats before so this was also his first case. Last night I drank something to calm me down. I think I went into some sort of shock with pains all over. Didn't sleep well and decided not to go to work today. I must go and get the report from the doctor and make arrangements to see a specialist. Now here's my question: Do I need to see a breast specialist, surgeon or oncologist? GP asked if I know a specialist or he'll refer me. I was so confused I just said I know of someone and will let him have the name. A colleague from work sister had breast cancer earlier in the year and saw an oncologist and she is now fine. So I was thinking of going to see him, but I don't know if that's the best option with Pageats. Please help and pray with me to see the best way. I don't want to rush into anything now I know. My husband is still sort of in denial. It's very difficult for him as he don't normally show any emotion and I don't think he knows how to handle this. I've decided not to tell my mother yet until after her operation. My eldest daughter live far from us and I thought I'll wait until I have more concrete news before telling her. Do you think this is good? I don't know, I don't want to upset her. Second daughter knows as she was with me when doctor phoned. She's exactly like dad, came in this morning and said she knows a lady who they said had cancer, and when she got to the specialist it wasn't afterall. Unfortunately biopsy's doesn't lie, but I understand where she's coming from. Youngest daughter is in Uni busy with tests. Thought I will rather tell her maybe the weekend when she's back from hostels. I'll first see how things are as I know they are busy with a test week. Sorry for the LONG post, I just needed to get this of my mind and hear some of your thoughts. Thanks!View Thread
