    Call from the hospital yesterday. Seeing the consultant today. Presumably she has the results of the biopsy and it has found Something.

    As it happens, Mr F has a dental appointment at the same hospital for some major work later in the afternoon. So that's our day sorted.

    It is indeed breast cancer - of a commonplace sort, apparently. I've been to the rodeo before, with endometrial cancer, 16 years ago.

    I feel fairly calm about it - or maybe that's the diazepam - and at 75 you don't expect a vast futurityin any case.

    My heart does go out to you, @Firenze because that sounds very similar to my mother's circumstances at the time of diagnosis. Also to Mr F.

    I am sorry to read this @Firenze and hope there is a good way forward with treatment. Thinking of you and Mr F.

    (( @Firenze )) Hope there is a realistic offer of treatment.

    Fucking cancer! Thoughts are with you and Mr F.

    The consultant's attitude seemed to be that it was all run-of-the-mill and entirely treatable. I chose to believe her.

    Mr F now has a couple of new teeth, which he is going to try and not break on anything.

    So an evening of omelette. And gin.

    Fuck cancer. Sending love to you and Mr F.
  • CathscatsCathscats Shipmate
    Love to you, @Firenze and to Mr F.

    Sorry to hear that Firenze - I hope the consultant is right and that it's all treatable.
  • NicoleMRNicoleMR Shipmate
    Good luck and all the best, @Firenze .

    Fight the good fight, @Firenze. Cheering and prayers for you both radiating from across the ocean.
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    I'm praying for both of you, @Firenze. I hope the treatment is easy and effective for you!

    The gin sounds a good idea!

    Prayers ascending .....

    I second the gin being a good idea @Firenze. The consultant sounds good too.

    prayers today for A, wife of our dear priest M, whose son is having a cancerous kidney removed today. May it go well and that the cancer hasn't spread.
    Lord, in your mercy ....

    Empathy heading your way, Firenze.
    Mrs Vole's oncologist has been brilliant so far and she is now on a (very expensive!) cancer growth inhibitor tablet and the usual aromatase inhibitor for the inoperable metastasis and all going well so far!
  • FirenzeFirenze Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Treatment path now laid out. I have a Pill to take daily. An 'enhanced' mammogram (in colour!) on the 16th. Then a meeting with the consultant on the 31st, leading presumably to a surgery date. So, by NHS standards, things going at a fair lick.
  • Stercus TauriStercus Tauri Shipmate
    Sounds encouraging, Firenze. Speed can be the key to this thing, and it sounds as if they aren't messing around.

    A friend of our has just done the same thing and had the surgery two days ago, but she had a question: Why is it that the word 'cancer' takes the masculine gender in many languages?
  • SarasaSarasa All Saints Host
    Glad that you have a plan @Firenze. I hope it all goes as smoothly as possible. Prayers that it will.
