Zombie needs her limbs holding

875 replies

With Zombie's permission, I'm starting this thread

As many of you know she has had a hideous time through her treatment for cancer.

At the point where she was maybe out of the woods she has been asked to see her surgeon on Friday. Unexpectedly Sad

Can we all squeeze her together so her limbs don't go flailing
and do what we vipers do best?

I cannot bear the thought of her going through all the treatment s again after coming out of it before

Prayers, fingers crossing or whatever welcome right now

Sending you meadowy thoughts, Zombie.

I went and bought some wildflower seeds yesterday and sprinkled some around. The birds have probably eaten them all already, but the intention is there.

Hope you're ok x

I don't ask for much to be honest but I am asking for this. Let it be an all clear for Zombie

IamtheZombie · 28/03/2014 14:00

I have Grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma. The results for hormone and HER2 sensitivity aren't back yet.

My mastectomy is scheduled for Thursday, 17th April. In the next week or two I will have an ultrasound examination of the axillary lymph nodes on that side. Those results will help my surgeon decide whether to do a sentinel node biopsy or a full node clearance at the time of the mastectomy.

As I had radiotherapy to this breast 21 years ago when I had DCIS, I cannot have any further radiotherapy.

It is too early to tell whether or not I will need to have more chemotherapy. My surgeon said "You may well be heading towards more chemo but we just don't have enough information yet". That decision will be made once the hormone and HER2 sensitivity results and the full histology results on the tissue removed during the mastectomy are back.

Although it's not what I wanted to hear, it is pretty much what I was expecting to hear.

Thanks again for all your love and support.

mistlethrush · 28/03/2014 14:02

Brew and Thanks. Sorry to hear it is not the news you wanted Zombie. I'm glad that things are in place to get on with things much better than waiting in limbo.

Mintyy · 28/03/2014 14:03

Well that's not very fucking fair is it Zombie? Who have you got with you in your rl honeybunch? You need someone looking after you. Wish I lived nearer xxxx

LtEveDallas · 28/03/2014 14:03

Fuck.

Oh Zombie, I'm so sorry. I had hoped against hope.

Love you.

I am so sorry to hear that lovely. There are no words really.

Well maybe there are-

UNFAIR. UNFAIR. UNFAIR. UNFAIR.

You know you only have to ask (chocolates/fed ex wine/gin whatever)

MoominsYonisAreScary · 28/03/2014 14:03

More love and support flowing your way Zombie, really wish this wasn't the news you had to hear today.

Flowers Cake Sorry to hear that and hope you have a smooth journey through it.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 28/03/2014 14:09

Oh Zombie, I'm so sorry. It's one thing to expect it, another to have it confirmed. I recommend a punch bag for the bloody unfair things in life.

We're here to handhold for as long as you need us.

Xxxxx
