In reply to the discussion: Well, I'm still playing with my soft pastels....waiting to hear when my surgery date will be... [View all]LiberalLoner
(10,224 posts)47. Oh I'm sorry it happened to you too, hope you never have a recurrence!
Well, its giving me some anxiety, not gonna lie.
Im reading articles on pubmed that say each 30 day period out from diagnosis to surgery leads to a substantial decrease in survival rates at five years, especially for stage I and II cancers which mine appears to be now based on imaging.
So every month I have to wait, Im watching my chance of death within five years inch up and up and its not a good feeling.
Its been three months so far since the mammogram spotted the cancer.
All the medical facilities in this area are so busy, there are long delays for everything.
Thank you so much
❤️❤️❤️
