Hi Anne,
Really feel for you, It is unnerving when your specialists are not giving you their diagnosis with confidence on such an important issue, but I don·t think it is a bad thing that your consultant is asking for a second opinion.Whatever the outcome, a second opinion can only be for the best in the long run. I·m sure you are going to get through all this,

Once again - thank you all for your lovely messages of support.
The latest news has sent me back into a flat spin! The Breast consultant rang me last night to say he couldn't schedule surgery until 20th November. He also said he was sending my results to another hospital for a second opinion. Whilst I welcome the concept I am now worried they will disagree with my Urology team and say that this tumour is a secondary.:ohmy:
He then casually dropped another whammy into the mix and said I could have a mastectomy if I wanted! When I had raised that option at the beginning of the consultations he had dismissed the idea very quickly. Why has he changed his mind? Who knows?
Watch this space and keep everything crossed!

Anne, It's hard to know what to say to someone who keeps on getting devastating news. A friend once told me that without bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all. I'm sure you feel that way, with reason. But you're like the energizer bunny that just keeps on drumming away, constantly stepping over all of the bumps in the road ahead. You're stronger and braver than you ever wanted to be. There must be something really special waiting for you to do after you make it through the next few months! You'll be in my mind and prayers.

Anne,
You are one of the strongest women I know. This road sucks but you will beat this with your positive attitude. I am here for you when I'm not napping.
