That did not go according to plan

Less than one minute read time.

37 days ago I found a small lump in my right boob.  

21 days ago I went to the breast clinic at my local hospital for all the scanning, poking, prodding and slicing that was on offer.

12 days ago I was told that I had papillary cancer in my right boob and for an added bonus it was grade (not stage!!) 3.  Oh, and my lymph nodes were involved; no word of a lie, my notes say my lymph nodes are involved - like they are part of some nasty little gang causing havoc around my boob and arm pit!

6 days ago I was told that on top of everything else, I am HER2 positive.

In 24 hours, I will be having a CT scan to see if anything else in my body is "involved".

And in 15 days, I'll find out what happens next.

 

None of this is part of the plan

  • I said the same thing...this wasn't in the plan. Gentle hugs - I know EXACTLY how you're feeling.I'm HER2 too. It usually means chemo as they like to give you Herceptin and that can only be administered via chemo. 

    You can do this!
