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
