I was diagnosed last August 2017 when I got called back for another mammogram. Wasn’t unduly concerned and I had no lump that I could feel and thought it was probably just routine. DH went with me and we spent the best part of the morning at the Luton/Dunstable Breast Clinic. I cannot thank or praise these nurses and doctors there enough. The doctor kept ordering more mammograms as she could see a lump from one angle and then not at another!! Finally said there was a lump and had biopsies on lump and lymph nodes to be sent for analysis. I was told there and then it was cancer!!! Did not need to wait for biopsy the doctor knew.
Referred to St Margaret’s at Epping, Essex and received appointment to attend (when we were actually away in Spain) which we definitely needed at the time. Attended appt with consultant and told more scans and MRI to be done. Attended more appts for these and went back to consultant to be told lymph nodes were clear however, 2nd lump found. Big relief really as I know lymph nodes are the real baddies!! Went into hospital for Lumpectomy in October, in as a day case and sent home in the evening with drain. Back for results when consultant advised surgery went well (pause) but 3 /4 lymph nodes diagnosed. Not good. 
Had lymph node removal in Dec 2017. Total 8/14 diagnosed.
So that meant chemo and radiation for me as previously was only going to be radiation!!
I love knitting and also have a small shop on ebay selling wool etc. This keeps me busy and takes my mind off things (cancer!!)
I do still work however, signed off for the forseeable future!!!
