Ok hi im kerryanne and im 37 married mum off one. Last friday my doctor told me he thinks I have breast cancer situated in or around my nipple my world crumbled I had my daughter with me and thank every god that she had her headphones on . Today I got a phone call giving me my appoitment date and my consultant name at the kent and canterbury breast unit. I feel like im living a nightmare waiting for tests and results ive also told my family thankfully my mum is comimg with me but my dads driving just incase its bad news he said. My gusband wont let me do anything and he wont admit hia scared like I am my daughter seems to be the only one handling it well she says its a cysts and not cancer but my gp thinks different. I prey shes right but it hurts the pain goes from my nipple all tbe way under my arm pit and the discharge is driving me nuts day one nearly over only 12 days to appoitment the countdown begins

    The waiting around in the worse bit. I went with a lump 4 mammogram and 2 needle biopsy later I was told it was cancer but contained. Had to get a core biopsy done and had to wait two weeks for the results that was the longest two weeks. I have 3 boys they kept me entertained. Three weeks later I had a lump removed and back then for more result to be told it hadn't worked and now it's a mastectomy and reconstruction. Have seen all the specialist now just waiting on a date. It's all very scary but have a good family and friends behind you that helps alot
