I just wanted to say hi. I'm probably going to be lurking around for a while as I'm waiting for my biopsy results. All I know at the moment is I have a rather large mass in my left breast and according to my mammogram and ultrasound scan it's not gone into my lymph nodes ... Yet.
I found my lump 3 weeks ago and since then it's grown so much that my breast has gone from a B cup to a C cup.
I've now got about a 2 week wait for the biopsy results. I won't lie that I'm scared. I've got 3 teenagers and a toddler. The oldest teenager and the youngest teenager has additional needs, the middle teenager has just started his GCSE exams and my toddler is also expected of having additional needs. Plus we run our own business so life is hectic enough without this.
I'm showing the world a warrior attitude and cracking jokes but I'm absolutely terrified. So anyway that's my story so far. If anyone has any helpful tips or tricks I would certainly appreciate it. In the meantime time I shall be learning from all the discussion topics.
Thank you in advance
It can be a bit difficult to navigate this when you first start here but it gets easier as you get used to it. It is a fantastic source of info and comfort. I actually called the helpline today for bit of advice and they was absolutely fantastic. It's so nice to know that you can call specialist nurses etc and just chat to them about all sorts. You are definitely not alone ️
Hi .. so saw consultant today , he said MRI doesn’t show anything other than the calcification in duct , I need another biopsy to work out where duct ends then I’ll have an op to remove duct .
I saud just remove what you want , as long as I’m alive !
I feel grateful it’s not worse but don’t like to tempt fate …
thank you for your support ..
I don’t feel as full of fear as yesterday and will hopefully sleep tonight !!
