Hi there I was told 2 days ago I have breast cancer by the surgeon I saw at the breast clinic based solely on a mammogram and ultrasound. I had a biopsy of my underarm and lump taken at the clinic and I get those results next Monday. I suppose I’m concerned at how he could state that (quite bluntly to the point where the breast nurse told him to stop and then she took over) without biopsy results and I guess I’m hoping he’s made a mistake. Is it normal for them to diagnose like that? I know they’ve lots of experience and know what they’re looking for but it just seems a bit unusual. I’m 44 and always been in really good health with no family history. Hoping someone can help with good advice
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to read that you've just been told that you have breast cancer and it's natural that you should have lots of questions.
I can see that you've already found and joined the breast cancer group and I'm sure you'll find it's a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support. To save you typing this out again you could copy and paste it into a new post in the breast cancer group.
When you feel up to it, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
