hello
I am freshly diagnosed with a small lump near my left nipple and its affected the nipple and it has gone to some lymph nodes. Had a CT scan 2 days ago and the results will be back next week when I will know the final verdict.
I have gone into a catatonic state and feel numb and I am not reacting to the big Cancer news..worried when I finally see the reality..
