Hi everyone, was just diagnosed yesterday morning with a soft tissue sarcoma in my left breast, after originally being diagnosed with a ruptured cyst and told they'd see me in 6 months. By the time I received that letter the thing had doubled, so I called back up and asked to come back in. A failed attempted aspiration and a second biopsy later, different story! I'm 37, F, have a 4 year old boy and an amazing partner. Awaiting a PET and CT scan at the Royal Marsden to know more. So many questions. Terrified but putting on a hella brave face.
