Hi, not sure how to write this, as it doesn’t seem real!
It All started with a visit to the GP on the 3/4/25 with a rash on my chest, GP check my breasts and sent a referral over to the breast clinic. Later that day I got an appointment for the 9/4/25, off I went to the clinic and had my first mammogram and then had to go back in for another one and then an ultrasound which DR H. Found a legion in my left breast and lots of calcium build up. So I ended up having two biopsy that day. I’d already convinced myself the outcome wasn’t going to be good.
I was booked in for May for the results, but I got a phone call from the clinic on the 16/4/25 asking me to attend the next day. So off I went on the 17/4/25 at 09:30am with my husband. Got called in and was told I have a grade two legion in my left breast and it’s cancer and hormones and the second biopsy I had about the calcium, they need a bigger amount, so that’s what I’m having done tomorrow 24/4/25.
I am confused about it all, the DR hasn’t told me anything just passed it over to the cancer nurse, who is amazing, has my husband started crying and she calmed him down. I haven’t show any emotions.
I don’t know what’s going to happen.
Hi NanniePeanut and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022 so have a good idea how you're probably feeling right now. Once all the results are in you'll have an appointment with a breast consultant who will talk you through your various options, so not having spoken to a doctor yet isn't anything to worry about.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
