I had a left breast mastectomy, implant, right side reconstruction and lymph nodes removed fourteen years ago. I've had annual check ups since then and the all clear on everyone until...
Last Tuesday they found a mass in my right breast, I had an ultrasound and biopsies taken I'm now waiting for results, due on 24th.
My consultant advised me that the measure probability on a scale of 1-5. 1 being cyst benign, 5 being cancer. Mines a 4 - high probability biopsies to confirm .
In the past five years I've lost both my father then my mother 18 months ago. I'm still travelling the road of grief ( I lived with my parents) and life has changed dramatically since their passing.
I feel like I want to crawl in to bed and just sleep, but I wake with a shaking in my body that won't stop. I'm so scared of what's to come and worried that I just don't have the strength to carry me through this journey alone.
