But not a very patient one!
I've at least got a diagnosis, it's invasive ductal cancer grade 2, but still small, oestrogen receptive but looks as if I might get away with the lymph nodes....and maybe not too much treatment afterwards?
Complex plan, but to begin with, a sentinel node (plus another one or so) removal as day surgery, (a nuclear medicine visit first to get 'the jab' for them to trace) then a gap while that, plus the HER result come back, then because of my previous surgeries for cysts and the fact one resulted in a massive haematoma, therefore scar tissue, I will have a complete mastectomy with an implant. That will be immediately after Easter.
By finding out as much as possible beforehand, the surgeon hopes to prevent too many operations. Obviously I will then need Tamoxifen or similar, so will appreciate helpful advice about that.
But I'd be interested on anyone's 'take' on her plan. I feel reassured that she took time with me, and the BC nurse afterwards spent a good while too.

What a difference a few hours makes, from wet to glorious sunny morning! Our view across the countryside from the cottage. Woken by noisy Oystercatchers flying around this morning (don't they ever sleep?!)

Today was specially for hubs, he has done a steam train driving day in the past, and just loves trains! So we took the steam train from Holt to Sheringham, had a good walk around and lunch in Sheringham and then a different steam train back. He loved it, and we enjoyed chatting to the volunteers who man the trains too.
