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.

moomy hope son and his hubby test negative soon. Good you’re at daughters after feeling so stressed. There’s a lot of viruses going about, including Covid. We had a nasty virus last month, lasting a few weeks. I can’t believe it’s Christmas this weekend. I’ve not felt particularly festive this year. I’ve yet to make my wreath and put mams little tree up. Think that’s going to be on Saturday the pace I’m going at. My favourite day was the Solstice yesterday ... Spring is on its way.
Wishing you and your family a peaceful Yuletide
