Hello,
I was diagnosed with breast cancer on Friday. I didn't have a lump but just sensed something not right. I have 3 areas of lobular cancer in one breast. I am 43 and it is hormone reactive. They are going to remove the breast within the next 3 weeks. Initially it looks as though it might not be in lymph nodes, consultant is having a meeting with oncologist about whether to offer radiotherapy or just tablets to stop estrogen.
I knew that it was cancer as the consultant at initial meeting seemed quite concerned and they took 3 biopsies and organised MRI very quickly. I was as high as a kite with relief on Friday as that waiting period is so awful and I really thought the worst! When they said my breast could be removed and perhaps just have tablets I thought well it's the best bad news it could be. My husband is very upset and thought I was acting very strangely!! I've come down to earth with a but of a bump now. What a rollercoaster of emotions! Now I'm worried about next meeting
We have 3 young children who are my main priority.
There isn't much a cup of tea can't fix to be honest so glad they've got that covered!
Thank you very much for your reply. It sounds like you have an excellent plan in place and I wish you all the very best.
My nurse told my husband that the blockers will bring on my menopause early and to get himself a crash helmet 
. I loved that little joke at such a horrid time.
Best wishes
