Hi all. Only 2 days to go before I start my journey. Having a lumpectomy and partial node removals on Wednesday. Then at end of the month I shall start chemo/radiotherapy. Was doing ok but the anxiety is kicking in! My BCN said I'll more than likely end up having a complete mastectomy due to my type of cancer. Why they wouldn't do this now is beyond me but at least they are sorting it! Fingers crossed!! Xx
