Hey everyone,
I hope your all doing as we as you can be in the big C club x
I'm back....not really where I thought so soon to be
It has been 18 month's since my breast biopsy, 14 month's since being discharged with the all clear. Why 4 Months on I was still being looked after by the cancer hospital??
Well my biopsy didnt go great, I had an internal bleed, site infection and internal damage mainly effecting the Lymphnodes on my best chest near my arm..so I had to stay under the team for a while and was told this is going to be an issue now! This will take long long time to heal.
Over the past year i have had the odd swell, due to carrying shopping...sigh.
Then November 2023 I noticed a more permante swell in my nodes, decide to just watch and monitor
Then it changed, i started feeling very itchy, night sweats and a cough that hasn't gone in 8 weeks.
The day before Christmas Eve...boom...i could feel swelling happening under my jumper...that tingle then ache.
My lymphnode is now swollen, painful and not going away and is now sticking out more from my chest armpitt area.
So off to the GP on the 2nd I went, all was not right! It feels like an infection...but the GP refused any treatment.
My 5 year old was present, and she just said i can't throw around certain words and smiled at me. I say yes of course my daughter, oh!
So i am now on the 2 week pathway refferal back to Cancer hospital land, to see what is going on & possible biopsy again..great i did soo well from the last one.
Im not gutted or awfully sad or scared this time round, I think i kind of know what it could be as it's lymphnodes but god I do hope it isn't breast cancer. Not after being told I had a benign tumor!
I will be very cross if it is, 18 months has gone by!!!
I do feel lymphoma H is more where this can be heading now, and if so...the biopsy injuries caused it.
I am not happy, this should not be going on 18 months later. Its effecting my work, I can't earn for my family overall I feeling pretty pissed at the hospital that damaged me.
I'm back to not sleeping again with the subcon worry i guess i am worried, i guess im abit gutted.
But I am not scared! I can do this...
Sorry it's abit of a moan sarcastic post, that's just me feeling fed up & trying to laugh at myself.
