Hello, I'm glad I found this group. I was diagnosed with breast cancer back in August 2024, after going through a mammogram, radioactive seeding and biopsy I was scheduled for surgery in October, and it was cancelled at the absolute last minute - literally as I as being heeled towards the theatre doors. Apparently the Anethetist had spotted mention of a heart condition in my notes and didn't want to continue without approval from the cardiac department. I finally had my operation 6 days before Christmas. Lumpectomy and removal of sentinel lymph node. Histology examined the tissue taken from around the lymph nodes and found more cancer as the blooming thing had spread. On New Year's Eve I had notification that I was being referred to Oncology, to be honest I don't know why, or what it means, or what they'll do - if any of you are able to explain I would be very grateful. I was told I would hear from Oncology within 12 weeks, it's now been five, nearly six weeks so it should be soon. The waiting is a killer.
