I have been in remission since first Breast Cancer Lumpectomy Radiation waaay back in 2013.
After discolouration on opposite breast and visits to GP who initially declared mastitis then a week later after strong antibiotics didn't achieve anything referred me to hospital.
My breast clinic appointment was today (I was one of the first patients and went into the clinician room at 8.12 - After being prodded, oked, marmalised in a cement mixer, very long ultrasound in a fixed position for what seemed hours, mammograms, then multiple biopsies taken then more mammograms.
After a long wait my daughter and I were called into the original clinicians room. I was told I have a lump which looks to be cancer but they are concerned with really angry lymph nodes.
She said they think I have more than one type of cancer running!!
The clinician said they need to wait for biopsy results for diagnosis.
Then she announced they needed a different type of biopsy on the discolouration to see what that is all about which she did for me.
My poor breast is covered with various dressings and so very sore now the local anaesthetic has worn off!
i have to wait for appointment after biopsy results and the multi discipline team have made a treatment plan.
So - my friend "The Big C" has returned to challenge me in more ways than one but I've got through the challenge and beaten it before so I am determined to beat these new challenges again!
I am annoyed that this has happened on such a special year but I will deal with it!
(I need to - I have a new granddaughter arriving in April and my daughter is getting married in May!)
