Hi. On the 19th March I had a routine mammogram.  1st April I went for further tests at the Breast Clinic where they did further mammograms, ultrasound and biopsies. 16th April I was told that I definitely have Breast Cancer. Tomorrow, 19th April, I will see my oncologist for the first time.

I can't remember everything that was said to me on Friday, but I do know the next year is going to be hard.

I really can't believe how quickly everything has happened!!! 

  • Sorry that you are going through this it is a nightmare!! I was diagnosed on the 6th April and things have started to move quickly. It’s so difficult to take everything in !! The support from the laTwo heartses on here has helped me because I was traumatised. Things have got easier because I know that the NHS are helping me and will look after me. The care I’ve had so far has been amazing but I know I’vTwo heartsgot a long journey ahead. Wishing you all the best with your treatment and good luck for tomorrow.Lisa XTwo heartsCherry blossom

  • Thank you.

    I wish I'd taken a notebook with me on Friday, I can't remember all the details. I will definitely take one tomorrow.

    I got the impression that my chemo will start almost immediately as my 'lump' is the very aggressive type...

    Seems strange as I don't feel ill Thermometer faceCherry blossomHeartpulse

  • Sorry about your diagnosis .  There is a chemotherapy thread on here that gets started for every month so there will be one for April and then May etc.  Might help you to join the May one and chat to ladies currently undergoing chemotherapy.  It should be under diagnosis and treatment.

    Wishing you all the best with your journey x
