Breast lump and possible lymph node 

When to breast clinic yesterday after finding a lump. It measures 2cm. On ultrasound,  Doctor says she is strongly concerned,  so did biopsies, with markers,  and also noticed a swollen lymph node. I did mention that I had recently had my 2and covid vaccine,  so said hopefully the node was probably a symptom of that. The doctor at the ultrasound kept saying, do you understand, what we are saying to you? Said I must bring someone with me, for results which is mon 7th June.

    I didn’t have a drain in at all as surgeon didn’t put one in after surgery but they drained it using a needle. I still have days it doesn’t seem real and then some odd days I don’t even think about it. My family are worried and upset but keeping positive for me. I am sleeping well now my swelling has gone. How are you sleeping?

    Take care x

  • Hi Batsycar

    Hope you get a date for your operation soon. 

    There’s a family and friends group that your husband might be interested in joining to get support from others in a similar position to himself.

    Take care.

    Best wishes

    Got a voicemail this morning saying not all my lab work had been done or received and so they were rescheduling my appointment to next Thursday. 

    I'm absolutely devastated.  I had been holding it together ready for whatever today would bring. 

    Now I hate somehow psych myself up n hold it together for another 8 days....

    I'm exhausted as it is...
