Hi
I m new here, went to consultant appointment last week for a lump in my left breast. They performed a mammogram and ultrasound which revealed the painful lump I had been feeling. They took biopsy’s from the lump and confirmed it’s definitely not a cyst.
the consultant was honest and said he thinks it’s a breast cancer but have to wait for biopsy results but there was talk of lumpectomy and radiotherapy. I m stunned really, lost my sister 4.5 years ago to pancreatic cancer at the same age I am now (43) I m actually terrified, I ve 2 children and a husband to care for as well as keeping my sister’s memory alive and giving to her 3 children.
awaiting my appointment this week - it’s been the longest weekend. Telling family and close friends has been hard and I am actually dreading telling my children 12 and 14 as they will be scared I ll die like my sister. I m trying to think positive but it’s hard
Hi Pops39
Welcome and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and that you lost your sister to cancer 4.5 years ago. While it's easy for me to say breast cancer is really treatable these days and you will be well looked after by your medical team. I was diagnosed with Triple negative breast cancer last September and after treatment I am now in remission.
Wishing you the best of luck with your appointment and with whatever treatment your oncologist has in mind for you.
Best wishes
