Dear all, 

Hope you all well sadly yesterday as I went to do a mammogram and untrasound, end up doing a biopsy too.(A bit sore this morning). They found cancer in the lump of my right chest.

They are yet to  decide what type /stage it is but it measure around. 1.75cm (so I belive early stage , cross fingers) they also found other cells they want to check...

I will go back in the 18 when they will let me know. And tell me my options. But it is defenetly cancer.

I went alone as Im not having many people to rely one (also choise).

I don't want to be alone in this, as I'm fed up of battling things pretending that I'm strong and I can do things all by myself.

I need to recognise I need help.

Thank you for listening ... feel free to check my profile  Blush

  • Hello to you, sorry to hear you have had the bc diagnosis, as you say hopefully early stage. You have your date for next appointment so hopefully they will be able to tell you your treatment plan and that may help to ease your mind even a little.

    You have made the first step in reaching out on this forum, so you don’t have to feel alone. Many here will be able to offer advice to you should you want it resulting from their own experiences.

    We all need help at some stage, continue to vent your feelings or questions here.

    Sending good wishes x

    Hi, sorry to hear you too... I will as it was a bit of a shock and it might be wise as they going to tell me more about it and about the other bits they were concern about. I feel a bit of in a daze.  I hope you are receiving support too.  Update me with your appointment findings etc.

    Yes that's a good idea I had weird calcium stuff going on in my right breast but not in my left. So I had more tests almost all were painless . Went for a double mastectomy after finding out but that was my choice   I can't go through this again. I'm older 64  than some  of the  ladies on here so that may have infulanced my decision with surgery. Finding out about cancer is difficult I have had to find strength that I didn't know I had. The young and older people on here have filled me with strength . I don't think that without them I would have done so well. Keep in touch you are not alone one day soon we will all be well.
