I had a routine mammogram and was called back for biopsies. What a surprise. I had no signs of anything. 

I got a call with the results on Wednesday this week. I have a lump in each breast. This was the second surprise. 

My treatment plan currently is two lumpectomies followed by radiotherapy both sides. I know the plan can change as needed along the way but I have a first appointment with a surgeon next Wednesday so May know more then.  

I’m not sure how I feel at the moment or what questions to ask but wanted to say hello anyway.

    Hi Pengu1n 

    I had two lumps one in each breast don't worry too much that it's two. I was convinced that this was the worst news but it's not .  One of  the biggest fears for women is that after treatment they will get a lump in their other breast and for me I don't have that worry now and I'm going to have chemotherapy which can zap any left over cells two cancers one Chemo !  

    Take care
