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.
Hello to you too, Pengu1n and sorry to meet you here. I can imagine you have very mixed feelings at the moment which are sometimes fleeting and sometimes hard to put into words. Don't hesitate to to get back in touch with us all when you are ready. The people who read these posts have a wealth of experience and information which I'm sure they would be happy to share.
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
