My mammogram was missed - last one 2016. Which is, in a way, good. If it had been done when due, it would have been too early to find anything. The next one would have been end of 2022, by which time my tumour would be a lot bigger.
Diagnosed Dec 21, 4 weeks later I had lumpectomy and Sentinel nodes removed Jan 12th. Cancer cells found in one of the nodes. ER8, PR5 HER2 negative. Due to have radiotherapy, hormone treatment and possibly Chemotherapy.....really hoping I won't have chemo.
Still find it really strange to be told I have cancer. I am not stressed.....my usual saying applies " it is what it is" Just moving forward as best I can.
I work in a GP surgery as an HCA......I have clinics where I meet loads a patients - many with various forms of cancer - so I think that might explain my "laid back" approach. No doubt there will be times where I want to fall and crumble but hopefully I will deal with those 
Hi Patsysmash
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. What a great attitude you have. Hopefully you won't have to have chemo but if you do while I won't say it's easy it is doable. There is a chemo thread on this forum which you can look at and ask for help if you like. This is the link: https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_types/december-2021-january-february-2022-breast-cancer-chemo/
Wishing you the best of luck with the rest of your treatment when it starts.
Best wishes

Hi Daisy53
Thankyou for your reply. Its nice to know that people do read the posts and understand what we are going through
Hi Irishgirl19
Thanks for your email.
I have now just had my post op consultation and so pleased that no Chemotherapy is required. Just radiotherapy and hormone treatment
I am in rather a lot of pain due to a seroma on my SNB scar and its affecting my arm too. In all honesty I think I caused this.
I was signed off work until 13th Feb, but in my wisdom I decided I am fine and went back Jan 25th. I work in a GP surgery and have clinics. I think I have definitely overdone things ie. Movement. Now my scar, which was healing perfectly, has become inflammed, hence the fluid / seroma.
The moral I believe, is in certain circumstances, ie.surgery, do what you are told/advised.....not what you think
Best wishes

So pleased to read the result of your appointment. Onwards and upwards 
When you're going through hell, don't stop!
Thankyou Brainybunch
I think its the only way to be. I know everyone reacts differently.....no way is right or wrong.
I think for me, maybe I need to listen just a little more 
There is probably a really good reason for certain advice
