Hi My name is Michelle,
I was diagnosed with Breast cancer on the 4th August 2021, I had a few biopsy's and an MRI scan to which they found another shadow behind the original tumour.
They couldn't get a reading off the other shadow, so in the end I opted to have the whole breast off. I know without a shadow of doubt we did the right thing.
On the 11th November I had the operation. I had to wait 4 weeks for the results and to see what the other shadow was.
It turns out it was a cancer, so we defiantly did the right thing. I also didn't have to have and Chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
I am now cancer free, and the only treatment I have is Tamoxifen tablets.
I suffer with Anxiety and depression, and I'm agoraphobic. anyway, So I don't go out on my own.
Now after the operation, I feel at a loss, I know I shouldn't but I do feel short changed, As there nothing now.
I have had the proper false silicone breast which is much better than the ones they give you in hospital.
I just feel lost and bewildered with what I've just gone through. I am grateful that I don't have to have the after treatment
Not sure I would have been strong enough to go through all of that.
Im just at a loss coming to terms with it all.... Thanks
