Hi everyone. I had my baby 7 weeks ago and was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks after he was born. I was referred for a lump which was thought to be a blocked milk duct - it turned out to be a cyst but by chance on the ultrasound they detected a small area which turns out is a small cancer.
I am having a lumpectomy at the end of April and then they said probably radiotherapy. They hope it is isolated and early stage but cannot get much from the other tests like MRI at this stage due to breast tissue being so dense due to pregnancy/baby.
I want to feel lucky that it was discovered and I know it could be worse but i feel resentful about it happening especially when ive just had baby and am trying to deal with/enjoy that. Im also anxious about not being able to look after my son after the operation and radiotherapy and side effects. Also been told I'll need medication for 10 years.
Is there anyone with similar experience or advice? X
