Hi everyone .. Was happily getting on with life and then things all turned upside down - went for a routine screening to be told I have breast cancer - I am grateful that it was discovered but petrified of what lies ahead
diagnosed with invasive lobular cancer - ER+ HERS- , large tumour , 1 lymph node also has cancer - upcoming surgery ( in 10 days time ) mastectomy with DIEP reconstruction and a node clearance.
Feel as if have spent the last 2-3 weeks consistently in hospitals getting scans and test - feeling pretty overwhelmed !!
Still aboard the emotional rollercoaster whilst trying to understand all the information being given to me !!
Think i have come to terms with the mastectomy and reconstruction - however not convinced about a complete lymph node clearance - very worried about this - anyone else had this ? Is this the only option ?
