Hi Everyone
I was diagnosed with breast cancer 1 week ago having found a lump and being referred to the rapid access breast clinic. All a bit of a whirlwind but now I feel as though I am in a void.
The Consultant said that it would take 3 weeks to get the biopsy results which would be discussed by the MDT and followed up with an appointment to discuss the treatment plan. I’d probably feel better if I knew when I’ll know, perhaps I’m just being impatient. We decided that we wouldn’t tell the family, friends or work colleagues anything until we know the plan but it’s hard trying to maintain an air of normality.
I’m a very young and fit 73 years old so on the one hand feel lucky that this is happening now not many years ago but on the other hand am a bit concerned about whether my age will limit any treatment.
Lots of jigsaw puzzles, dog walking and knitting going on at the moment
