Hi ....after an urgent referral to the 'one stop' breast clinic, an ultrasound, 2 mammograms, core biopsy and MRI scan...I have my first breast surgeon appointment tomorrow.

I have beed diagnosed with Grade 3 invasive breast cancer of no special type which I understand is the most common breast cancer.

There is a suggestion breast conserving surgery is possible (tumour measured at 27mm) due to having biggish boobies.

In my 40s and premenopausal.

Not sure what to be expecting in this appointment to be fair.

Anyway just wanted to say hi.

    Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer.  Your surgeon will talk you through your options and might also give you a date for your surgery.

    Wishing you the best of luck with your appointment.

    Best wishes

  • hi CG,

    welcome, sorry you are here.

    Yours sounds similar to me, samish size, was diagnoses in March, had surgery April, have just had 2nd surgery to clean up one edge.

    i assume first appt will be to talk about the surgery dates and what to expect after, sign forms, and give you the results of the biopsy.

    mine was a day surgery, home same day, i was a bit achy with the first but I think i had a bad bra, best advice is get a good support bra from M&S or somewhere that sells them. holds you close, i had one for second surgery it was much better.

    best of luck with appt

  • Thanks for the advices.

    Daisy53 you were right..I'm booked in for a lumpectomy,  lymph nodes and mammoplasty for my left breast on 26.6.23.  I have a couple of other appointments between now and then...been told will be left very uneven but will have to wait at least a year before the right breast can be done. Definitely will be having radiotherapy but no mention of chemo at this time.

    Feeling very nervous about what is ahead of me.
