Hi, my name is Trish and I'm due to have surgery on 13th March. I'm having a mastectomy of my right breast. It's all happened so quickly since finding the lump on 9th February. It all came as a shock as my GP didn't think it was anything more than a cyst as it was painful. I was then told by the breast consultant that he didn't think it would be anything to worry about as cancer lumps aren't normally painful. Because mine is I'm very frightened. 

I'm not sure how long I've had this for as it's confirmed I have it in my Lymph nodes and also white specs on top of my breast are cancerous to. 

I'm having sleepless nights as I'm trying to be positive but bad thoughts keep playing over in my mind. I think it's not knowing is the worst. The waiting to see if its spread.
