Hi there - I have been hovering in the wings since my diagnosis, and I am already grateful to this group for the support I have seen and the questions that have been answered, so I thought it was time to join you.
I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer, which is oestrogen & progesterone receptor positive, but HER2 negative. One biopsied lymph node was also positive for cancer. I am between mammograms and picked up one lump myself, then the second one was discovered at my first appointment. I went expecting “nothing to worry about” to having mammograms, ultrasound and biopsies, then the news that it was very likely to be cancer. Then the waiting, that feels like forever, but now my surgery is booked in for 3rd December (lumpectomies and some of the lymph nodes). After the initial shock, I am now relieved to be booked in for surgery - although very nervous. Trying to take one step at a time, but also overthinking everything!
