Good morning, thanks for accepting my request. I don't really know where to start. I had a fall back in November and landed on my boob. It instantly bruised and turned into a lump. I went to the GP and they confirmed a hematoma but to go back in 6 weeks if it hadn't gone away. 8/9 weeks later I went back because it hadn't fully gone away - there was still 4cm lump there.
They referred me straight to the breast clinic and within 2 weeks I was seen, the consultant assessed and sent me for an ultrasound again it was confirmed to be a hematoma and I would be re measured in 6 weeks to ensure it had reduced and have a biopsy if it hasn't. 2 weeks later I received a phone call to ask me to go for a biopsy the following week to "dot the i's and cross the t's"
10 days later I had a phone call "my results were available and the consultant wanted to see me in 3 days"
Yesterday was the day my life changed. The Dr sat across from me and told me that at 35 years of age I had breast cancer. I have 2 beautiful children and my world is just crumbling.
It is very early and they are hopeful, I don't know the type or treatment - I have an appointment next week with oncology to discuss everything.
I suppose I'm just numb and looking for any advice. Xxx
