Hi
just had the news yesterday that I have breast cancer. I’m a mess. Cannot stop crying but know I need to get a grip as not told children yet.
Had routine mammogram which picked something up, so got called in for further checks. Had ultrasound and they thought it was a cyst so tried to aspirate fluid. Could not get anything out so did biopsy. Results were not in for 1st call last Tuesday but they called yesterday and asked me to come back in. I asked had they found something and she said she could tell me as much or as little as I liked. I asked to know what they knew so she told me results have come back showing cancer. 13mm, I asked was it due to me taking hrt and she said that was something we would need to discuss but that I would need to stop it at some stage - they got chucked straight into the bin! She said it’s something to do with oestrogen and said something else but that’s completely gone from my head right now. I do remember her saying it’s the good cancer or something along those lines? I
got appointment Friday for ultrasound to check lymph nodes, chat to nurse then meet consultant.
everything’s up in the air and I’m spiralling. Scared to tell daughters as they both got mocks (gcse and levels) coming up. Scared about the future. Got holiday booked for august which we now probably not going to be able to go on. Self employed so worried about income and treatment.
Sorry for such a long rant, I am normally such a strong, level headed person.
