Newbie here - waiting for lumpectomy, worried for the worst

Hi, sounds like it's been caught early.  My advice is to have a lovely break, try not to worry and come back from your holiday well rested and ready for surgery. Best wishes 

Thankfully the consultant said it had been caught early. I had my routine mammogram in January that came back clear. I noticed a slight identation middle of July and got it checked out. So glad for the ‘warning’ sign. 

If your holiday is abroad just make sure your travel insurance provider is aware of your diagnosis and treatment plan and confirms in writing they’ll still cover you. 

Good luck with your treatment. 

Hi Lawny6cac22 , lovely responses already, just wanted to add a hug and wish you a happy holiday! Definitely good to have a break and change of scene before your op. Your case sounds similar to mine, I used to repeat the positives to help fend off the inevitable catastrophising! (Not sure if that’s even a word but I definitely did some!) So obviously the best thing would be not to have cancer at all, but I did try to focus on: small, caught early, middle grade (mine was grade 2), oestrogen positive so was told very treatable. 
This site is great for support and shared experiences - I’m still rattling around nearly 7 years post diagnosis! Love and hugs, HFxx
