Hi. Im 54 my mammogram was clear last April but 7 weeks ago I found a lump in my breast then another under the armpit.
People said its not cancer because its sore...Bullocks [ pardon my french] its stage 3 cancer and in the lymph nodes.
Ive just had a ct scan so still playing the waiting game. They need to see if spread anywhere else..
The waiting is killing me. Trying to stay positive but been pulled from my hrt meds and well going cold turkey on those is a killer. I cry even when I dont want to
I wondered once we get the call for the results how long before they start treatment? Days weeks?
Also sorry another question she side surgery or chemo first. Is there anything I can do to help with the chemo? Any top tips greatfully recieved.
