Hi there,
I’ve recently been diagnosed with breast cancer after finding a lump along the side of my left breast. Initially felt like bone or muscle, but following a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy it was confirmed as a grade 2 tumour. Been told it hormone receptive which is a good thing? Was shocked a first and couldn’t stop shaking but was told it’s early stage and treatable with a lumpectomy and some radiotherapy and get on with my life (Drs words) so was feeling like this was just a minor blip to get through. However other calcifications were found elsewhere in the same breast, biopsy done and mri. Said they can’t be 100% sure it’s non cancerous from the sample they took so they’re getting a second opinion and I may need an mri led biopsy. If positive I think a mastectomy is needed. I’m so scared now and think I’ve just been in total denial. I couldn’t even say the word cancer at the beginning. Have only told my husband but can’t think about telling family or friends for fear it will just blow up and make it more real. Hoping to learn a bit more about the journey ahead and how others have dealt with diagnosis and treatment.
