Hello. 

I found a lump in my right breast and went to the GP straight away. I had my 2ww appointment on 1st April and had 2 mammograms, an ultrasound and biopsies taken from my breast and under my arm. 

I was told at that appointment there is cancer in my breast and in three lymph nodes under my arm. I had a CT PET scan on the 9th to see if it has spread further. I have an appointment with the consultant this Wednesday to discuss the results of the biopsies and scan and hopefully find out what treatment I will be having. 

I’ve tried to be positive and I think everyone around me believes I’m taking it really well but I’m so scared it’s spread that I’ve convinced myself it has now. I’ve got so many aches and pains and constant ringing in my head. It’s probably all coincidental but I can’t help worry it’s a sign it’s spread.

I’m so eager for my appointment so I know what the road ahead looks like but also scared of what my future will be.
