Hi everyone, this is my first time posting. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, following a mamogram & ultra sound. Core biopsies taken from left breast & armpit. Awaiting results on Friday 10th July. Can see on NHS app notes that the lump is at least 4cm, was told during biopsy that I have some thickening in lymph nodes. Apologies if my terminology is wrong.
I have been reading through some posts on here & obviously don't understand all the terminology (yet). Very anxious about the results & possibility that it has spread into my lymph nodes. Just wondering what to expect next with regards to treatment plan
Feeling lost, overwhelmed & a little numb to be honest. Trying not to panic.
Thanks for reading if you got to the end, any advice would be very much appreciated x
