I was diagnosed with IDC, oestrogen and progesterone + HER2 low. I have had surgery which included 2 nodes being removed. The nodes looked fine on ultrasound however needed to be tested. I have my follow up appointment a week today.
It has all moved very quickly, from being told I was in theatre within 6 days. The plan, hopefully depending on pathology, is for radiotherapy.
Im feeling very detached from it all, it is like it is happening to someone else. I am feeling quite anxious about the appointment and am trying not to think about it.
