Hello, I'm new here and was diagnosed with IDC hers2 negative, er positive 15mm breast cancer on the 5rh of December.
Apart from an appointment to get my biopsy results and an information pack, not a lot has happened. I was told by the nurse I would be having a lumpectomy, sentinal node biopsy and radiation and hormone therapy.
I have an appointment at the breast clinic on the fifth of January. I am presuming this is to see the surgeon... the letter doesn't say anything. (apart from the three pages about covid).
I am 51, my sister died at 53 from secondaries with breast cancer and a school friend died last weekend, also from secondaries from breast cancer. The only two women I know who have had breast cancer in their early 50's have both died.
I have been quite optimistic until last weekend, now I am scared that this is all taking too long and nothing is happening and am terrified that it is spreading, even as I type. Every ache, pain, twinge is scaring me.....
Why is everything taking so long?
