Hi all. I now find myself a patient too. After many years of charity work helping both parents with lung cancer. I now have TNBC tripple negative breast cancer. However that's not what I had last week as I had Her2 positive until I called asking about a symptom which is when they realised they gave me wrong diagnoses. My world has came crashing. I'm positive I have stage 1 grade 3. I have had the lumcectomy on Wednesday they wld not give me full mastectomy. I have now been tested for the BRCA mutated gene. But I want a double mastectomy and I'm hoping they do not refuse now I'm TNBC. I think I have Rab c Nisbet as my surgeon as she not only made the mis diagnoses and then gave me a diathermy burn during surgery which I'm not angry about as it is laughable. But she cld have at least owned both mistakes in apologised for them instead of blaming someone else. Right now I feel like a slab of meat on the table sorry not sure if this is what this is for so apologise in advance hope your all doing OK xx
Hi Big mamma sorry to read your post, a confused diagnosis must be so frustrating. Hope your surgery goes well, best wishes
