I had believed my surgeon had told me papillary cancer and having read up was reassured that it was not likely to have spread to lymph nodes and was very treatable. On Friday my letter came - and it stated invasive ductal micropapillary cancer. Foolishly I looked it up and terrified myself. I had felt that I had a good chance of beating this but feel the rug has been pulled. As it’s weekend I’m unable to speak to my BCN.this is such a different prognosis and I’m so scared. I know I should wait till after my surgery this Thursday but I’m feeling panic and at a bit of a loss.
