Hi. I’ve just been told i have stage 2 breast cancer. I found a lump in my breast but the GP was more concerned about the lump in my armpit - I didn’t know that was there. I had Mammogram, a 3D Mammogram and an ultrasound and they were all clear. But I went ahead and had a biopsy of the lump in my arm pit. I then went onto have a MRI then another ultrasound. After nearly 3months of tests and waiting for results. I’ve been told I have cancer in my breast and lymph nodes. I’m due in for surgery next week to have a Lumpectomy and all the lymph nodes removed. I’m so scared. I’ve stopped all HRT and had my coil removed, which doesn’t help as all my menopause symptoms are returning and everything feels so overwhelming. I’m terrified I’ll have to have chemo and lose my hair - I have long hair and that’s my comfort blanket. I keep wanting to cry but am really trying to be brave. Thank you for taking the time to read xxx
