Had my hospital appointment this morning, had 2 biopsies taken, a clip inserted into my breast, 2 mammograms and scan... Feel sick, the initial swollen lump I found which has been confirmed as lymph nodes looks ok but they found a sinister lump underneath it, which doesn't look good they mentioned the C word... have to wait for the biopsies results..in the meantime A Macmillan nurse is going to call me Monday and the consultant will be having a meeting on Friday to discuss what's what then I'll be asked to go in to see what's happening and what my options are the following Tuesday... I was not expecting this... now I'm worried about how far its developed and obviously the outcome...

All the best with this.

I went in to the “Ore stop breast clinic with a 1.2 cm lump making a slight concave spot below my nipple. The radiologist who scanned my breast after I’d had the mammogram said that the lump was a concern and ought to come out but the extent and order of my treatment would be determined initially by the results of the biopsy he was about to do. It was hard waiting for the results, but once I had them, and the plan, life was easier even though the results came back to show it was grade 3, ER 8/8 with a high proliferation index. It was HER2 neutral so surgery was first and we went from there..

As I say having the plan helped me enormously and although the first surgery established it had spread into 2 sentinel nodes I’ve been glad to have the treatment to discuss and focus on at each stage,
