I found out last Tuesday that it was a 99% chance that I have breast cancer (waiting on the biopsy results) and I have been given an appointment for Thursday to discuss a treatment plan. Is there anything that I should be asking?  I know that I want a double mastectomy given that I have quite a few cysts n the other breast and want to eliminate any further risk. 

Thanks for any advice anyone can give me.

  • Things moved very quickly for me. Like you they didn’t confirm but they were 95% sure.

    I had appointment following week and it was confirmed. Think your treatment will depend on what kind of breast cancer it is ( who knew there were so many different types) 

    My next appointment was with oncologist and she was great and explained everything and because I refused chemo, next appointment was with surgeon, lumpectomy followed and luckily nothing in my lymph nodes. I start radiotherapy in a couple of weeks and hopefully that will eradicate any other cells that may be there.

    i would have had mastectomy if surgeon had thought it necessary but he didn’t and is happy that he has got all the cancer 

    hope all goes well for you 

  • Thank you for that,  hope your radiotherapy goes well x
