Well I got my results Mucinous Grade 2. Oestrogen receptor positive, HER2 negative.
Monday (30.03. 26) I go in for surgery, a Wire-guided localized quadrantectomy, lumpectomy and mammoplasty. 3-4 week wait for results and if all positive then should progress towards a treatment plan (radiotherapy). I've also had genetics testing carried out - results in 6 weeks, which I guess could change everything.
I'm fluctuating between calm/numb and a complete wreck, as the surgery date gets nearer I can feel my anxiety levels are growing by the day.
I started preparing my overnight bag today and ended up in tears, it's so hard doing this on my own.
Hi Djf
Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum. I'm sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. What you are feeling is perfectly natural particularly as you are doing it on your own. I know that thoughts of surgery is scary but you will find the nursing staff very friendly and supportive.
I've had breast cancer twice and both times I came through surgery all right.
Wishing you the best of luck with your surgery next Monday.
Best wishes

Daisy thank you for taking the time to reply. I'm so sorry you had to go through this journey twice. This is my second time too, 14 years ago I had DCIS , left breast mastectomy with implant and right breast reduction. Thankfully then I didn't need any treatment after surgery. 14 years of annual checks which were all thankfully clear, then this news came like a bolt of lightning.
I'm trying so hard to keep positive and give myself pep talks - you can do this, it will be ok, this has to be done!
