Good afternoon I was diagnosed with breast cancer end of January I had found a lump under my left breast a few months before but just sort it was some
sort of bone sticking out by January it had got a lot bigger so I went to doctors he fast tracked me for diagnosis.
At my meeting with the consultant she confirmed it was breast cancer she informed me on my CT scan they found lesions in liver my lung and chest bone
so I would need to have a PET scan this I had but the scan could not confirm if lesion in liver was cancerous I had an MRI scan All results finally came back
and thankfully the cancer had not spread.
On Friday 13th March I had a mastectomy and 19 lymph nodes removed 14 being cancerous I had to go back twice to have breast area drained
because of fluid build at my post operation check with my consultant it was decided I should have chemotherapy,radiation treatment then hormone
tablets I would like to say how fantastic my surgeon consultant and the nurses at Milton Keynes Hospital have been .
On Friday I go for my first session of chemotherapy at this stage I am very nervous at the pre chemo checks you are told about the side effects and
how bad they could I keep reading about them as well How worried should I be
