Hello all.
Last year I had treatment for breast cancer. Grade 3, lymph nodes clear and 27mm tumour. Lumpectomy, OncotypeDX of 1 followed by 9 rounds of radiotherapy. I’m also taking meds to eradicate oestrogen.
On the 7th March my hairdresser noticed a lesion on my scalp so the next day I managed to get an appointment at the local surgery with a medical professional. They took a photo and saw one of the GPs for a second opinion who suspected melanoma.The outshot of this was that a 2WW referral was made. I understand the system has changed but heading towards three weeks since referral and the anxiety of waiting for an appointment is not good.
I can see that I have a lot to learn about this beast. I’d got quite knowledgeable about ER positive breast cancer but am a total novice here. I have no idea how long the lesion had been lurking as, due to shocking hair and vanity, I have a sewn in hair system which is totally removed every six months. So now I am anxiously awaiting an appointment for an expert opinion.
I’m sincerely hoping that this will be a brief visit in this forum, but I like to be prepared
