On the roller coaster
Hi everyone. Waiting for my biopsy results. Left breast with one huge 6cm and few smaller ones. Ultrasound showed no lymph nodes affected. So as I’m trying to prepare.

Confused.
Evening all... so I have been through all the shitty tests/scans and waiting. I have had my right mastectomy with apparently clear margins. 6/14 nodes involved.
