Just home from hospital after L breast resection

Hi I am also a newbie -another 1 in 8 statistic in Australia. A breast abnormality was detected during my routine mammogram. The scanner said good luck! to me as I left which I thought was odd. Sure enough 3 weeks later I was recalled for repeat scans and biopsy. Two days later I was told my biopsy showed Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Stage 1 Grade 2. I was in total shock for a few hours and luckily took a girlfriend with me. Twenty days later I had a trying day during which I had the carbon tracking procedure, then sentinal node mapping and then surgery to remove lump and sample node. I am now awating the pathology results to confirm the next steps -hopefully radiotherapy only.

Good luck hoping for a good outcome for you
Hugs xx
I had the same as you back in February, I found my lump myself, mammogram and ultrasound, core biopsy, four of those carbon tracking injections and lumpectomy . All seemed to happen very quickly and then after the lumpectomy I felt like it was ages until the results came in. Such a worrying time. Hope you've got a couple of nice things planned while you're waiting. Like you I hoped I wouldn't need chemo, but here I am almost half way through my chemo course and it hasn't been too bad at all.
Take care and hope results are good . Big hugs xxxx
Where you are now is the absolute pits. Waiting for results sucks big time. But once they're through you'll get a treatment plan and things get easier from there. You'll settle into a routine. Do let us know how you get on.
I was very angry for the first few weeks, then very upset for many more. It's good to cry and rage, let those emotions flow. Breathe, put one foot in front of the other, take it one day at a time. Be kind to yourself and accept all offers of help! Hang in there. K xox
