I dont even know what my question is..
I got a lump out and thought nothing of it. The ultrasound and GP kind of indicated it was in the skin not the breast tissue. So when I got a call to go back to surgeon a little earlier, I thought ...

So sorry you are going through this, it's super scary and the unknowns make it even worse. I had absolutely no signs or symptoms and mine was picked up in a regular mammogram in September and i had a lumpectomy at the end of October. So yes it all happened so quickly and it's quite overwhelming.
In a way i was happy it happened quickly, but it was certainly confusing and overwhelming - the amount of information you receive its unbelievable (great of course, but OMG there is so much!). For me i personally 'felt' like everything was going to be ok, so i tried not to stress too much and just trust my surgeon and breast care nurse.
Make sure you take someone with you to all appointments for support, and also for another set of ears to help soak in all the information. Try and stay positive and not think of worst case situation, i know it's hard, but you need to focus on getting your body through this and reaching a positive outcome at the end.
I had lumpectomy (and reduction in both breasts), followed by 3 weeks of radiation therapy and happy to now be on the other side of this horrible journey, although still suffering side affects and all. Talk to your professionals, family or friends who have gone through this, or even via here to be completely anonymous. It's better to ask questions than be wondering or googling and getting conflicting information. Just remember, so many people are going through this and having very positive outcomes and living long and happy lives, try to be positive xx
