Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I was having a bad day that day...being told it was a grade 3 tumor was just as big a shock as the original diagnosis I think. I have spoken to my Breast care nurse again and was told that the tumor was laying on the capsule surrounding the implant and the implant was in the way of taking out more tissue during surgery. So they are going to go back in and remove the implant and take more tissue of the surrounds and capsule. I'm assuming there wont be much left of the breast but skin and nipple...but its my skin and nipple so I'll take it. Its the 2 weeks wait that is messing with my head even though I'm working like a demon and trying to keep busy. It helps a lot to talk out my thoughts on here. Sometimes I'm overwhelmed with the need to talk about it all to someone. Thank you all so much.
