@viking1 Welcome! Sorry you have found yourself here, it usually is a shock and whirlwind. 2 weeks isnt too soon, considering your diagnosis, you do need to get it taken out and get pathology done as that's more important and more definitive than the biopsies. That will determine exactly your plan. Its so so hard, as like all of us, it doesn't wait.
Ive had it twice 2011, 2015 and due to recurrence I had a single mastectomy Feb this year and diep flap reconstruction, absolutely a tough decision. It took me a year after Chemo to come to the decision so I was lucky in that I was treated and had time to think about it. I haven't looked back, it's been a hard road, but I'm 2 years clear now and reconstructed and moving on with my life.
Everything in my life came to a standstill, I was only 7 months into a new relationship and a single parent of 2 teenage kids, my whole world was torn apart, but somehow Ive come out the other side.
There are so many wonderful ladies here to offer support, so hang in there, ask away, we'll help as best we can! Hugs Melinda xo
