Early Breast Cancer
Hi All, I was recalled for mammograms and they did biopsies and was diagnosed on 25th June (of which would have been my mothers birthday). I have a 10mm lump plus some calcifications around that area...

Hi @Agent14516,
Although I'm probably not the right person to give you any advice on what's best to do for your situation, I do want to reach out and say hi and welcome. I know how lonely and confusing those first few days can be and just having someone on the group here to talk to was a BIG help for my wife and I.
I can echo what a lot of other people will probably tell you that this first period of unknowns is the worst - once you've started talking to your team a lot of answers will come your way (maybe too many answers to begin with! Take lots of notes, or have someone go to your appointments with you) and things will start to fall into place for you. Something else that has given us a lot of encouragement is just how much treatment and statistics have improved in recent times. It's amazing how many options you have compared to just 5 - 10 years ago.
Anyway - I hope you're going OK, please reach out if you ever need to chat and don't be afraid to post here often. My experience is that this is a group of very caring and special people who will have your back 24/7.
All the best & take care!
George
