First diagnosis and the waiting game
I wondered if anyone had the same experience as me. I was told my the GP that I had cancer over the phone. Apart from letting me know that it was an invasive ductal carcinoma she wasn't able to give ...
Since seeing the surgeon I was given the details to breast cancer nurse who was great and very helpful and I have been in touch with a lovely Med Onc specialist so at the moment I am where anyone else would be. It was just the initial treatment that really hurt.
I guess I had a bad GP. She was someone from a medical centre and I went to her as I thought I had mastitis so wasn't too concerned about whom I saw. I no longer see her but boy I wouldn't wish it on anyone to deal with that the way I had to.
Now I am just getting my head around having a baby a month early, hoping that she will be ok and then in 2 weeks from now I have the lumpectomy and axilliary clearance and then like you said get the proper biopsy report on the whole thing and see what the future holds.
Very scary time all around.
Thank you for your replies ladies.
