First post, can't believe this is happening
So just got out of hospital yesterday, 2 weeks after finding out the lump I found was breast cancer. The freeloaders have been removed and I'm waiting again for more results. The waiting is excruci...
Take someone with you for the appointment. If you have questions in your mind now, write them down and ask when you go. Ask for a copy of the results. If the surgeon doesn't want to be bothered giving you a copy, ask your GP to print it off for you. There is a section on bcna on how to decipher test results. Just mouse over the heading understanding breast cancer and it will give you a drop down box.
Be on your guard. When I got my results (a week earlier than scheduled and I thought it was just a quick wound inspection) it said I had lymph node involvement and the surgeon had already booked me in for a second surgery (unbeknownst to me) to remove all my underarm lymph nodes. It was a massive shock to me. I still have no idea how I got through that day. Thank Heaven I had my husband with me.
