It's all happening very fast....
My name is Sam. I am 45 years old and one week ago I was diagnosed with grade one lobular carcinoma in my right breast, a 12mm lump. I've been told I've caught it early, it's small and not aggressive...

Genetics are funny like that. If you test positive, you've probably inherit it from your dad. That said, we don't actually understand altogether that much about familial cancer. Your whole mother's side may pass along a gene mutation that hasn't been identified yet. It's all so complicated. But it's nobody's fault.
If you've heard "small and not aggressive" that's what it means. I had that exact same fear, I even said to my partner "I swear it's bigger now!" but between discovery and surgery it hadn't changed. It's not a silly thing to worry about, I suspect a lot of people do. But, if it were going to DISASTER everywhere they'd have rushed you to surgery. You know those doctors and their ethics and wanting to keep patients alive etc.
Wine time? Wine time.
