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...

Kiama12, go and have that wine! In the week leading to my surgery last Tuesday, I went out with friends and had wine with meals, as I knew that it would be off the menu for weeks afterwards because of strong painkillers. I am sorry that you landed this diagnosis as well, as it is so horrible, but you will find lots of love and support on this website. I am writing this from hospital after a mastectomy and reconstruction of the right breast, and a reduction of the left breast done two days ago. Yes, it is still painful, but the nurses are wonderful and it is great to look at my my new right breast and know that the cancer was taken away. No matter what preventative treatments may lie ahead, I know that I will cope with them. There is a real sisterhood on this site that will give you the support that you need!
