Just diagnosed but cannot even contact a surgeon until 9th January. Stress levels high.
I received by biopsy results on Christmas Eve, stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma. GREAT! I was given a referral which was marked urgent and sent to the surgeon and told to call them on 28th December....
Surgery done and dusted. Now home and dealing with the pain and swelling, but it is not too bad. I should have the pathology results on Wednesday at my follow up appointment.
There was a lot more than just the surgery to go through on the day, which I hadn't really expected, including the hook wire and all the photographs and CT scans. Probably a good thing I didn't know, as I am very claustrophobic and would have stressed even more. Fortunately they allowed my husband in for the long one and he talked non stop to take my mind off it.
Wishing everyone else who has their surgery in front of them the very best recovery.
