Hi Shaylee,Shaylls said:Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to say hello. I have been diagnosed this week with early stage breast cancer - invasive lobular carcinoma. It's been a scary week going from a slightly inverted nipple to rushed tests here and there to having cancer. Going in for surgery for removal on Monday and then will be looking at radiation and hormone therapy from there. My head is still spinning and my emotions are all over the place. At 44 with no family history this was the last thing I would have ever expected.
feeling positive but have moments of complete fear also.

I was diagnosed 31st October and am now 19 days post op lumpectomy and removal of all lymph nodes in right arm. First consult with oncologist tomorrow. Still feels surreal. I have just turned 64 and am a registered nurse but still having trouble coming to terms with it all and the look of my 'new' body.
