newly diagnosed

Thanks everyone, I had my MRI yesterday and saw my surgeon this afternoon and I have the forms to book into hospital. My left breast is completely free so that's a blessing and he is confident that he will be able to remove enough breast tissue and tumour by doing the reduction. I have one lymph node that is enlarged so it will come out as well. I'll have the x-ray on the day of surgery to make sure others are affected.

I spoke to my children on Tuesday night and told them everything.... the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Thankfully my 6yr old son is a typical boy and lives in his own world. My daughter took the news hard but she had suspected something was wrong. Like me she needs time to get her head around it all.

Thank you all for your comments, they have helped immensely. I wish you all the best xx
