NEWLY DIAGNOSED
Hi all
What a shock when I got called back after a routine mammogram, I had to go to Nambour where they did an ultrasound & 2 core biopsies, they told me I would have a good idea before going home ...

Yep, its a lot to take in isnt it, and funny how a lot of us "know" its not good news. My boss is my gp, and I had the mammogram and ultrasound the same day and was booked for the biopsy then next morning. I know the day of the mammogram and ultrasound because my boss rang me that night. The head radiographer rang him and told him what was happening. I know the way my boss speaks and listening to his voice I thought, Yep, this isnt going to end well.
Isnt it bizaare how different the treatments are. I've not had any scans its simply wide local excision with sentinel node removal. Then radiation depending on the path result. They couldnt properly identify the type of cancer from the biopsy. I'm so very lucky that mine has been caught so early. And i think that's what is doing my head in a little. There's no typical treatment plan. Everyone is different. I thought i'd be having PET scan and all sorts of things.
