Newly diagnosed
I've retyped this post so many times I wasn't sure what to say. I got my results today and I feel numb. I've been quite calm, not many tears, but I know it hasn't hit me yet. At this stage, it's early...

Well this week has been a difficult one. After my surgery going well, the surgeon said he didn't expect me to need any further treatment. However, my pathology report said otherwise. We got the top line info and the affected area was double the size initially calculated and it appears to be more aggressive than first thought. Therefore, there is the likelihood it is in my bloodstream. I felt like I'd been punched in the stomach again. I'm getting my head around it and meet with my surgeon on Thursday to talk the report in more detail and talk further treatment. Again, I'm trying to be positive and my husband, children, loved ones and discussions like these, keep my spirits up. And my son asks me every day when he gets in from pre-school if I have my new boob yet (keeps me smiling). Think he might be a boob man when he's older :smile:
