Hi @Siewli
There is never any need to feel isolated on this forum.
Even though everyone’s experience is slightly different , the fact is we have all “ been there” one way or the other.
My own story was I found a lump and even though I had a clear mammogram 12 months prior I had a 5.5cm lobular cancer and a mastectomy was recommended,
In the end I had a double mastectomy , radiotherapy and reconstruction.
My good news was no cancer in the lymph nodes ( so no chemo only radiotherapy) the bad news was the PET scan showed something suspicious in my thyroid which turned out to be a completely independent cancer so I had a thyroidectomy as well.
It seems there is often good news and bad news.
I try and concentrate on the good news ( my cancer was stage 2 and 2 years later I am still here).
All the best with your treatment and there are a lot of great resources on this website
Take care🌺
