First Four Days
I was diagnosed with breast cancer four days ago after removal of a lump which tests ( needle extraction of fluid) had come back 'no cancer cells present' .So I did not rush to make an appointment with a breast surgeon to have the lump removed. This was recommended only if I wanted. So now I will have more surgery on the 21st October to ensure the margins of it are removed as well as some lymph nodes and then radiation. Can't remember anything else! Will wait for the following Monday to know more. In limbo.

Thanks Gale all good at the moment. All the best for your radiation appt on Monday. Do you have to wait for wounds to heal before radiation?

thanks Tracey, yes a fog describes it well , everything beyond the fog ceases to exist. I also have a broken left wrist after a fall two weeks before first surgery so feeling very trapped!

Thanks Lyn taking my middle daughter who is a nurse ( with instructions to listen to doctor and recall what I probably won't be) . I made the mistake of going alone to first surgery result as I had assumed all was ok!
