Here we go again😢.
Haven't posted for a while as I have been recovering from a mastectomy and node clearance.
They checked my other breast the day of the surgery and decided the lump they found in it was all ok, so not to worry. Well......weeks down the track and I have to go in for another mamo and then an ultrasound again. Couldnt find it on the ultrasound so had to do the biopsy using what I think was a 3D mamogram(very dignified lying on your stomach with you boob in a hole and they work from down there!). The sample came back positive.....could not believe this was happening again. It was another primary of lobular cancer😭. So chemo was postponed and I now have decided to have it off to match the other one on the 11th of january. I could have had a lumpectomy but am so scared it will come back again. It was also a small primary. The other side tumor was 10 cm! So much for mamograms, neither showed up. One good thing is the surgeon is pretty sure it wont be in the lymph nodes, good because I found that the worst bit to get over. They will be doing a sentinial biopsy before the op so lots of praying and fingers crossed its not in them. My positive side of all this is I will be able to choose the size of my breasts later, definately smaller than they were! I wont be lopsided anymore.....one big boob is really annoying! Flat chested for now is looking good!😉
I wish you all a very happy Christmas and a very healthy new year to us all! ⛄❄⛄❄⛄
