I'm in shock

Hi there, I hear you. I developed a cyst overnight and saw my gp the next morning thinking it would need to be aspirated. He booked me in that day to see the surgeon. The surgeon tried to aspirated the cyst but it didn't diappear. He did a needle biopsy and told me to get a mammogram and ultrasound and see him the following week. When I saw him he said it was cancer and that they found 3 more suspicious masses and that I would need core biopsies on them all. It turned out that 3 were cancer. Since then I have had a lumpectomy, 5 months of chemo, 33 radiotherapy sessions and 12 months of herceptin. I have 3 more herceptin to go and then I'm done. What a massive 14 months it has been.  Be grateful that you found the lump and got it checked so that you can work on getting treatment and getting well. My surgeon told me if I had of waited until my next mammogram, that was due in a couple of months , I would have been in real trouble.  It's tough going but you will get there. You will find amazing support on this network. Good luck with it all and take care. Karen xox
