In the beggining
On the 6th July 2012 I went to see my local GP feeling totally exhausted mentally and physically I knew something was wrong. He sent me for blood tests, ultrasound and mammogram and prescribed lovan (medication for depression) I was a bit annoyed as Iam and have never been depressed. I have to go back seven years. Seven years ago I had a double breast reduction (they took almost 6kg in total) When I returned for the after operation check I was told that they had found some abnormal tissue (precancer) in my right breast. Nothing was done about it but I had to have mammograms and ultrasounds every 12 months after the first two years I got busy, got a job and continued on with life and didn't have my mammograms. Naughty me. So when I felt like crap I saw my dr had the tests, when having the mammogram I saw the look on the radiographer's face an knew she had found something. We talked and she mentioned biospy which was done a few days later. My doctor had to take sick leave so I was passed onto one of his collegues who requested me to attend the clinic days before my designated appointment. I guessed that this was bad news so in less than a month I had been diagnosed with an infiltrating DCIS grade 2 I am to have my isotape injection for sentinal node on the 4th Sept and hookwire and surgery on the 5th so its still a waiting game.I guess I better get used to that. I take each day as it comes
