HI ALL. ON JUNE 8TH I WENT TO THE GP WITH A BREAST CHANGE, HAPPENED OVERNIGHT. AFTER THE MAMMOGRAM, ULTRASOUND AND BIOPSY BACK TO THE GP THE NEXT DAY. MY HUSBAND CAME AND WHILE WE SAT WAITING FOR THE GP TO RUN TO AND FROM THE FAX MACHINE WAITING FOR THE RESULTS WE JUST SAT AND COULD NOT SAY A WORD. SHE CAME BACK WITH TEARS IN HER EYES AND SAID ITS BREAST CANCER.. ALL I COULD SAY IS OH!
THE NEXT DAY AT THE SURGEON HE TOLD US IT WAS LOBULAR CANCER AND I NEED TO HAVE A MASTECOMY
Hi Jenny, very sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I was diagnosed in September (just after my 36th b'day), had an axillary clearance and L masectomy. First round of chemo was at the end of October.
It is so shocking, isn't it, when your first diagnosed. There are not enough words to explain what you go through.
But, I have found this forum to be so informative, and our 'pink sisters' to be of so much comfort, support and encouragement!
In the short time I have been on this journey at least 5 other women have been diagnosed and joined. Even during this early stage Jenny, know that you aren't alone! We're all here with you and thinking of you.
Sending you a big hug & look forward to chatting,
