Hi
This is my first message on here. I am reaching out to make sure i am using the site correctly.
I have recently had a scan that showed up abnormality in two of my left armpit lymph nodes which led to further testing and a 1 cm lump was found in my left breast and my GP has advised diagnosis has come back with a 95% + chance of cancer.
I have an upcoming appointment with a Surgical team and my understaning is i will need to have a biopsy to determine if it is cancer and what stage.
I have listened to a couple of podcasts and read a lot of messages and have found it to be helpful already. I look forward to having a network of people that i can ask questions, share concerns and understand what i may be going through in the not to distant future.
Please let me know if i am on the right track for what this page is intended for.
Kind regards
