newly diagnized with breast cancer
Last week I was diagnosed with breast cancer during my two yearly mammogram . I was called back and was told I have cancer which was devastating news.

I have Type 2 diabetes and am on tablets - Metformin and Gliclazide. I was diagnosed on 27 January, and have had two operations since on the right breast which unfortunately did not get all of the cancer, so I am having a mastectomy tomorrow week. My blood sugars went all over the place after the operations, going up by 5 or 6 points despite me being absolutely saintly in my eating. It is three weeks since the second operation, and they have stabilised somewhat, but I expect the same thing to happen again with the mastectomy. I healed well from the two operations despite the sugar readings.
