Oh Shaylee, I am so sorry you have received this news! I know a little of how you feel. My tumour was originally thought to be 3cm on mammogram/ultrasound, but my surgeon sent me for an mri which showed it was actually 9cm tumour in left breast! they also thought on mri I had cancer in right breast and an abnormal lymph node under left arm. I was sent for a full body bonescan and ct chest/abdo/pelvis. These showed spots on both lungs! It is so scary! Thankfully they have now excluded cancer in right breast and the lymph node that looked bad, the lungs they're not 100% sure but think it's probably OK. The waiting while they gathered their info was frustrating because I just wanted it out! But now I am having chemo before surgery and am now at peace with that decision. All I can say is you are in really good hands. There are fantastic results for breast cancer treatment nowadays. Try not to focus on the scary things that you can't control, and focus instead on all the small wins. Big hugs to you and I hope tomorrow is a much better day. Kate x
