I found my lump and left it for a couple of months thinking it felt like a fibroadenoma that I have had removed twice before. The GP agreed and I went along for the usual scans and it turned out to be 2 x primary cancers. Two years earlier i had scans and biopsy for a third fibroadenoma which I decided to not have surgery on. The scans then did not show any cancer at that time. So two years was the time it took for the lump to be palpable and for it to show in ultra sound and mamo scans.
My journey:
2 x lumpectomy, AC x 3 months, taxol x 3 months, hercepton x 12 months, then double mastectomy and reconstruction, tamoxifen x 5 years, possible removal of ovaries.......sounds horrible but typical but I'm luckier than many and look forward to complete recovery.
