so confused
Hi, i`m 39, i was told i have invasive ductal carcinoma grade 3 that has spread to armpit and nodes in my lungs, i knew about the breast tumour and armpit nodes but only found out about the lung node...
Forum Discussion
So after 2 local DRs and the city Breast care nurse telling me the cancer had spread to the lymph nodes in my lungs, i actually asked the nurse straight out `is this going to kill me?` she said `yes`
i had a PET scan and a broncoscopy to do a biopsy on the lung nodes, went back to the specialist on thursday 28/8 to find out the diagnosis is SARCOIDOSIS...........
i had weeks of thinking this was it, my time was up,and it was nothing like that AT ALL i cant even begin to describe/explain my feelings over the last few weeks, i went from accepting it, to thinking about suicide, anger, sadness even had to go on anti depressant tablets, all because some people jumped the gun and just assumed the cancer had spread, i can never thank my specialists enough for the thorough testing they did, even though it did feel like it was taking for ever, so my surgery is booked for 10th Sept, i turn 40 on the 2nd Oct then 6 months of chemo
thankyou to everyone who replied, your comments really did help, even though i couldnt reply at the time
