Diagnosed and surgery within 4 days
Hi Everyone
I received a diagnosis from my GP on Monday, 25/08/14.
She immediately booked an appointment for me to see a surgeon, which was scheduled for the next day. On Tuesday I met the surgeon, and she suggested surgery, and my surgery to remove the lump from my left breast and a lymph node was scheduled for 2 days later, on Thursday the 28.
I was supposed to get the pathology results on Monday, but the surgeon phoned to let me know she hasn't received it yet. I saw the surgeon yesterday for a follow-up appointment, and still my results aren't in.
One positive is that the result for the lymph node that was removed was clear, but there are irregularities in the lump they removed, and now I am really scared. My case has now been send to Royal Brisbane for a 2nd opinion by another pathologist.
They have found DCIS, but also 2 small spots of invasive cancer, and the lump seems to be much bigger than what they thought.
This afternoon the surgeon will phone at 5, to let me know the results, if it's completed. I am so worried, and really scared of what she will tell me. Already in the 3d day of waiting, and I have never felt so scared in my life.
