Hi Poppy81, sorry that you find yourself here. I was diagnosed on 18th December. Mine is a grade 2 IDC in left breast 30mm. The original ultrasound said 22mm, then the biopsy said 30. Now I've had lumpectomy I expect a totally different size when I get the results. I didn't find the surgery too bad and have recovered well. But oh my goodness, the waiting! I have a 6 week wait for results. Literally going mad waiting. I hope your surgery goes well. 

Hi BlueSatsuma,

Thank you so much for messaging me.

I have the same as you, grade 2 IDC but mine is 44mm with a bit a-joined 17mm, so far I have had a mammogram, then a ultra sound with two biopsies,  I have also had a ct scan, with MRI this Sat10th, my left breast was clear and also the lymph nodes were clear, the consultant/surgeon is phoning me tomorrow, so I am hoping they have a plan for what’s next.

i went to the GP on 2nd Jan, my first appointment was the 18th, Jan, that’s when I had the biopsies done, he as good as told me on that day that it was suspected cancer, had to go back on the 25Jan when he arranged for CT scan and MRI, and said he would phone me on 8th Jan so that’s tomorrow.

I just want it gone, I am not worried about having either a lumpectomy or the whole breast removed, and it’s good to hear the operation wasn’t so bad, did you go home on the same day as your operation.

I have also got a squamous cell carcinoma on my right leg, and need plastic surgery, I am meeting plastic surgeon on Friday, just don’t want one thing delaying the other.

I am getting anxious waiting for some surgery dates, how long did you wait from being diagnosed.

Look after yourself.

Ann
