Newly diagnosed and today is my operation day

Hi guys, just wanted to say hello and tell you guys what’s going on.  I turned 50 in February and On the 20th June I went for my mammogram screening. I was called back 2 weeks later and was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. It’s been a whirlwind since and I am having my operation today to take it out. I am a district nurse and have to say as I know a bit more when caring for my patients with cancer I put on a brave face. I am worried about today and what the future holds. I also want to say thank god for the NHS screening and all the amazing people that are looking after me

  • Oh did you get a reaction to the glue from the skin cover thing they use when they operate ? Not sure what it's called. My chest came up with what looked like dermatitis and my right arm was a mass of tiny bumps, shoulder to wrist. I looked a tad unsightly for about five days. I'm glad it wasn't too bad for you. Next step is the result wait, good luck !
