Hi All,

I recently noticed a change it the way my left breast looked, nipple inverting only slightly but noticeable to me. I for a few weeks took photos and kept checking thinking it was due to my hormones and the coil being fitted in March 2024 due to heavy bleeding and clot issues.

18th September my GP examined and couldn’t feel any lumps but I was referred to have mammogram.

2nd October Mammogram completed along with scan which found a lump 1.5cm behind the nipple and swelling in my lymph in armpit. Whilst there 2 biopsy taken for further investigation

Further appointment was confirmed for 5th November for results but I was so anxious and suffer with high bloood pressure I called and appointment brought forward to 22nd October

Feeling nervous and worried but thinking all will be ok I was told I had Breast Cancer grade 2 ER+ PR+ HER2 and surgery planned for 20th December to remove nipple and aerola with biopsy of the synoid in armpit and removal of lymph 

started Tamoxifen meds and coil removed

Now a waiting game for surgery and the treatment plan after

Feeling Lots of things and just reaching out to people that have experienced the same diagnosis

    Hi Sarah

    I am OK.  A little sore in armpit, ana tierd.  

    I totally understand how you are feeling.  Just remember, you are strong, and you got this.  Don't let your thoughts get to carried away.  

    Keep your mind busy today.  Have you got a friend who can spend some time with you. Maybe watch something funny on Netflix.  (TED LASO OR GOOD GIRLS) are funny. 

    I have my appointments start at 12 with nurse, then radiotherapy,  then the gym.  I will message you in between appointments to let you know how my day is going, so your not thinking about yours too much x

    Drink plenty of fluids today, as it will help with your anxiety.  

    I need to actually get out of bed and get myself ready. So I will message you later to see what your up to.  

    Have a good day.

    Take care.

    Hi Sarah,

    Just a comment on your statement "if the specialist knew of spread from biopsy surely they would do a quicker appointment than I have given?" - Unfortunately, the length of your weight doesn't give any indication of whether or not there's been any spread. Here's hoping that you get good news tomorrow - I'll be thinking of you.

    Kind regards,
