Hi I am introducing myself Melanie

I have recently well in the last two weeks been diagnosed with grade 3 rapid breast cancer. I was totally devastated that I've now had a mastectomy a hard choice but one that had to be made. I am returning for results,as I had sentinel node biopsies done the same time and could end up having the right lymphatic system removed very soon sorry for going on just wanted to let people know a bit of back ground. I am a mother of two children my daughter is 19 years old and my son was fifteen years old tragically killed run over by school minibus whilst in school in Dec 2014 that's my back ground x

  • Hello Melanie,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat and thank you for sharing your background story with us. I hope you are recovering well from the mastectomy?

    When do you get your results? We will be thinking of you and do let us know when you find out more.

    I am so sorry to hear about the tragic loss of your son at such a young age - that is so sad.

    We are all here for you anytime you need to talk and I hope you will meet other ladies here who have had a similar diagnosis.

    Best wishes,
