My breast cancer was confirmed last Thursday. I am lucky as it has been picked up during my 1st mammogram. The tumor is very small and I'm told they don't think it's in my lymph nodes. Originally I had opted just to have a lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy which I could have had next week however the consultant at the time offered me a breast lift - my boobs are quite saggy! Which originally I declined however after 24 hours I changed my mind so I'm hoping I will have a date for this given to me tomorrow. They can only do one breast then I will have to have the other uplifted in about 6 months. I will need a course of radiotherapy. I feel numb and very anxious. I'm now wondering if I made the right decision to go with the breast lift option as well especially as another consultant in the team may now do it.
