Hi all, I hope you are well
Up to now I have been a bit of a lurker on here just really stumbling across posts while frantically googling! I thought as soon as I get the results to tell me I had a Fibroadenoma I would come on and post a message to stop other people from going through the anxiety I have for the last few weeks. But instead I find myself posting after being told I have breast cancer instead :(
To try and cut a long story short I’m 40 and 3 weeks ago I found a lump in my right breast, went to my GP who said she thought it was hormonal as I had had pain and was taking the fertility drug Clomid. She referred me to be on the safe side. I went to the breast clinic 3 days later and after being examined the DR there told me pretty much the same thing. It’s either a cyst or Fibroadenoma but to be on the safe side she sent me for a mammogram and ultrasound. On the ultrasound they seen it and did a biopsy. Yesterday I had a telephone consultation, I work in the same hospital so just went outside to my car to take the call telling everyone I would be back soon. When the consultant rang he explained that it was actually Cancer. I told him I was outside where he was so he told me to go in and see him. I basically have 2 lumps but only one was biopsied so I have to have another biopsy on Tuesday to determine treatment. If it’s only one that is cancer I will have a lumpectomy and then treatment. If they are both the same I will need to have maybe treatment first and then definitely a mastectomy. Positives are as far as they can tell it’s stage one, triple negative ductal something or other and there is no evidence that it has gone anywhere else. So I Thank God for that.
Sorry for the long post, was just hoping to meet some people who are going through this and to be able to vent a little bit lol
Hugs to all
