Thank goodness for a mammogram.

Hi newbie here.

I went for my scheduled mammogram in November, called back in December.

Diagnosed with breast cancer. 

Left breast, ductal cancer. Grade 2.

Ostrogen positive, progesterone positive.

Her2 negative.

I had a wide local excision and sentinel node biopsy on the 29th December.

This was done as a day case. Apart from swelling of my boob, the pain hasn't been to bad. I have full movement in my arm.

Good luck to everyone who is going through Cancer. It's the club no one wants to join.
