    I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. It's understandably a difficult time for you. 

    I know that we have had many ladies post here on the forum who have had different types of breast cancer at the same time. Hopefully, some of them will post to share their stories with you soon.

    It's really positive to hear that the ultrasound didn't give any immediate cause for concern with the lymph nodes in your armpit. Hopefully, the MRI results will give you further reassurance and give the breast team the information they need to plan your surgery. 

    We know that for many people, talking through their questions and concerns can help and I'd encourage you to think about having a chat with our team of nurses ahead of your next appointment with the Consultant. I'm sure they will be able to give you some advice, information, and support as well as possibly give you some other ideas about points you may want to raise with the team. If you'd like to chat with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch Leanne and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
