Hi everyone.
well, never thought I would be posting on here but there you go!
I've had a bit of an achy boob just before my period for a couple of months-they usually get a bit swollen too during this time. Except when the swelling went down there was a hard lump at the top of my left breast. Didn't think anything of it and decided to wait until my next period to see if it went. It didn't so off I trot to the docs who had a feel and referred me to the breast clinic.
I went there on Monday, turns out there is a 45mm lump in the left breast and one swollen lymph node, plus a fibroadenoma, and another fibro in the right. They biopsies all of the lumps-and I had core biopsy's of the large one and the lymph as well as markers put in those.
the consultant was lovely and told me yes it's highly likely to be cancer. I have an appointment on Thursday afternoon to meet with the team and discuss results. (The team meet every weds).
I swear I felt absolutely fine up until that day, since then I feel sick, have diarrhoea, no appetite and feel awful! I'm guessing that's shock and hoping against hope that it hasn't spread.
im 39, no history in family of breast cancer-and I have the smallest boobs in the world! A cups!
sorry I'm going off on a tangent here, I'm still trying to process it all.
any advice on waiting for the results or what to expect? I wasn't allowed anyone with me at my first appointment but I'm defo taking my hubby to the next one. I just want to know what I'm dealing with and have a plan of action in place!
