Hi everyone. I'm newly diagnosed and absolutely terrified. Just can't stop crying and had to gently explain to the kids what's happening because I can't hide my emotions. 

The background is left breast thickening checked by ultrasound in Feb 2021. Told it was normal breast tissue and sent away *but offered to be put on screening at 40 due to a family history* I turned 40 in November and attended screening mammogram. By now the thickening had changed to "lumpy" I expected to see a Dr at screening to mention this but was surprised it was just a mammogram. IAnxiously awaited results which were clear. 

This gave me a false sense of security. No point been hasty asking for a referral to breast clinic with a clear Mammogram. 

Then a few weeks ago I just felt the lump had got a bit more defined and possibly a little bigger so I asked for a referral. 

I was told again by the sonographer that lump was showing as normal breast tissue on ultrasound but they would just biopsy simply because I was a repeat visitor. 

To my horror the results on Wednesday was grade 1 mucinous breast cancer. He told me that it only seems small and grade 1 is positive. Treatment is to be decided after an MRI Next Friday. 

The problem is I'm in agony. Aching nagging pain that I can feel track across my collarbone and up my face to my ear area and under my breast on the rib wall. And also down to my groin area So I'm constantly horrified thinking I'm feeling it spreading. 

The lovely nurse assures me that it's probably irritation from the core needle biopsy. Like a mild Lymphodema or just plain old nerve irritation. But I'm continually in a heightend state of anxiety. Continual panic attacks. I cant cope like this. 

Could anyone confirm that CNB caused Lymphedema or generalised body pains. That lasted a couple of weeks or more. 

So sorry for Rambling on
