Diagnosed with breast cancer last night

Hi, I had an appointment last night at a breast clinic, after finding a lump,  I had a mammogram, ultra sound,  fine needle aspiration (it was after this they told me it was cancer), then biopsy which included putting in 6 titanium rods and lastly another mammogram.  

I just can't stop crying and my breast is very sore today. Not really sure what I'm looking for. Sorry x

  • Im so sorry to hear this sad news, I was also told last tuesday high suspicion of cancer, 2 biopsies, armpit and breast - and a clip inserted - get results - plan of action tomorrow and im so anxious - currently at work but on here lol...just trying to find some re assurance from somewhere, only joined last night - Good luck with your appointment xx

  • Hi Wisey254

    Its such a worry isn't it?! It was a few weeks ago now that I was diagnosed,  since then I've had a CT scan and I'm waiting on a plan of action. I've been told I have a fast growing cancer and I will need chemo, mastectomy,  radiotherapy and some sort of targeted tablets but as of yet no clue when this is all starting.  I'm so sad to hear you are on this journey too. How are you holding up? I have done a huge amount of crying and I never usually cry about anything.  I still haven't told anyone yet, apart from my husband.  Have you managed to speak to anyone? I'm happy to chat with you if you need. It feels like we are kinda at the place of this crazy ride. Yake care of yourself xxx

  • Hi Jolamine 

    I had my CT scan on Friday and was told I'd get my results this week but no call yet. I've also been told its a very fast growing cancer and I need chemo, then a mastectomy,  radiotherapy and some targeted tablets. I've not been given any more information,  I've no idea when this starts. I think the waiting is the worst.

    Thanks so much for enquiring about me, I really appreciate it.  I hope everything is going well with you. X

  • Hello rumplestiltskin

  • Hi JayOh,

    I am glad to hear that you have now had your CT scan and I am sure that you are desperate to get your results. I hope that you get your results before the end of the week. You are so right waiting in limbo like this is one of the hardest parts of our cancer journey. It sounds as if you are going to have a challenging few months ahead of you, but you'll get there. 

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. As you know, we are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hi Wisey,

    Not long to wait now. You will feel much better once you know exactly what you are dealing with. I shall be thinking of you tomorrow.

    Kind regards,
