Doctoral cancer in breast

I’m not looking for anything.  I even feel a fraud saying I have cancer. What I have is smalll. In a routine mammogram they detected a small lump.  That now was about 2 and a half weeks ago. Had megseed today. Nothing tomorrow and on Friday I have the dye thing that carries radiation. Laughable thing about that is they say it’s all ok, followed by stay away from babies, pregnant ladies.  So maybe not fine lol. After that I go in for a lumpectomy giving it with a good margin. They have said I may have chemotherapy.  It’s all happened quickly and I have been totally laid back about it.  Today it hit me harder, few tears.  I think I was expecting them to say it was a misdiagnosis. I really have been totally chilled and didn’t need any support.  Anyway.  All over on Friday.  Sorry for the blurb. It’s late so bed time.

  • Hello Ragamuffin

    I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis of breast cancer. It sounds like it's been a whirlwind since your initial appointment with the specialist and it's understandable that you had a bit of a wobble earlier in the week. It can be a real rollercoaster of emotions so just take each day as it comes and try not to worry too much. 

    I hope your appointment today has gone well and that you're not too sore from the injection. Do you have a date for your surgery? Hopefully it's not far ahead and you'll be able to recover from this phase of treatment before Christmas. 

    If there's anything you'd like to chat through with one of our nurses you're welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch Ragamuffin and let us know how you're doing. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes,
