After a mammogram on 6th May received a letter 10 days later for a recall on the Thursday of that week. Calcifications on left breast caused concern so I had a close up mammogram, a scan, 5 biopsys, a marker inserted and another mammogram. Had to go back on the following Tuesday 26th May, and was told its early cancer. I am having pre op this Thursday 4th June and lumpectomy on the 11th June. I find as long as I am around people I can put it to the back of my mind but when alone get very down. I have good friends but my partner suffers from bipolar and has been in bed for last three days so I feel alone, especially at a weekend. He cannot cope with any pressure whatsoever.
