Just been told I have Breast Cancer

Hi I have just come back from my one stop breast cancer clinic and have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer - the good news is that I only deceted the lump (I check my breasts every 4 weeks) on the 5th June and the cancer has not spread I am due to see the surgeon on Thursday for my treatment plan but he has advised that as it has not spread I only require a lumpectomy has anyone else had this procedure could you advise how long you were out of action. Scared but Hopeful.

  • Sorry to cast a dark shadow, but what I’ve learned from all my treatment, is to take one day at a time, things change. What you’ve been told was the initial diagnosis for me, then I had to have a 2nd surgery, then they discovered that it was stage 3, so chemo was suggested... then I had a new test and found out that I only needed radiotherapy...  

    i suggest that you relax and wait for a final report, before worrying about it! 

    The only thing you need to know is, you will be ok... :)
