Welcome to the forum Scollopy although I'm sorry about your diagnosis.
No doubt you have a lot of thoughts and feelings running through your mind at the moment but I'm glad you've joined us as many of our members have been on this journey and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.
We have a section on our website about breast cancer that I'm going to include just here in case you want to read up on your treatment but if you'd like to talk things through with someone then do give our cancer nurses a call next week. They'll be available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
Kind regards,

You might not think you are but you are very lucky.
They have caught it early and i believe that gives you a good chance with treatments and if possible removal at an early stage.
Keep in close contact with the team and the Specialist they will help and guide you through the process.
Try not to be scared as you are in good hands.
All the Best
