hi everyone so I posted last week about finding a lump and my doctor doing a biopsy, I got my results today and I've been diagnosed with stage 1 invasive ductal caricoma ( I think that's what its called) I'm absolute devastated. my consultant says he was also shocked because of my age (32) and no breast cancer runs in my family. he said that it grows from my hormone but is still awaiting the hers2 test to come back. I'm waiting for a MRI scan within a week he said. and my nurse will call me tomorrow to have a chat I wasnt really listening after he said it was cancer luckily my mum and sister were there with me I'm so confused upset and scared all at the same time x

    Hello,

    just want to say I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It IS an awful shock and puts you in a mental state of feeling life is draining away from you. It truly isn’t. I have a similar diagnosis to you but it’s at stage 2. (I am also a lot older than you) 

     

    The good news is now that I have had a partial breast reduction (in November) and nearly through the 15 sessions of radiotherapy I can see my way forward to a healthy life again. You will too. 

     

    Hold on tight, the medics are superb. The treatment is amazing.  I am off swimming in a minute and as I say I am more than half way through radiotherapy. I know I am perhaps lucky I have had no side affects to speak of but this experience is awful but not the end of anything. 

     

    You too will come though. 

    Go well. 

    Kebbs.

I'm just so tired mentally even though I'm putting a brave face on for everyone else inside it's just exhausting,I've been on edge the last few days because I know my results are only a few days away and although I know alot of my results and know some of my treatment going forward because I dont no everything its driving me bananas ;)
