I went to a routine mammogram check for over 50s and was recalled for further checks a few weeks ago. A week later I found myself undergoing another mammogram plus a scan and a biopsy for a lump they found in my breast. I asked whether they thought it was bad news and they kept saying it looked suspicious. I was terrified whilst I waited a week for the results. Yesterday I was told I have early stage bc and they said it was great I had a check and they found it early.
It doesn't feel great to me. I've switched onto auto pilot and feel numb and in denial. Having to tell my 4 kids was the worst thing I've ever had to do. They are all over the place and I've got to be strong for them. I feel at some point the realisation will hit me like a crashing wave and I'll break down emotionally. Until then I'm waiting for an appointment with the surgical team. I just feel so lost and scared.
