Hello i didnt think I'd be chatting in here, i dont expect any if us did really.i found a hard lump in my right breast , and i was also having a lot of famiy health issues with my mum, her partner, both poorly and needed help.Plus my son was diognised with cancer near Christmas 2019 and has hopefuly finished his last sessions of chemotherapy, he has a scan in june and sees the consultant, not long after in June to see if hes clear or needs any further treatment . So when i first found the lump i pannicked and was scared and keot putting it off ,about going to doctors to go get it checked. But after 2 weeks i went to doctor's and they referred me to breast clinic.I had an appointment yesterday at the breast clinic.I had only had a mammogram in August 9 mths ago and results came back all clear .Yesterday i had 3 mamagrams nothing showed up .The consultant could feel.the lump, as could i.
So an ultrasound i had nxt showed it up as a hard solid mass. I then had 5 biopsies taken, 3 from my breast and 2 from under my arm, as the ultrasound also showed up that my lymph nodes were inflamed. I then had a metal coil marker clip inserted into my breast.
Im not going to lie, it hurt and still does.The cinsultant then told me i have breast cancer.And by the size if the lump id probably had it for around a year maybe more. She told me, don't worry we will sort this. When we get the results from your biopsies, we will know what type of breast cancer we are dealing with.We will call you nxt tuesday i don't know what time, that will be , but we will disscuss your case and decide whats best for you going forward. I cried of course as deaded having to tell evertyone ecspecialy my son and daughter. Its awful waiting and yesterday i was an emotional wreck , in so much pain from all the biopsies taken and the metal coil marker being inserted into my right breast. But my son has stayed positive throughout since finding out he had it , and you can imagine how devasted and upset i felt about my son, hes kept me sane throughout his treatment.si i feel i must try to do the same for him and ny daughter.i just hope i can cope and not let anyone down. So scared .
