Hello 

Im sorry to hear your news, i know what a tough thing it is to deal with the news you have breast  cancer.

I to am newly  diognosed .i was referred to breast clinic  on the 20th May 2020 as i found a lump in my right breast, id only had a mamagram in August 2019 and it came back clear.

I had 3 more  mamagrams still nothing showed up it appears my breast tissue is occult...i had to liik that up lol...it means its it's quite dense so its hard to detect anything on a mamagram.

It showed up on an ultrasound. I had 5 biopsies 3 from my breast and 2 from under my arm, as my lymph nodes were inflamed. I had a metal coil marker clip inserted into my breast also.

I was told the same day it was cancer. It was confirmed by telephone call by  the consultant  on the 26th May one week later.

Ive had a bone scan Wednesday just gone , and a ct scan the nxt day on the Thursday at 5pm

I was told my cancer lumo was a grade 1, but im yet to know which type it is.

All i can say is although its hard try to get at least a few  hrs in the day when you can just be yiu and not  think of it all.Try to keep eating as normal as i was told by the csncer nurse dont lose any weight.Thats the first time ive ever been told that lol, im not excactly skinny  im 12st 12.But i expect we need to eat and keep our strengh up for the trestments we may have to have. iI find if i keep busy indoors doing housework it keeps my mind off of it for a few hrs. Try to stay positive and if you ever need to chat as we both go through this dufficult time in our life,  you can add me  as a friend if you  so wish.ill understand completely if you dont want to and ill still be here , im usually popping on here  from time to time x

Hi 

Thank you for your reply and supportive words and especially with your own situation dealing with the recent diagnosis . I will keep busy and positive and I guess start the rollercoaster ride , I ve been offered a choice of lumpectomy or mastectomy but no idea what to think at mo 

so let's both keep positive eh and thank you it's so good to talk through with others 

I'm new to online forums so need a lesson in navigating this too lol

Ha ha me to .

I wasnt offered a mastectomy  as my cancer tumer is 1cm , so small i guess.

I only started checking as my son found a lump in his testicle just before Christmas. It was cancer he was ,only 34 , he us 35 now his birthday was  in February.  He had testicle  removed in our  local hospital.He had to go to london hospital  for his chemotherapy he had to stay up  there having chemotherapy from the Friday to the Monday, 3 weeks home isolating, then back up to London hospital for more  chemotherapy from.friday till Monday evening, thrn back home for another 3weeks, then back  up to london hospital (which hes done ) and hopefuly it will be his last. He has to go back on the 10th june for more  scans and blood tests , and he then girs back to see his consultant on the 25th june to hopefuly be told some good news. 

So as you can imagine when i foubd my lump i didnt go to my doctor for 2weeks, i.just couldnt face it all at first .But after 2weeks of prodding and feeling it , and wishing it would just go awsy, i knew i had to go.

When I was told about my son i said at the time i wish it was me and not my son, but little dud i know i allready had it, as my consultant has said its been there for a round a year probably longer.  

My son has been positive and sooo brave, hes the one thats kept me and my daughter sane.

So ive got to try to be strong .xxxx
