Hi I am new to this forum. I had a lump and told after ultrasound and biopsy that grade 1 and after testing lymph nodes that it hadn't spread there. Had lumpectomy 11 days ago and 4 lymph nodes removed as precaution. Went back to hospital last thursday and my world fell apart. The consultant said I have bad news for you it has spread throughout the breast and lymph nodes and that he nearly fell off his chair when he saw the results
Had ct scan and it isn't showing anywhere else at moment. I have to have mastectomy next thursday. Followed by chemo. I am devastated as come to terms with initial findings and now it is much worse. I originally was told not life threatening and now due to new findings the doctor and nurse said we will beat this as this is what we are here for. I keep thinking it will be even more worse and I will get more bad news after they operate. Due to covid have to isolate because of treatment which means that all my family will have to do do. I want be able to see my mum who is in a care home and 99 years old during the next 6 months which is making me keep breaking down as she keeps asking me when I'm going to go in to see her and I cant tell her the truth as it will devastate her. I am so scared. I just dont know what to do or if I can be strong enough.
