Hi,

Just wanted to pop my head up and say hello I can see that there are some lovely ladies on these boards and I really would appreciate any support or advice or just words of encouragement really. Found out Friday I have breast cancer, don't know the specific type yet I have an MRI tomorrow then seeing doc on Friday. 
 

I think I'm spiralling because got impression from last week's appointment that it is quite a large lump - on ultrasound it measured between 3-4cm but the consultant said area on mammogram showed calcification as bigger than that. Biopsy showed cancer cells in breast and two lymph nodes so it's already spread. 
 

I've always been terrified of cancer even saying the word, but now I just want it out of my body feels like the hours are passing so slowly. 
 

I have two daughters aged 14 and 11, both they and my husband are being amazing. My parents are both still alive and can't bear to think of how much I'm putting everyone through.
 

Well that's more than enough about me - to anyone reading this big hugs as you're probably here for the same reason I am, just to know we aren't alone and can get through this.
