Breast cancer lump and two suspicious armpit nodes

Hi All

Was wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences to me, on Monday I had a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy on the lump in my left breast and on two suspicious nodes in my armpit.  I requested a copy of the letter the breast clinic send to my doctor and it confirms P5 2cm, M5 28mm and U5 24mm leshion which after googling means 'Malignant' for all three tests.  The abnormal nodes U4 which is suspicious of malignancy.   I have no idea what a lesion is??

The same as you have all been through I am sure, I am bouncing between coping and despair.  I haven't told any of my family yet as I have no idea how to approach the conversation, I fear they are going to panic.  This is so desperately painful, I am single parent to a 14 year old son and just feel so devastated for him.

The waiting is unberable and don't go back for my stage and grade or treatment plan until the 12th April.

I guess its the fact it looks like it is in my armpit nodes is the terrfiying part of this, a breast cancer lump I feel I could deal with a lot better.

Just wondered if anyone out there has had any similar symptoms or experiences? 

Sending big love to you all

  • I had a recall on my mammogram then had scan and biopsy was told there that was highly likely breast cancer. Went back last Wednesday for results and had it confirmed. I have preop on 12th and lumpectomy 21st. They will take lymph biopsy then and I will have to wait 3 weeks for results. If lymph OK then it's radiotherapy if not then chemo.

    I've only cried once since I had the news and that's because my mum went through this over 20 years ago but sadly died in January. 

    I have told work, family and friends and although they all upset the support has been great. I know it will be hard but telling people will make it easier for you. X
