Hello, just looking for moral support really. A couple of weeks ago I found a lump on my right breast. I went to the doctor, who seemed relatively relaxed about it but referred me to the breast clinic to get it checked out. I went to the breast clinic yesterday morning by myself, convinced it was some kind of cyst and I'd be out in a few hours with the all clear.
After the initial consultation, ultrasound, mammogram, another ultrasound and biopsies taken, another mammogram to make sure the marker clip was in the right place, I was taken in to see the consultant again, who gave me the devastating news that not only was the initial 3cm lump I found very likely to be cancer, but they have also found a 2cm lump in my armpit.
I'm due to go back in 10 days for my biopsy results and next steps. I'm 39 and a mum to two young children, I'm so scared. My husband is being supportive, but he's devastated too - we just didn't see this coming. Has anyone else had a similar experience? What should I expect next?
