Hi Casey
With your appointment you will get full details of what to expect but you will probably have a Triple Asessment: examination, imaging (mammogram and/or ultrasound) and maybe some kind of biopsy. Then you'll probably have to go back for the results if you have a biopsy. Try not to worry as most lumps are found to be harmless. Take someone with you to your appointment for reassurance and support. I'll be praying that your appointment comes through quickly and that you'll be ok. Take care, Amy xx

Thank you Amy. I'm hoping I get my app soon. I can't help feeling the lump and starting to feel sore, so need to try and leave it alone. Thank you for you reply. X

Hi Casey, it’s been a rollercoaster! I have been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer that’s spread into my lymph nodes. Double op booked, removing the carcinoma and all of my lymph nodes on the right side!

How are you? you are your family must be so relieved! Xx

Oh Linda I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. You must be all over the place at the moment and feel overwhelmed with what's to come.

How are your children and family coping Linda?

Please try and focus and how far the treatment has come and not to allow any of the scary thoughts pop in. I know that must be incredibly difficult. How are you at the moment.

you are in my thoughts and wishing you all the best. Take care xx

It's been a very challenging few days since we were told. It's just completely turned everything upside down. 
 

It's hit my 15yo daughter hard. The look on her face when I told her - is something I will never get over. My husband is very realistic and practical, I can see he's suffering but he's determined we will get through this. He's ex army and gen surgeon asked him where he had served. To which my husband said - Afghan, Iraq, Kosovo, Bosnia etc and the surgeon said - all very scary places. To which my husband said - all nothing compare to this! My heart broke! 
 

my surgery is on the 9/9 for both procedures. Then chemo and radiotherapy. Just taking one day at a time. Xx

Aww Linda, the comment about your husband, brought tears to my eyes. 
he's absolutely right. All that matters right now is getting  through this surgery and treatment. When our health is put at risk it's terrifying and all those scary thought of leaving behind children, is horrific and I absolutely hate this disease. 

You will get through this Linda and you will get through it with the love and support of all your family and you will come out the other side.

I mentioned in my message to Amy, I almost feel guilty that I was one of the lucky ones :( xx take cAre and I'm thinking of you 

You shouldn't feel guilty. You've had your own journey and the fact it ended positively are the kinds of stories others on here need to here. Not all lumps are cancerous. Xx

Hope you don't mind me jumping on your post I've just been diagnosed the same had ct scan so now another anxious wait to see if it has spread. I feel I have every ache and pain and don't get the results to the 2nd of September. I feel like I'm in a nightmare

Hi Trac,

When you say the same do you mean stage 3 invasive sarcoma and you are awaiting a CT to see if it's spread anywhere else?

2nd September is a long wait. I had 6 biopsies done when I had my mammogram, ultra sound etc. 2 were from the lymph nodes as they showed to be raised on the CT scan. So I know it's spread. Surgery is booked but like you said, I feel like I'm in a nightmare. 
 

do you have support around you? Xx

Grade 3 ductal cancer I have and yes I thought that it's a long time I'm hoping to ring to see if someone will tell me sooner. And yes ct to see if it's spread it's in my lymph nodes and Breast 2cm tumour. I have a lot of support they are all amazing 

We are in similar positions. Mines 3.5cm. It annoys me that I didn't notice sooner. 
 

I really hope you get results sooner. Which area are you in? Xx
 

I'm under a birmingham hospital how about you. I will post when I know keep me updated on your progress and I'll do the same with mine

I am North Yorkshire. I've sent you an inbox and friends request. X

Hi Linda 

I just wanted wish you look for your operation on Friday. Do you have to stay in? I will be thinking of you! How are you managing, are you doing ok? 

well I'm back to waiting on news I am afraid. I've had some bleeding after sex (ongoing issue) so waiting on an app, for further investigation. One thing after another eh. Also last night I found another lump, in the same breast, and very similar location, so my stomach sank. I'm going to ring docs this week, but trying to logically think, I only had a mammogram and ultrasound a month ago, so almost sure it would of picked up anything concerning. So trying to stay calm and stay away from Google. It feels the same as my last lump and it vertically the same position, very odd. 
anyway just wanted to check in x
