Hello,

I got diagnosed with breast cancer a month ago. I have had a full raft of tests - MRIs , CT scan, ultrasounds,  additional biopsies - to check if additional spread. This has definitely been the worst part of this whole process and the only thing I can advise you is to keep busy and live life as normal. It all happens really quickly though- I had all my tests done and returned within 3 weeks. I've had my first chemo today.

If you are diagnosed - If - then they need the full picture before they establish your treatment in plan. It really is best to know everything so there are no surprises.

Until you are diagnosed, anything you are thinking right now is just that - just thoughts, not facts. It is completely normal to worry though but don't be googling as you will just go down a dark rabbit hole. After I was diagnosed, 2 suspicious areas flagged up on my breast MRI. They warned me they could be additional tumours. The biopsies showed them to be fibrodenomas (so benign). 
 

Good Luck. Be sure to update how you get on x

Thanks a lot for replying to me and really sorry to hear about your diagnosis. 
 

Reassuring that it was relatively quick for all of the tests although the last week has felt like a year despite being crazily busy with work and kids. ‍♀️ 
 

You are definitely correct on the Googling front. It is so hard not to look up every little symptom or niggle I have had over the last year. 
 

Good luck with the chemo. I hope you stay as healthy as can be. Xx
