Hi All,

So sorry to hear what you're going through. I picked up  this post following 3 biopsies, enlarged lymph node test and a clip inserted yesterday.

Consultant said she's literally 50/50. Enlarged lymph node is the biggest cause of concern. Visible lump to the eye but not clear on imaging.

2 week wait for me and my mum is on second breast cancer after having been all clear for 15 years. I'm only 44 

Family 

welcome 

please stay here for support bless you I hope you get a positive outcome 

big hugs love Lara ️

Thank you. 
I feel very odd right now. I've been in the genetic programme since I was 40 because of the family history but apparently, if this is cancer, it's the kind that doesn't show up on mammograms, which is a bizarre thing to get my head around.... as mammograms are the screening process for someone like me. 
Worth knowing for anyone on here that feeling any kind of a lump is worth further examination as I would have gone for my annual mammogram again in august and it wouldn't have shown. 

Family 

yes I heard of that on here that some don't show on mammograms it really is bizarre if you were being screened that they should have done other tests it's absolutely 

mine show up on a mammogram I had BC last July 

how is your mum bless her 2 nd time it's awful you are having a time of it I really hope you get good news 

love Lara ️

You're so kind to be replying, thank you. 
It's odd how you become a little conditioned to things when BC has been some part of your life for so long. Mum is devastated to be dealing with it a second time but after surviving a very agressive diagnosis 15 years ago, she knows it's survivable. She had herceptin and chemo first time around and back then, it was a miracle she survived... the chances weren't good. This time it's far less severe but after two failed lumpectomies and a shave, she's booked in for another mastectomy on 13th April. She had one breast removed and a reconstruction the first time. She's now in her 70s and they want to do the mastectomy without reconstruction and she's horrified about the aesthetics of that.... she's still a very proud, smart and beautiful lady. 

The mental health side of all this is something we don't talk about enough and when faced with life or death it feels superficial but it matters to many of us. 
 

i on the other hand wish they would just take mine off, they are a constant worry and I'd gladly do without them but they won't do that because we don't have the gene. 

I'm so happy your mum is doing well she's a absolute star going through all this 

yes it's funny how we just become used to the idea I mean sort of accept it as we no the things they can do now are amazing we will survive this cancer won't win no chance ️ ️
