Breast cancer

Hi everyone im in shock tbh got a four cm lump had biopsy taken in lump and lymph node area today  consultant said highly probable cancer ! Going back in ten days for results ! Due to the size im wondering wether i will need a lumpectomy or mastectomy ! Has anyone had a lump this size and what did you end up having ? When i go back in ten days what questions should i be asking ? Thankyou xx

  • Hi Lovely,

    it’s a big shock.... mine was given in mm so will have to look what 4 cm looks like.....can you feel lump?

    It could be benign.... It’s a minefield of questions to ask and then you can’t take it all in..... 

    I feel for you Hun as us on here are all in same boat,one we didn’t want to be in.....

    My lump was 7mm and I had a lumpectomy 9 days ago and my lymph nodes were checked then by removing the first 3 and thankfully clear... 

    i know it’s hsrd and I’m still trying to accept mine even now,here for a chat anytime 

    Love Jackie xxx

  • Hi jackie yes there is a lump hard and not moveable ! Its a big shock but trying to stay positive . I hope u have a speedy recovery and take care xx

  • I know they are lovely,mine couldn’t be felt by me or even the Doctors,picked up on a mammogram...

    Let the tears go if you want too,i bottled mine up until after my operation and it was floodgates....but assured by the BCN it’s best to let them out.... 

    If lymph nodes are clear then it will be a lumpectomy if it is the C.... so everything crossed it’s not or if it is then everything crossed your lymph nodes will be clear...

    keep in touch Hun as it’s horrible to be alone when we are all together in this...

    love and squishy hugs Jackie xxx

  • Thankyou jackie much appreciated i will let uou know in ten days what the outcome is xx
