Breast getting bigger

It's only been a few days since my biopsy but my breast is changing daily , it's very read and swollen but only on one half  the pain comes and goes I bought a surgical bra which I recommend as it holds my breasts comfortable like a sports bra. It feels better as it supports the breast .I'm getting the diagnosis on Monday or Tuesday but deep down I already know.in being practical by packing a hospital bag and just cracking on .I've been told I can't have chemo due to covid , and I'm worried that by not having the chemo that the cancer will spread quicker as chemo kills the cancer cells .im prepared for a mastectomy just want to know what happens next .people will say I shouldn't worry but I can't explain it I know my body and I also know already that I'll have an agressive cancer as I can feel the changes .just feel so alone stuck in my house it's so weird line this is happening to someone else.

I have no partner or family it's just my my 2 kids who aee grown and they don't understand what is going on in my head and I want to protect them from worry I have told the oldest one but not the younger one yet as he lives further away and I can't do it by Skype .anyway this is so helpful to me as I feel less isolated being able to just say what I feel .if anyone else is going through the same thing like me and is waiting for results of a biopsy and is alone please message me as I could do with a friend and we could go through this together xxxx love to all of you amazing women xx

  • Hi Positivepolly,

    I so wanted to message you and to let you know your not alone my love xxx

    I'm not waiting for results, i've been through that part already and I wouldn't be on here now if it wasn't for a collegue of mine who had found a lump, which made me check mine. To cut a long story, my mamagram showed nothing, so if i had gone for routine one it would have been missed ! scary thought...

    Please read my profile and see what i've experienced,  I'm staring my chemo this Wednesday.

    If I can help in anyway or you just want a listening ear.  I'm here for you my love, Please don't feel alone xxx

    Kind regards

    Helen xxx
