Morning,
I went to the breast clinic yesterday after finding a dent in my left breast. I could feel a lumpish bit too away from the dent. I was examined and sent for ultrasound. As soon as the very lovely male radiologist put the probe on my breast he said, no we need mammograms first. So after 6 mammograms of both breasts I return to have my ultrasound. The male radiologist was with another female radiologist too this time, and said he has found a lesion and needs to biopsy it so they can see what treatment will best cure it. I then asked the dreaded question, is it cancer? To which he nodded. When I asked if he was sure he took my hand and tilted his head then went on to say how the surgeons were amazing and everything would be OK. After 2 more mammograms on my left breast, I then saw the breast surgeon who said the radiologist had graded my lump as 5, meaning cancer. I have biopsy results next Wednesday.
Could they be wrong? Could it still be benign? I lost my dear Mum to pancreatic cancer in January this year, so to put my poor family through this again after a roller-coaster year is terrifying. I am 36 with 2 boys and a stepson, and I feel responsible for looking after my family after the loss of my Mum, I'm worried who will look after them all if I have to have treatment etc.
Sorry for waffling on!
Rachael
