Hello, I am beside myself with grief and worry. On Monday 7th Dec I went to my emergency referral after feeling a large lump in my right breast after a few tender days and what seemed like an angry flair up/ inflammation. The consultant seemed very concerned and I ended up with a triple assessment including 5 biopsies, 2 from my breast and 3 from my lymph nodes, I was not expecting that! After the consultant saw me again and said I will need to have surgery on my breast and lymph nodes and need adjuvant treatments.My mammogram imaging recorded a 53mm lump with micro calcifications and thickening of the skin ( M5). The ultrasound showed I had 3 suspicious lymph nodes (U4) and breast with microcalcifications extending to the nipple (U5).   My biopsy results aren't for another 6 days on Wednesday  23rd December. I have never felt so alone and scared. I live with my 2 sons (21 and 22 yrs old) I've completely lost myself and resigned to having some form of breast cancer but how extreme I don't know. The imaging and what the consultants saw seems grave. Is there a chance it's not as bad as I'm believing? I need some hope to get through to my appointment next week. Its all so consuming.
