Hi,
I’m Sam and in my early 50’s. I have been living with moderate/severe ME for over 15 years. I’m married to my gorgeous, amazing, caring husband.
At the end of January 2023 I had a routine mammogram and shortly after received the letter inviting me for further tests. Early February I went to the breast screening centre for further mammograms and an ultrasound. An 15mm lump was found in my right breast which the Doctor told me was cancer. He took two biopsies and left me with a little piece of titanium (a marker) in my right breast. I’ve decided to call this lump, the imposter in my body, ‘Micky’ after Metal Mickey. It’s an age thing!
Update - received the biopsy results and have Invasive ductal carcinoma,
mucinous type (G2)
ER 7/8. PR 7/8. Her2 4B5 is score 0
Lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy booked for the end of March. I’ve got this.
