Sorry to hear this and truly know how you feel which is normal. Don’t jump to conclusions about what cancer means if you can. I can share my situation which may go some way to reassure you. I also found a lump 66yrs old but was last July). It was cancer in the lymph nodes but also found another in the breast not related to the lymph node cancer. Apparently they couldn’t find the breast cancer that spread to the lymph nodes as the one they found was grade 2 and the nodes was grade 3. 11 out of 21 nodes cancerous so all removed. I’ve had cancer removed with lumpectomy and total node clearance, chemo and awaiting radiotherapy to start 13 April after a holiday. Radiotherapy will be for 3 weeks. They’ve told me it’s not terminal cancer so treatable. Mine was aggressive fast growing. I will need medication to suppress oestrogen and other to help stop further cancer growth. Mine all sounded scary at each stage with a lot of waiting for biopsy results and scans but you do get there. It’s just a bumpy ride so buckle up and stay positive. I know that sounds easier than it is but you are not alone.
