Hi all, I discovered my lump on my first day of my holiday at my son’s in Canada. I chose not to tell them at the time as they had health issues with my grandson and nothing could be done anyway. Since then I have been diagnosed with a malignant tumour and am waiting for the results of the biopsy to determine what type and grade. Feel that every ache and pain means I’m riddled!.. It all feels soo scary and even though I am able to put on a good positive show for my friends and relatives, some of it is absolute bravado… Thursday is my telling day… that’s when I go for the results of the biopsy and find out what they intend to do…
Hi letitia57
I see from the time of your post that this is probably keeping you awake. What you’re feeling is completely normal and it does get better once you have a treatment plan. I was grade 3, stage 2 but have now completed treatment, so it can be done! Please ask away if you have any queries or concerns, we all understand.
Take care
Julia xx
