Newly diagnosed

Hi Jane

I have been diagosed with Micropalliary Cancer in the breast - a 4 x 5 cm mass and has spread to my armpit (axilla). See the consultant on Friday and get to know what they are going to do!

How are you? Can you give me any advise?

I am just so frightened. Going though a messy divorce so this is just the icing on the cake!

Kind regards

Jackie

Hi Jackie

Welcome to the club that no one wants to join but is full of lovely people. So sorry you are going through such a bad time but if you can, draw support from all of us, who have also been scared, no terrified, when we got the news. Every case is different and every person is going through different challenges, but we all know how you feel. Keep posting and we’ll stay in touch. I had lumpectomy and sentinel node removal on 10 Feb and see my surgeon on Friday for results. It was a major shock to me and I’ve had some major meltdowns, good job I had lots of boxes of tissues in the house and don’t mention the tearful nights, early hours of the morning, horrible. Sending you virtual hugs xx Francine
