Newly diagnosed ?

Hello all you lovely people. 

Diagnosed 13th August 2020. 3cm  Stage 2 grade 3 IDC…found after a 6 week fitness detox. Was feeling my best EVER but with the weight loss on the boobies I felt a lump! Jumped straight on it! Last Mammogram was Aug 2018 and nothing seen then. Had MRI yesterday and just sat waiting for results …I’m reaching out because I’m really really scared xxx

Hi Beachbum 

you’ll be thinking how and why me but once you’ve processed everything you’ll go into natural autopilot. I had my Op on 13th for 4cm, grade3 IDC with nodes but tbh I’m now 6 days post Op. and I’m ready for the next treatment journey and seeing consultant Monday for results of Op. Take your time to process the information and don’t worry if you’ve got more questions because on here there’s so much knowledge. Good luck with your MRI, ou won’t think you can do it but you can! Good luck and ask lots of questions xx :two_hearts:

I had same experience. Went on SlimmingWorld lost 2 stone and had started daily exercise and found lump changing out of workout clothes. GP next day (2 July). Although I’m hindsight it’s been incredibly quick (had surgery a week ago) that waiting around and doing tests and follow ups was terrifying.   Sending hugs and best wishes and just know you are doing the best you and did the right thing for yourself by acting without delay. 

I found my lump on the 10th July booked in for lumpectomy and isotopes on the 14th Sept. Having to self isolate for two weeks and the fear that things could be getting worse whilst I wait is keeping me awake.

told my boys today that mummy needed an operation which has added to the sleepless night tonight. 

I have found this forum really helpful and it’s nice to be able to talk/write to people experiencing the same emotions.
