I am 46 and have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer in the left which was first found as a lump. I had a fn bioposy and was told i had precancerous cells in calcifications in the breast so would need a mx.Then they decided to test the other breast only to drop the bomb shell that I had a radial scar in this breast so would need a lumpectomy as well.I go in on the 19th is anyone else in the same boat?
Hi pumpkinbum
Firstly, welcome to the forums, I am sure you will find it a great source of information and support.
I’m sorry to read of your diagnosis, the first few days and weeks are always difficult when coming to terms with things and getting to grips with your treatment plans, etc.
Whilst you wait for the other users to reply with their support and experiences you might find it helpful to order the BCC resources pack.
