Hi everyone, Well it's coming up to 7 weeks since I had my 3 yearly breast screening and I still feel that this is all a bad dream. I have grade 2 invasive lobular carcinoma. I have just had the results of the MRI and the mass is 30mm and not the 15mm they first thought. I'm booked in for a lumpectomy on the 30th and then radiation therapy. My main worry is that I live on my own so I don't know how I will pay all my bills. I live in a 2 bed, private rented house so I don't know what help I can get. Also how long will i be off of work for? I know that I can't do anything for the first 2 weeks but I don't know how the radiation therapy and drugs will affect me as I also suffer with mild chronic fatigue. I have been told that at the moment I won't need chemo so I should count that as a blessing. Work haven't been very forthcoming with what they will pay me so im pretty stressed. The nurse has asked the Macmillan CAB to get in touch but I've not heard any thing yet. Has anyone got any advice or been in the same situation?
