Hi Astra, thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is feeling like this 😁 Apparently it is standard practice to remove the sentinel lymph node to double check it is clear at my hospital in Calderdale. I have only told people who need to know such as close family and work, maybe that is what is keeping me grounded, if not many people know then it isn't real as no one is being kind and sympathetic which I think will make me cry. Good luck with your results, hopefully they have got the critter 😁 sending gentle hugs ❤

Hi, I have now met with the breast care team and I have my plan. I have been diagnosed with Invasive Ductal cancer, grade 1, 13mm in size. it was found at my first mammogram, which I am so grateful for. I am having a lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node removal on the 2nd Oct, my biopsy of my lymph nodes was clear. I feel okay, I'm not sure how I should feel? I have only told my work colleagues and close family but this means that I feel I am boring them when I want to talk about what is going to happen. I am so confused about how I'm feeling/ reacting as I keep waiting for it to hit me and it hasn't. Sorry for the waffle, I just needed to day it somewhere 🤔 ❤

thank you for this J I have tried to be positive and play it down for everyone else but really I am a bag of nerves. Hopefully it will be better after my appointment on Monday. Thank you again xx

Hi, I'm new to this, I'm meeting the surgeon and after care nurse Monday. my cancer is approx 13mm and grade 1 (?). I have felt a bit of a fraud telling family and my boss that I have BC as the lump is small but today I have felt very weepy. I think it is because on Monday I find out what next 😟
