Thanks again for your comments, I had a look on facebook but could not see anything - if anyone can post a link I would really appreciate it.
I was reading about the young womens forums away - there is one in Edinburgh in a few weeks but its a bit too soon for me - I have a lot to do at work in next couple of weeks but I will keep an eye out for other dates
thanks again everyone 🙂

Hi Lades - thank you for all your kind and helpful comments. I am due to have my surgery on 21st March a so its not too long a wait and will give me a chance to be organised for time off work - thankfully my employers are very supportive. I have been told that they will remove the lump and tissue around also remove 1 or 2 lymph glands from the armpit (although I think this if for research purposes)
Thank you Lydia for the info on the holiday insurance I had not really thought about that!
They gave me a resourse pack from Breast Cancer Care which is how I ended up her! the information is very good and infomative as I do seem to have quite a lot of questions I need answered, The "personal record" book looks good and a way of keeping a note of the quesitons you need answered.
thanks again
Caroline xx

I went to the doctors less than 3 weeks ago as I had discovered a lump on my breast, he initially thought it may be a cyst and referred me to the breast clinic. The appointment came through quickly and I was seen 2 weeks later (Monday) The consultant looked with utrasound and said it was not a cyst and I was immediatly sent for a mammogram and biopsy. I went back today for the results and was told i have Invasive Ductal Cancer grade 2 I am now a bit shell shocked although the consultant is confident it is treatable with operation to remove the lump & tissue and then radiotherapy and possible chemotherapy. I am only 43 so not subject to regular testing you get when over 50 - I am just thankful that a team from Breast Cancer Care came to give a talk in my work about checking your breasts regularly and its importance even with younger women.
I am not particularly looking forward to operation & treatment following but I am thankful I live in an area with one of the best hospitals & univercities & reasearch centres in the country.
When I was asked if I had any questions, I asked if I would be ok to go on my holiday booked for end of August and the consultant and the nurse said it should not pose any problems and a great goal to work towards.
