Hi all,
Just coming on here for a bit of advice or a bit of a chat.
I found a lump 3 weeks ago, went to the doctor the next day. She faxed off for an urgent referral to the mater clinic. She advised me to try to go private for a mamogram if i could as it might speed things up. I was lucky and got an appointment for a mamo the next day in the mater private.
I went down to the doctor a week later to see if results were in. Not good. they found a suspious area and calcifications.
I had my appointment yesterday in the mater for the tripple assesment. They did an 'extra view' mamo, and scan. They found 2 lumps. One is definately not a cyst (irregular shape).
They did a core biopsy on the two lumps and on a lymph node.
Had a chat with the surgeon, and its not looking good. He said that they were very concerned as there were a couple of suspious areas.
Im back in on the 1st of march for the results, and their plan of treatment. He did say that no matter what it was it was going to involve major surgery. I think he is trying to prepare me for the worst, well maybe not the worst, but it certainly isnt the best.
Its going to be a long 10 days
Any advice would be very helpful.
Oh and im 38, with 4 children, so am quite concerned about the future.
