I chatted to 6 others with breast cancer , all different stages and treatments Treatments come a long way I'm going to get one for my granddaughter So come on.. Hi your story sounds so like mines. I got my referral but everyone seemed to think it was fine until scan where I then had biopsy.
Straight away doctor was in saying it's probably a form of breast cancer. Within the wk I had ct and mri. It's terrifying how your thrown in to all these tests especially while trying to get your head around it.
I've to go bk for another biopsy on my other side now and genetic testing cause of my age. Couldn't break the news to anyone and just wanted to hide away. Honestly now my family and close friends know I feel abit of relief.
Think the guilt was my hardest adjustment over last couple of wks. Just felt I was putting it on them by telling them if that makes sense. You will feel better once they know as any more info is then expected xxx.
Thanks Chrissie. I know it's a long road ahead but its reassuring to know that others feel the same in terms of the unknown seeming like the worst bit - I just want to know how big of a battle I'm fighting! I will definitely try and take it one problem at a time.
My job involves telling others In really rough times to take things one day at a time so it's time to take my own advice! Sorry to hear you have to go through this too!
Sounds same as me- due to have ct and possibly MRI next week. I feel the same with what you said, I hate putting others through this and seeing them upset! I am in much the same position as you. I am 29 and diagnosed today, also a 4cm lump. I have to go for a CT scan for the same reasons as you. If you'd like to chat at any time as we navigate this time, feel free to send me a message.

The American Cancer Society and recommends that people with a cervix get screened for cervical cancer starting at age Women should be aware of how their breasts normally look and feel, and should have any changes checked by a doctor.
But screening might be recommended earlier for some women who are at high risk because of a strong family history or other factors. Some people have a higher risk of certain types of cancer because of a strong family history or because of specific gene changes they inherit from a parent. These might put a person at higher risk for cancers such as melanoma skin cancer , or breast , colorectal , thyroid , or other cancers. These people may need careful, regular exams or tests starting at an early age to look for signs of cancer.
