Tuning in the Radio

I’ve posted a lot about my journey recently, now is probably a good time to recap and think about what has happened.

I felt a very small hard lump, like a dried pea in my left breast (I thought it was nothing to worry about). To give me reassurance I made an appointment with my GP. The GP assessed me and immediately referred me to the breast clinic. I was seen 5 days later. I had several mammograms, ultrasound scans and biopsies to ascertain what the lump was. 

I received my results the same day.

There was a brief chat about various treatment options but nothing in any detail. (My head was spinning with the information).

I was diagnosed with breast cancer that day.

A follow up appointment was made to meet and chat to the Surgical Consultant.

At this appointment we had a number of discussions with the Consultant, some more cringeworthy than others!!

We’ve just been told about the diagnosis and the possible treatment options. 

The consultant asks, "do you have one breast smaller than the other?". 

I say "I am actually unsure". 

At this point my husband holds his hands up again as though adjusting the dials on a radio, with a slight look of pleasure and says "yes ..the left"!! 

Oh dear!!

Remember to check often, easiest time is in the shower or lying on your back in bed. If someone offers to help .......then its a bonus!!!👀
