Due to all the great support I’ve had recently this is a repost
On returning to the clinic we met the Consultant and the Breast Specialist Nurse.
What happened next still feels bizarre, surreal and blurry.
As lovely as the Consultant had been, she was very direct and said
‘The fine needle biopsy results are back and its not what we expected, I’m sorry to tell you, but we have found cancerous cells present in your breast and axillary lymph nodes ’
I just felt like I’d fallen into alternative reality. I felt like I had been punched in the stomach with an unwielding force. I couldn’t process what was being said. I started to cry. I had gone into shock. They asked if I had any questions…nope nothing, my brain had gone to mush. I honestly couldn’t process the information enough to formulate even the most basic of questions.
Neither Craig nor I had prepared ourselves for this.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REMEMBER MY OLD ATTITUDE TOWARDS
BREAST CANCER
I’m too young, I have very few risk factors, I lead a healthy lifestyle and exercise regularly. I’m alright, not my problem, always happens to other people, nothing to worry about because it won’t happen to me.
Probably similar thoughts as most of you have while reading this.
(How many of the above do you fall into?)
