2 months ago I notice a small and I mean small bead like lump In the left of my nipple, I went straight to the doctors where she said it was probably a milk duct as I had a baby 5months earlier. She referred me to a breast specialist as I had a huge family history of breast cancer also as I did not breastfeed.. I went to the specialist the following evening where he confirm a lump, he sent me down to have a ultra scan to confirm and a biopsy just to see what it was. He assured me it was most likely a milk duct and not to worry. I went back the following week and the news was I had a 14mm tumour which was cancerous I also had 35mm around it which was precancerous cells.. I was told I needed a double mastectomy asap.. Two weeks later I was taken in for my op. They were sure that it hadn't spread but in my op they found it had spread to the lymph noids. I had 19 lymphs removed in which it had spread to two of them, this meant 6 months of high dose chemotherapy as it was stage 2 grade 3 cancer which means it was aggressive and fast spreading... I start Chemo on the 27th December. I am 25 and never thought it could happen to me. I have my little boy, fiancée family and friends they give me so much positivity!!
