Hi, I am also new to all this. I am 50 and had a mammogram on 13 Jan 2012 , which was normal, then on 18th May I had a mammogram from work. (they offer free mammogram when you reach 40 )Should not have had one but something made me go.this mammogram showed up something.Had to have ultrasound and biopsy on 12th June in the CUH breast cancer unit, (they all are the nicest Dr. and nurses I have ever met) and the result was cancer. I am so so lucky they found it early, it is early, stage 1, grade 2. Had lumpectomy and lymph nodes 5 removed last Mon 9th July.Waiting for results on 20th July. It is the waiting that gets to me. Have great support from my husband, children and family. Feel very very lucky but also scared, Radiotherapy and hormone treatment definite, the rest ? till results. Either I am a very calm and strong person or it has not really sank in yet cos I have not cried but feel good and very positive even if very very scared.Would like to hear from others with early breast cancer , what was their treatment and outcome. Thinking of you all G xx
