I had another appointment today at the hospital and am feeling much more positive. Although I still have to have my breast lump removed (scared stiff)the doctors are fairly confident it isn't cancer so are only taking the actual lump, not an area around it. This means that I'm having an 'excision biopsy' rather than lumpectomy, which in turn means that it will be done in a day surgery. I'm relieved at not having to stay in for too long and also glad the doctor seemed more optimistic, although we won't be 100% sure what it is until it is out.
All I can do now is wait for my appointment which should be after easter.
Any more news from Anchovies and Mummylonglegs?
