So the registrar wasn't wrong. The breast cancer has made a miraculous return to my body, despite having a double mastectomy.
This time though, its gone one better. The cancer is invasive: Grade 2 ER+ 8 PR+ 8 Her2 negative but apparently it is NST - no special type.
Its a whirlwind of a day. I'm told by my consultant that its small, in fact he says he would have sent me away and told me not to worry!
So next steps is to get me in for surgery - a wide local incision (WLE) on 2nd September.
I'm also being sent for genetic testing - something that I requested last time around but it want available on the NHS. Now the rules have changed and so because I was first diagnosed at 36, I can be tested for various genetic mutations that could cause cancer.
Wish me luck x
