Prince Philip decided he would leave Aberdeen Royal Infirmary once he got wind of my visit today! The car park was full of Paparazzi when we arrived but no sign of any of the Royals!
Stage one, getting the initial diagnosis, stage two getting MRI results.
Routine assessments for Pre Admission this morning, bloods, medical history, lungs, heart, blood pressure etc. had a meeting with the consultant at
2pm for MRI results. More or less what we had expected although I always hope for better. She said the cancer is in several areas of the breast including an area to the top side (the main mass is at “7 o’clock”). She also confirmed that it is Stage 2 (tumour size in-between 2 – 5cm). Lymph nodes will be checked with radio active substance and dye during mastectomy. Still waiting for an ultra sound appointment. Surgery will go ahead on Thursday 6th September and I am likely to be in for around three days or so depending how I feel about going home with the drains in.
PMT and a recent diagnosis of breast cancer – now there’s a cocktail and a challenge for everyone!
