A very warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear about your symptoms and fully understand your anxiety. Can I just assure you that this is perfectly normal, but you will feel better once you know what you are dealing with.
Are you a Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetic? I am a type 2 and was diagnosed with breast cancer 11 years ago. I had a lumpectomy followed by Tamoxifen. Almost a year to the day of my first surgery, I discovered another lump in the same breast and had a double mastectomy, followed by Letrozole for 6½ years. I stopped taking this in July 2017 and am still leading a busy and fulfilled life.
I lost my mum to secondary breast cancer before I was diagnosed, but there was no comparison between the diagnosis, treatment and after care which we both received. All have come a long way in the interim. Breast cancer is now one of the most treatable forms of cancer.
I sincerely hope that all turns out well for you. Don't forget to let us know when you get your results. Please remember that we are always here for you.
