On the 6th July while trying on a dress I noticed one boob looked smaller. The nipple slightly inverted. My age 73 years.
On the 6th August the GP referred me to a one stop breast clinic. Following several hour and biopsies i wasgiven a follow up appointment for 16 days to see a surgeon. The surgeon confimed Invasive Ductal carcinoma and advised excision of breast tumour and sentinel lymph node. 17 days later I had the surgery.
25 days later I was told I required excision of all lymph nodes. One month follow up i was told 9 lymph nodes were positive.
I would need a CT scan and bone scan. I had infact had a CT scan done 5 weeks earlier as I was unhappy with the time they were taking. The CT scan had been put on back burner!!! The following day I was told spread to bones
I'm having bone scan tomorrow and seeing Oncologist wednesday. This is my experience with the NHS and I feel it is disgraceful
