7. 8th April 2021 - Has Tilly Behaved?

Today is D day - I rock up at the Breast Clinic - it's running late but, having met Miss D, I totally understand why and bear no grudges at all - she is just doing her fabulous job. It feels strange being there alone knowing that I will be receiving life-changing information but also it is how I tend to deal with things - as I said before I'm strong and a control freak. I just go in and do what needs doing without the emotion of being with a loved one and feeling I have to protect them - I can just pass through and keep my emotions at bay! I am eventually called in and receive a warm and welcoming smile - evident even beneath the face mask!

The good news is that Tilly is around 22mm so I can have the lumpectomy first. This makes me happy as I just want her removed as quickly and efficiently as possible.

She aims to do the operation on the 19th of April, and after a couple of weeks to heal I will see an oncologist to determine a treatment plan.

I leave better informed, nervous for the operation, irrationally scared about having to wait so long (10 days - really not that long!) and determined to fight this hideous thing. And life carries on.
