Just diagnosed, CT scan in a few hours. Terrified.

I was just diagnosed today, after visiting a plastic surgeon to have my implants removed because I no longer wanted them. The skin was ulcerated on the right so he ordered a biopsy to rule out cancer. Got the call today saying unfortunately it is and here I am now. I have a CT scan this morning then I’m not sure what happens after.

I’m only 32.I’m afraid the cancer has spread. Like I said I have implants. And my right side has been getting high and tight for some time. And it is very painful. But this can be a side effect of implants so I waited. Guess I shouldn’t of. Have any of you ladies dealt with an ulcerative tumor? Or have implants? I'm not sure if they affect treatment.

I can’t help you answer questions about implants. I don’t have them. I just saw your post in the Active Threads and wanted to respond. I know how frightened you must be. I’m just through the tests phase awaiting diagnosis. I’m very anxious. This is the hardest time. Waiting for answers. It’s hard. It’s scary. So, i’m Just sending you a virtual hug. Cancer is the pits. It changes everything

Hi Jlynn, Snaffle is right. This really is the hardest and most frightening time because you don't know what's going on and you have almost zero control. It will get better once your tests are complete and a plan of action is in place. I was also terrified. I was also afraid it was spreading. It will get better. Come here and ask as many questions as you like. Everyone is wonderful.
