I had no symptoms but the brilliant radiographer spotted something iffy + sent me for further tests + eventually a biopsy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LolVegRJp\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cSince then I\u2019ve had more mammograms, more biopsies and an MRI so they can pinpoint the problem area precisely. It\u2019s been a lot, I\u2019m not going to lie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LolVegRJp\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cBut, my surgery is scheduled for the week after next and I just want to get it over with now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LolVegRJp\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cI\u2019m getting incredible care and all will be fine but I\u2019m not engaging with much beyond audiobooks + jigsaws tbh.
