Frenchie, did you accidentally post your question before you finished it?  Right now there is no question, just a sentence you appear to have started and left incomplete.  I'm sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis although it's good that it is in its early stages.  Let us know if you have questions.

This was two weeks ago.  My breast hurts and is swollen.  I will most likely see the doctor tomorrow but I am concerned.

 

Any advice?

Hi - Your doctor will deliver a LOT of information at your appointment. It really helps to have a friend or family member come with you to take notes and help you think of questions. The amount of info. delivered quickly can be overwhelming, so don't be afraid to ask the doctor to slow down, and explain things. That's the best information I can give you right now. "Early" cancer sounds like a good diagnosis - as far as cancer diagnoses go! So take heart - you'll probably go through treatment just fine and leave this behind you, a memory that will eventually fade, just like your scars. Good luck - PJH
