Early days - Hopes / Fears

I'm really really hoping that the procedure will just be a 'lumpectomy', where they remove the yucky cells and perhaps a bit around the edges just to be sure. The bad bit is at "10 - 11 o'clock" on my right breast, which is facing the middle, if you know what I mean. The good news (so far) is that it's not close in to my arm pit. The guy on the cancer helpline even said that it's not likely to 'travel', because of the type that it is. Interestingly enough, he also said it's not a genetic/hereditary type, so good news also for my female relatives. Of course, they have no idea what's caused it, and neither do I. It's just "one of those things".
