Hi there and thank for the post

I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis and your upcoming treatment.

This must be an anxious time for you and it is understandable to want to be doing all the right things leading up to surgery.

We have information about sex and cancer on our website. As far as I can see there are no risks linked to nipple foreplay during sex before surgery. You may wish to double check with your own specialist nurse or doctor.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Best wishes,

Naomi

Thank you Naomi. I have been told my cancer cells are grade 3 fast growing. What is the known likelihood of this type of cancer to come back./ recurrence in future years please?

Hi and thank you for your further post.

Several things can affect the risk of your cancer coming back. Including how fast-growing it is (grade), the size of the cancer, and how far it has spread (stage) along with how well you respond to treatment.

Your team at the hospital would be better able to talk this through with you as they know your situation. You may find it helpful to speak with your breast specialist nurse (CNS), you may need to leave a message but they will get back to you.

Please feel free to get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care, all the best,
