    Hi Gillsis,

    Welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear of your sister's diagnosis. She has a hard road ahead on her cancer journey. Your support will be invaluable to her. Just be there for her, especially on her darker days - we all have them. Your sister is likely to be fatigued at times, so even practical help with cooking and household chores will be appreciated. Try to make memories together too.

    There are a number of people on this forum who have grade 3 breast cancer and they all manage in their own ways. I hope that some of them will be along to chat to you soon.

    I haven't had chemo or radiotherapy, but have had a double mastectomy 10 years ago. If I can be of any help to you, all you have to do is ask.
    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
