Breast cancer at 33… strong lymph node involvement chemo next - looking for reassurance/positive stories

Hi all

I’m a 33 year old female who was diagnosed with stage 2 IDC in August, I’m ER and PR positive, HER2 keeps coming back borderline/not amplified. I had a MRI and CT which came back clear.

I had a lumpectomy and axillary node clearance on 14th sept and got my results back last week. I was so positive and felt a bit shocked, the tumour got clear margins but 23/30 nodes tested positive and I know need chemo, I’m seeing my consultant on Wednesday.

I was a bit disheartened as asked my breast surgeon if I would be ok and she said “we can only hope so” has anyone else been in my situation and been ok? I’m really worried
