I am so sorry to hear that you have just been told that you have breast cancer. Do you know what type of breast cancer you have, or what stage it is? Receiving a cancer diagnosis always comes as a shock. It opens up so many unknowns and gives reign to out overactive imaginations. It takes some time to get to the stage where we know exactly what treatment will lie ahead, but it does become easier to deal with, once you know what you have to face.
Treatments for breast cancer have come a long way in recent years and more people are now living with it. I myself, have had 2 bouts, within a year of each other. That was 14 years ago now and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life - here's hoping that you will too.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.
i dont know yet what type it is, going tomorow to find out. Dr said its 15mm and im sure she also the ultra sound in my armpit was clear. But the look on her face keeps making me think she knows it is bad.
I'm glad to hear that you'll find out more tomorrow. The waiting for results is always torture. Although your doctor may think that you have cancer, she won't know how bad it is, until the biopsy results come back. If your armpit looks clear on ultrasound, this is good news, as cancer usually spreads via the lymph nodes.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on tomorrow - I'll be thinking of you.
I was diagnosed in August. Mine was also er postive her2 negatives. I had wide lumpectomy 2 weeks ago tomorrow and lymph nodes removed. All good no pain .little discomfort. was driving by last Friday. Back for results this week . If all well will start radiotherapy in January .they will let me know this week. I was so worried but really there was no need surgery was so smooth and quick and my wounds have healed amazingly.cant believe how neat everything is. I don't really know what I was expecting,but it's nowhere near what I imagined. So please stay positive and try not to over worry .good luck with everything xx
this is what my letter said, mammogram showed a 15mm ill-defined mass in the left upper inner quadrant areolar position, 40mm from the nipple. i dont know how bad this is
Mine was Ductal & invasive 22mm . All very postive from my MDT team . I couldn't comment medically on your letter as I am not trained . I will say so much that can be done these days and so many positive journeys on here including my own and a family member. Although the unknown is very scary ,once you know the treatment path a weight is lifted. Stay positive and keep in touch xxx
