Diagnosed ER+ PR+ HER2-

Hi All,

I recently noticed a change it the way my left breast looked, nipple inverting only slightly but noticeable to me. I for a few weeks took photos and kept checking thinking it was due to my hormones and the coil being fitted in March 2024 due to heavy bleeding and clot issues.

18th September my GP examined and couldn’t feel any lumps but I was referred to have mammogram.

2nd October Mammogram completed along with scan which found a lump 1.5cm behind the nipple and swelling in my lymph in armpit. Whilst there 2 biopsy taken for further investigation

Further appointment was confirmed for 5th November for results but I was so anxious and suffer with high bloood pressure I called and appointment brought forward to 22nd October

Feeling nervous and worried but thinking all will be ok I was told I had Breast Cancer grade 2 ER+ PR+ HER2 and surgery planned for 20th December to remove nipple and aerola with biopsy of the synoid in armpit and removal of lymph 

started Tamoxifen meds and coil removed

Now a waiting game for surgery and the treatment plan after

Feeling Lots of things and just reaching out to people that have experienced the same diagnosis

  • I am sorry to hear you are going through this .  My diagnosis is the same, but I have 6cm at the bottom of my breast and a 1.5cm under my nipple.  I am having surgery on saturday.  I haven't been prescribed any medication since diagnosis though.  X

  • Hi Jovie

    so sorry to hear of your diagnosis I send you wishes and hope your surgery goes well and you have a good recovery. Thank you for your message i appreciate it. Keep me posted on your progress and keep positive through the process. They say to me it’s been caught early I hope you can take comfort that someone else is on this journey and you are it alone xxx

  • Saralou123.  Thank you.  I will keep you posted.  I am having 2 surgeons one for cancer side and one for reconstruction side.  They cannot save my nipples as too much  risk as I have diabetes, so keeping the scar tissue to a minimum.  Because I have larger breast ( first time I feel this is a positive) they hope to save some breast to make 2 small boobs.  Also taking 3 lymph nodes, but did say they looked ok.   I was told I will have radiotherapy afterwards and maybe chemo, but they don't know yet.  I am really nervous about the recovery.  It will definitely help having someone to message thats going through the same x

  • Hey it’s normal to feel nervous I am too feeling the same as you xxx I’ve not planned for any reconstruction but will decide later. I know you will be in good hands. I’m the same planned for radio but may need chemo xx we can chat as we in it together xx
