Back here again..

11 yrs ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 47..hormone responsive...removed, chemo and radio...all been good...last month routine mammogram found a tumour in the other breast...this one is triple negative...life is so unfair...most days I can hardly breathe through worrying.. they say it's small but you have all these aches and pains...and all you can think of..is....what if....

  • Hi CoffeeTable

    I’m so sorry to hear this. I was diagnosed with stage 2 hormone responsive cancer in 2017 and had two operations, chemo and radiotherapy. Last year I found a lump in my other breast- which turned out to be triple negative stage 3. I’ve now finished treatment; lumpectomy, chemo and radiotherapy all again. What stage are you at now? Have they scheduled surgery?
    i have found it easier this time round as I knew what to expect and that I was capable of getting through it. In some ways it’s really good that you’re thinking it through and imagining the worst. I’ve found that thinking the worst and getting used to that being a possibility at some stage means you’ve done your worrying and now I can focus on what I actually want to do with whatever time I have. 
    I think it’s whatever works for you. Sending lots of love and best wishes

  • Hi

    Thank you for your kind words. It's comforting to know that there's ladies out there which are just as unlucky as me and l mean that in the nicest possible way. My surgery is scheduled for middle of June. They say it's a grade 2 and that the lymph nodes are looking OK but will know for sure after surgery,  so keeping my fingers crossed.
