Hello JaneP-Herts

like you I found a lump on my left breast about 5 to 6 weeks ago.i have been fast tracked and had a triple assessment which resulted in the mammogram, the ultrasound, and biopsy results showing I have a 4cm tumour stage 2 grade 3 triple positive breast cancer (oestrogen, progesterone and HER2 all positive). I have had a CT scan and an MRI scan and the MRI scan has also shown nodules on my right breast, just found this out  days ago. I already know my consultant wants a 12 month treatment plan, where I start with Chemo for 6 months to reduce the tumour and then I will have an operation at 9 months and then radiotherapy in the hope the is will cure me. Whilst I have Chemo I have to have Herceptin or the alternative one injected at the same time. I don’t have the triple negative but do have the triple positive which is an invasive breast tumour which grows quickly.so by having this treatment it’s going to stop the receptors in their tracks from growing and stop the cells in their tracks. I am definitely worried and frightened of the treatment, especially the unknown, how it’s going to affect me and will I tolerate it. I will with my every might fight it. I have been signed off work already in preparation for chemo. I am waiting to see my oncologist to go through the plan next week and believe the plan is to start as soon as possible. Although we don’t have the same type of cancer I would be willing to be there for you, as everyone’s journey is personal but we will most likely.y have some similar worries and feelings going forward. I still have a few tests lined up to check my general health re heart etc.
