Hi, i'm new to this forum. Grade 3 breast tumour, had 3 off FEC and 2 off Taxotere, however the chemo gas stopped working and the tumour is rapidly growing. Mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy scheduled for Thursday, 26.03.15. Getting nervous but okay

    Hi there.i was diagnosed late Dec with grade 2 tumour in my breast with another area same breast with precancer cells.I was advised to have full mastectomy with setinal node biopsy.This was carried out on 2 nd Feb. I was thankfully told the nodes were clear.I can honestly say ive had no pain and no problems since the surgery.i have had a prothesis fitted.I go on Friday to see the oncologist to see if I need chemo or radiotherapy.Fingers crossed I wont need more treatment.I will be having reconstruction later in the year.All the best with your op, the thought is worse than the deed!

    Its only natural your nervous before your op and Ive been there too. Diagnosed with grade 2 last year and had bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction done in October.  They used tissue from my tummy to rebuild ( DIEP reconstruction ). You WILL get through this, just stay strong and keep positive.  My breast care nurse said attitude is 70% of the battle, so keep fighting young lady.

    Will be thinking of you on the 26th and sending up prayers for your recovery.

    Hi, I'm so sorry to hear it has stopped working, by now you will have had your op and I hope all went well. I also have a grade 3 lump but mine disappeared after my second Fec, I haven't been great on the chemo and I'm due to have Docetaxel 9/4 and I'm very anxious about it. Any way hope your doing ok. Andria
