Hi millie

I just saw ur post and firstly wanted to say how sorry i am that u have been diagnosed.  Im hoping that i can put ur mind at rest as i can imagine u will be imagining all sorts at the moment.  I was diagnosed with grade 2 invasive ductal cancer in february.  I had a lumpectomy and a sentinel node biopsy and i had 2 positive lymph nodes, then i had a CT scan and a bone scan which confirmed my cancer had not spread.  I started chemo on 16th april.  I have days where i cant get out of bed but the majority of the time im well enough to meet friends and do my shopping.  Yes the side effects can be rough but your oncology team will look after you and give u any medication u need.  I have my 5th chemo next week with my final chemo in 4 weeks and i cant believe how quick it had gone.  I hope u have a great support network as believe me u will neee them and rely on them as much as u can.  I know its probably a difficult time but try to stay positive as much as u can.  You are still young and have loads of time to recover.  Please dont think the worst - i know u feel like u are on a rollercoaster of emotions and u will have a lot of appointments but literally take it slowly and one day at a time.

Hope ive been of some help

Take care
