Hi I'm 52 and was diagnosed last September with stage 2 breast cancer, although I have great family and friend support I haven't spoken to anyone who has had breast cancer yet, I had my first chemo and due to have the second this week, my first went surprisingly well with few symptoms I wanted to ask does it get worse each time? Or vary? My consultant says it'll be the same, anyone got any views on this? 

  • Hello Cazz, 

    I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer but I'm glad you have a good support network around you to help you on your cancer journey. There are many members here on the forum that have also been diagnosed with breast cancer and hopefully some of them will post soon to offer their support and shate their experiences with you. You can also find other members and their discussions about breast cancer by using the 'search forum' option above.

    I hope this helps and that your second round of chemo goes just as well as the first. If you do have any questions about chemo do feel free to give our cancer nurses a call. Their number is 0808 800 4040, which is free from a UK landline, and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m  -5p.m.

    All the best,
