Scared for the future!

Iv'e been diagnosed with grade 3 idc breast cancer her2- er8 pr8, 10 out of 30 lymph nodes affected! I've had a left mastectomy and lymph node clearance and currently having chemo EC-T! Ct scan and mri clear! I' m terrified that the prognosis isnt good and are there others who are ok with a similar diagnosis that could make me feel more positive for the future? X

  • Hi

     

    do you mind me asking how you're getting on now? (Similar diagnoses and scared)

     

    thanks 

  • Hi, sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis but just to make you feel a little more positive i want you to know that i will be 5 years clear in October this year and im feeling great and so will you! Stay positive and even though the treatments are tough you will get through them and kick this 'c' to the kerb! I finished my treatments and swapped from Tamoxifen to Letrozole due to being post menopausal after chemotherapy, i also requested bisphosphonate infusions to protect my bones and i signed up to a clinical trial (add aspirin) as the research team give you regular checks and keep a closer eye on you! Other than that i try and keep healthy and exercise and im getting on with my life, you will get there and if i can help in any way just get in touch, take care Debbie x

  • Thanks so much Debbie. So kind of you to reply this far down the line. I had actually seen that aspirin trial as it is still ongoing so I might ask my oncologist about it, just for the extra checks. 
     

    So glad you are doing well. Xx

  • Sorry, one more thing- do they give you CT scans as part of this trial ? 
     

    thanks x
