Breast cancer

Hi I have just been diagnosed with her2 positive grade 3 breast cancer.  Seems I need chemotherapy first then surgery.  I'm actually overwhelmed.  Has anyone had this particular cancer that could make me understand what's going to happen.  I have also been advised to quit cigarettes.  I am honestly really scared

  • Hi Minnie, sorry to hear about your diagnosis, it is scary when you're first diagnosed. I was diagnosed with grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma in January and I'm also HER2 positive. I finished my chemo in July and am due to have a mastectomy with diep flap reconstruction in a couple of weeks. Feel free to ask any questions you have, take care. Xx
