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 still waiting to start treatment altho being told  ibc is very progressive.  Delay caused by referral for Muga scan  going astray between hospitals!!!   Appointment now booked for Monday, picc being fitted Tuesday and face to face meeting with Oncologist on Wed with a view to starting Chemo Friday.  Must admit I have chased and queried things if I havent had a response within a reasonable time.  It seemed to have worked.  Getting worried because experiencing pain in breast and armpit.
