Grade 3 aggressive breast cancer-anyone else had this?

TRU64
Offline

Has been a whirlwind since I found a hard lump. This was 2.5cm on ultrasound. 1st results of biopsy confirmed an aggressive grade 3 cancer. Urgent CT scan in morning to check if its spread. Awaiting receptor results. Am facing chemo, surgery, radiotherapy and hormone therapy if receptors indicate this. 

This is all very scary. Has anyone else had this diagnosis?

    Hi TRU64 .  I was diagnosed with stage 3, grade 2 lobular breast cancer.  I was ER, PR+ and HER2 - .  I had surgery (lump was 4cm).  Had chemo and radiotherapy.  It is very scary and waiting for results is very stressful.  Macmillan has a forum for breast cancer and lots of supportive people in the same situation so they all know what it feels like.  When are you getting your receptor results back?  I am happy to chat anytime.

    Hi Lee thank you for reaching out to me. Is very scary. I get my receptors results hopefully friday next week. And my scan results will be back by then as well as they've put them through as urgent. Its knowing what all the receptor stuff means. Ive tried to get my head round it. As treatment seems a little different. And they told me I might need chemo 1st. Its facing the unknown that only those who have sadly faced this, know what it feels like. Mind bending scary! I know mine is a grade 3 aggressive but not sure on what stage yet. 

    Hope you're doing well after your treatment xx
