Hi diagnosed with triple neg grade 2 docs say by time have my surgery could be grade 3 also 90% chance of chemo everywhere I read it says chemo for triple neg confused ♂️
This is such a worrying time isn't it. You will be in overdrive right now...I am her2 pos...and currently going through chemo...there are lots of us breast ladies going through it and I'm sure they will pop along soon .
You can and will get through this...after the panic and when the treatment plan is in place you will just get through it...what surgery you having ?
i have a very good friend with triple neg she is also having chemo ( she's a week ahead of me) and she is doing so well! Even going into work!
So, try and stay off google, and take it a step at a time love....you'll be ok...xxxxx
getting lumpectomy plus reduction same time just the uncertainty of if I’m getting chemo wish I knew one way or another 90% quite high they have also put in for my voucher for wig. I’m thinking chemo probably op on 12th
If I were you I would be banking on chemo, then if it's a no it's a lovely surprise.....I was told no chemo all along....I was happily skipping through life thinking" well, I swerved that one" and one day just as I had finished doing my roots my cancer nurse rang out of the blue to say I needed chemotherapy....all I thought was...but I've just done my roots!!!!
Chemo isn't Taken lightly, I think once you have had a good chat with your oncologist you will feel more settled....they are very keen to keep you well during it, your meds can be adjusted accordingly...like mine was and this second session isn't half as bad as my first. I was all for chucking the towel in, until the onco said he can wiggle things around...and thank god he did!
On the wig side, I have a lovely one! They are amazing these days....xxxxx
I am sorry to hear about your breast cancer and your chemo worries. The surgeon may not be sure what he is doing until he gets your pathology results back after your surgery, so there's no point in worrying yourself about it until your care team know what they're going to recommend.
Marlyn's advice is good. If you can convince yourself that you are going to have chemo just now, it will be a bonus if you don't need it.
I wish you well for your op on 12th.
Please don't forget to let us know how it goes. We are always here for you.
I was terrified when I was going in too. Just think, you are that much closer to putting your surgery behind you. It is all very 'doable' and, you'll be home with your boys again before you know it. What ages are they?
Sorry to hear that you are waiting too. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 10 years. First time I had a lumpectomy followed by Tamoxifen. Second bout was a year later. This time I had a double mastectomy followed by Letrozole for 6 years. I stopped taking these in July 2017 and had no radiotherapy or chemo.
Its such a horrible waiting game !! almost feels back to normal again then sure be faced with other emotions soon enough. just want to know for planing with self employed business etc. sorry to hear your returned this is my fear but trying to put it to the side and focus on what can do now. liking like lumpectomy and like let radiation and chemo because of age and type. also waiting on gene test but very likely negative
Yes the waiting is torture. Believe it or not, irrespective of the outcome, you will feel better, knowing that you have started to fight it. I am self-employed too and found it hard when I got back to work mainly because I was so exhausted. I am quite a bit older than you, so I don't know whether or not this had anything to do with it.
With every cancer diagnosis, there is always the fear of recurrence. Once it's happened once, you always know that this is a probability. If we let it, it could consume us completely. Instead, I try to focus on how lucky I am to still be here 10 years on.
