Primary grade 2 invasive ductal cancer

Hi there had a random mammogram letter sent in November.  Had it done at a carevan in a caroark ! Week later had phone to arrange a appointment to attend the hospital the following week for scan another mammogram and biopsy.  They confirmed a lump there and was told they would have to do surgery to remove it but had to wait for a appointment with a surgon.  Waited meet her 2 weeks later yes breast cancer.  Opperation booked for 3rd January 2020 had it done  10 days afyer results said going back as they had to re do the edge of the cells something like that asked at the beginning of all this if i would need chemo ..told by nurse no just radiotherapy... shocked when on the results in February of second opp that my surgon said ive booked a chemo appointment  for next week at oncolgy hospital for meeting with doctor.  Had that had picc line put in chemo next day . Had 2 since 19th of march 4 more to go hercption injections start soon then after all that radiotherapy..im her2 positive... omg big shock ...sorry for ranting just feeling lost.x

  • I'm on a similar journey to you. Masectomy followed by 6 rounds of chemo, then radiotherapy then medication. I had Grade 2 IDC, cancerous cells in 2 lymph nodes. HER2neg. Finding the chemo hard, ended up in hospital on my 3rd session with Mouth ulcers and Neutropenia. Dreading my 4th one this Tuesday.

    But this is the best treatment that the doctors can give us to prevent the cancer returning, so I'm trying to look to the future when all this treatment is over. Corona virus the middle of it all makes it so much more stressful. I have to go to the hospital for my pre chemo blood test as the nurse at my GP's is self isolating and they don't have the staff.

    You're not alone. Always good to have a rant on here!

    Best wishes
