  • Hi sorry to read that you've found yourself in the club none of us want to be in. 

    I got diagnosed in March had surgery in April. Luckily the lump was removed and it hadn't spread.   Due to the type I have triple negative I'm having currently having chemo then radiotherapy. 

    Happy to chat with anyone and answer any questions.

    Best wishes

  • I'm petrified at the thought of chemo , not helped as I worked at Marie curie anyway and saw so much but it's still worrying me I'm off to see ongolisgist next Wednesday to ask questions

    Thanks 

  • Hi Wendy

    Thats totally understandable as you will of seen people at their worse but remember everyone reacts differently to it. 

    Hope all goes well with your meeting.

  • Thank you Louise

     

    Its just all been such a shock to be honest

    but I know I must be strong but I want to weigh up all

    my options first before I make any decisions but they want me to have 6 chemos before I have lumps removed is anyone else having the treatment this way round ?

    so thats chemo every three weeks to shrink the lumps x 2 then the op then radiotherapy x 5 sessions and the drugs for 18 months but , I'm going to ring them today as everyone is saying get the lumps out first 

    Thanks xx

     

  • I think some consultants do some chemo 1st and others surgery. When I first had my biopsy results I was told it was hormone negative so had surgery then from thst biopsy it was triple negative so 2 different lots of chemo then radiotherapy.
