Hi 

Sorry to hear your diagnosis.I am having follow up treatment for breast cancer following mastectomy,chemo and radiotherapy , all of which has been manageable.My lump was 55mm .This is the most scariest time waiting for results ,once you have a treatment plan hopefully you will feel less scared.xx

It's definitely most scariest and worry of it spreading. Did yours spread and are you doing ok 

Hi there

i was stage 2 IDC in 2019 and have had surgery and treatment. Take heart, you will get through it. There's plenty of support on here to help!

wishing you all the best

Thank you so much I'm worried bout the grade that I haven't caught it in time 

I know the worser the grade the higher chance it's spread 

Hi Trac, I'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I'm in the same situation. 35mm Grade 3 IDC Her2+. Waiting for MRI and more biopsies to see where it's got to. It pulls the rug from under your feet, doesn't it? Have you been given a treatment plan yet? I got mine at my diagnosis appointment. Chemo and Herceptin, then lumpectomy. My fear too that it's spreading out of control and nothing is being done yet. But I'm trying to take comfort and assurance that they've told me a few more weeks won't make any difference, that they are looking at everything closely, and that they are doing their very best for me. Each day brings a bit more acceptance and less anxiety, but I still have days where I feel floored and despondent. It's going to be a rough ride for us both, but I'm so pleased to hear you have a supportive husband. Me too! Everyone here is fantastic support too and we're all standing beside you. Do reach out when you need a little boost. Saying a prayer for you now. Hugs, Amy xx

Hello Amy 

I don't have my plan yet I go back the 2nd September. I'm not sure if I'm herz + yet either. I am really scared and hoping I have caught it in time. It's already in my lymph nodes so it's making me worry that bit more. It's nice to know I'm not alone although wouldn't wish this on anybody. They have said the same they are looking into everything To give me the correct treatment. Hope you're ok and wish you all the best for your treatment. Xx

Hi

I'm so sorry you're going through this. My story is similar to yours. I was diagnosed with Grade 3 Triple Negative, lymph node positive Breast Cancer in May, which totally floored me. My tumour was 2.6mm. I had so many scans to see if the cancer had spread. After one of the scans they said I have a 'spot' on my spine so I was convinced it had gone further but as the results were indeterminate they couldn't tell me for certain. I started my chemo which was 12 sessions of weekly Paclitaxel my final session of that particular chemo is this week. I had 2 further scans last week and I saw my Consultant yesterday, the spot on my spine hasn't changed, which is a good sign. Following this session of chemo I am having a further 4 sessions of EC to completely kills off the cancer cells, then surgery. It seems like the chemo has done it's job as I can barely feel the lump now. So I am feeling very positive at the moment. Chemo is not the most pleasant but it's very tolerable. I had no side effects at all on the Paclitaxel and I used the scalp cooler to prevent hair loss which has worked. I've managed to keep almost all of my hair.

It is a scary time, I too am married with a 17 year old and a 14 year old. My Husband and children have been absolutely brilliant. You will get over the initial shock and you'll find strength you never knew you had. Once your treatment plan is in place you'll feel much better about things. Your medical team are there to help and give you the best treatment for you.

Hope everything goes well for you.

Take care.

I'm so glad you are doing well. I wish you all the best for your surgery and a fast recovery. I find the waiting for results the hardest I feel a little stronger today but have back and shoulder pain I'm hoping it's all the stress and not because it's spread. I haven't been eating well or sleeping much it really has knocked me right off my feet. I thought I had it when I found the lump but to actually be told you have it is still a shock, I have calcification in my breast too which has to be tested for cancer also. 
 

wishing you all the best
