Grade 3 Breast Cancer

Hi.

So 10 days ago I wrote a post to say I’d had a biopsy and breast markers, and was waiting for results. My worst fears came true and I’ve been diagnosed with grade 3 Invasive ductal carcinoma.

Im in shock, petrified and feel like im watching someone else’s life at the moment. Im 49, celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary in 4 days and have 17 year old twins. 

Ive had to go for an mri yesterday and having another biopsy next week to determine whether i have chemo before they operate or operate first. 
It just feels completely surreal. 

I’ve been reading my consultants notes and it says I have KI 67 80-85% HR2 negative. If anyone has any experience of anything similar to what I’ve written I’d love to hear from you.

In just a few days my life has turned upside down x
