Hi I got my results - grade 3 invasive + DCIS=20 ER POSITIVE, HER negative. Am now waiting for my oncotype DX results which I get on 24th Feb. Every day is like groundhog day I can't stop worrying and trying to prepare for chemotherapy mentally if my score is high

Hi Sally, how are things with you? 

Hi Sam 

There are a lot of unknowns at the moment and of course you will be worried and sad so allow yourself these feelings.   I just wanted to share with you I received my diagnosis just before Christmas and was living far away from home due to work commitments and can remember how frightened I felt waiting for my results.   

Ive just found this site and feel better for talking about my feelings and being in touch with supportive people who have shared there experience.   

My thoughts are with you and please keep in touch.

Hi Lauren, my results are Grade 3 invasive breast cancer, DCIS -20 ER positive, HER negative. Am now waiting for results from Oncotype DX test which I get on 24th Feb then that will determine if I have chemo or just radiotherapy and tamoxifine

Believe me, having a good cry is the best thing for you, rather than bottling it up ........ things will get better for you, it's all new at the moment........ chatting to people who have experienced cancer is a real comfort.......I didn't have that until now (my treatment finished a year ago and I have no active cancer!  I did have Stage 4 cancer originally......there's hope for everyone!). Stay positive, I'm sure that really helped me anyway.  Good luck    Ivana xxx

Hi. I am sorry to hear your news. I no how you feel. You feel your life is over and yesterday you were so happy. I was diagnosed with small bowel cancer , and crohnes disease 4years ago. It was stage 3 to be accurate T3 N3. I had surgery to remove a 3-4centimetre tumor, followed by adjuvient treatment chemo. I've attended hospital for the last four years having blood cra levels and liver function taken, snd sect scan every year. So far I am in remission. So the moral of my story is this.  I thought I was going to die these were my initial thoughts when I heard the word cancer. Then I was told there was a high risk of the urrance because it was a nasty cancer. 4 years on I am still here. You will gradually get strong again because you want to live. I retired there and then. And made a decision to look after my three granddaughters who are under 5 lol. Give yoursel time to adjust to what's happened. Cry if you feel like crying. The only people who no how you feel, are people who have been diagnosed with cancer. Your life will be the same however, your mind will need to adjust. Ask as many questions as you can . Find out what stage it is. What the best treatment is. Also ask is the treatment they are giving looking to cure. Good luck. And if you wand to. Chat I can give you my e mail.
