Hi,
I haven’t been on any of these sites yet but felt the need today for a bit of reassurance.
I’m was 46 years old and was about to go on the holiday of a lifetime to Malaysia (after a tough year with other family medical issues), when I found a lump in my breast.
That was 8 weeks ago and since then I’ve had a mastectomy, full lymph node removal and am due to start chemo in January (then radiotherapy).
I’ve had moments of crying previously but since going to Christie’s for a consultation, I can’t stop crying. Maybe it’s the reality of it all again and although the nurses were lovely, it was quite matter of fact which I understand. I’m stage 3 ER/PR pos grade 2.
Is it normal as each stage approaches to be so upset? I have been ok the last couple of weeks although I had a few complications after the operation.
Thanks
