Just been diagnosed with breast cancer at 25..

Hello all!

Tonight has been a surreal moment after finding a lump in left breast, and ultrasound identifying enlarged lymph nodes, it has sadly been confirmed that i have invasice ductal breast cancer - a tripple negative breast cancer in my case. I am 25 with no real family history, so it is all a bit shocking. 

i however had prepared myself fully for this news, and when they told me, i felt strangely calm and ok with this. i am sure i will have my wobbly moments but i know i will fight this.

I am going to have a CT scan and mammogram as it is in my lymph nodes, to check if the cancer has spread anywhere else (thats the scary part for me). But i will start chemo in jan, and have 6 rounds of it. Halfway through my chemo i will have a follow up, and decide what surgery i will be having/what will be neccssary. Then go from there.

I thought i would write on here, to hear from those experiencing similar things, and see how chemo was for you? and also to see if there is anyone my age on here going through the same thing?

 

thank you,

  • Hi Hannah

    So sorry to hear your news. It's a total shock at any age but to be so young...

    I am 41 and was diagnosed on Monday. I am having the same tests as you and feel terrified that they will say it has spread. I also have it in my lymph nodes. But I have been told that they act like sponges soaking up all the bad stuff. So we have got to be positive, although the waiting is excruciating.

    I feel that once I know that it hasn't spread I can move towards getting better. You sound so brave, much braver than me!

    Everyone is lovely on here and I'm sure lots of people with have tonnes more information than me. 

    Stay brave and I'm sending you lots of positive vibes and a cuddle too.

  • Hello

    i am 41 and also just diagnosed. My HER results came back positive and I start chemo after Xmas before surgery. I have CT scans later today and more ultra sounds. 

    I am so very scared.  I have only just found this forum and amazed at how many of us are going through the exact same thing at the same time. 

    Much love to all.

  • Hi chequers

    Sorry to hear your news. I am 41 also and was diagnosed on Monday. I've got more tests today and the consultant has asked to see me so I am terrified they've found something else. 

    Have they given you a stage? I'm stage 2 grade 3.
