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,

  • So sorry to hear that news. Can't imagine how you must be feeling. I have an appointment at the breast clinic next week after finding a lump in my left breast which is now starting to give me pain now and again. My anxiety is just crazy at the moment, and a mother of 2 children it's hard not to worry about these things. I'm 25 and no family history of breast cancer so I'm hoping it's a non cancerous lump. After going to the clinic and having your lump examined, how long after did you get your results back? Keep on fighting love, you got this xx
