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,

    Reaching out as I've found it really hard to find other 25 year olds with this diagnosis, this is the same as mine, triple negative, stage 2. Though I do have family history of the BRCA gene which I am being tested for, I pray I don't have it!

    You posted this in Dec so I guess you're a way along! I had my first chemo treatment today which went OK! No side affects apart from fatigue now. Feel just like I would when hung over really.

    Where are you from? I live in Bristol my insta account is holysseusfly, give me a follow and send me a message! Would be nice to link up.

    I first found my lump early Dec! So were on similar time scales.

    Hi ladies, 

    I am also 25, found a lump on my left breast last week and have an appointment after my 2ww referral this Thursday at the breast clinic in Basingstoke (Hampshire). I am very nervous but whatever happens I know I will get the right care and support I need 

     

    hope you are all well, 

    love and hugs, keely xx

    Hi ladies,

     

    sorry to those that I did not reply to I don't get the chance to go on here often how are we all doing? I am almost a year clear of cancer but awaiting a routine ct scan results. Hoping they're all ok the anxiety is and will always be there I think!

    Hi ,

     

    Even i am 25 years old and found a lump in my left breast but no other symptoms and really scared to even go see a doctor. Do you have any other symptoms apart from the lump. I just wanted to know that if the lump is the first sign for it or do we get other signs as well. 

     

    Hopefully your results are positive.

     

    Take care.
