Just been diagnosed with breast cancer age 29

Hi,  just got my news yesterday afternoon, that I have breast cancer, grade 2, 3cm lump which is visible, it’s growing at a fast rate, they don’t think it’s in my lymph nodes, got to go back to hospital Saturday for treatment plan, I’ve got to have 6 months of chemotherapy first, starting that within 1-2weeks, then surgery to remove it, then radiotherapy after, I’m so so scared, I also have three children, Its very hard to take all this in, this has come about within a week, went to the doctors on Boxing Day, then referred to hospital, to be seen the day after, to have triple assessment, at first they thought it was a cyst, to realise it wasnt

    I'm due to start chemo on 22nd Feb, I'm kind of nervous about it all (especially the side effects) but I'm glad I have a date now so I can focus on getting myself ready for it. 

    I know it will be extremely difficult but fingers crossed it will work as it needs to and I'll be finished by early June.

    The Her2 positive result still scares me but I've heard it responds well to treatment so just hoping and praying we've caught it early enough and that it hasn't spread yet.
