Hi, 

Diagnosed this afternoon with ER+ HER+, it's a 45mm mass in my right breast only - nothing in the lymph nodes.

I'm 45 so the surgeon has recommended 6 months of chemotherapy to reduce the size before a less invasive lumpectomy. There's hormone treatment and radiation to follow too all coming to about a years worth of treatment.

I feel quite calm and positive, and have told my parents, just my son to tell but I'm waiting until after half-term.

The team at the clinic gave me loads of info to take away and were very organised and thorough. I weirdly felt calmer once I'd got the diagnosis and more importantly the plan.

I hope this helps anyone in a similar situation.
