Hi everyone 

my mum has been recently diagnosed with breast cancer last week she had a lumpectomy and removel of 25 lymph nodes. She went to see the consultant today and was told cancer was present in 6 of the 25 lymph nodes. She has to start chemo in 4 weeks followed by a year of herceptin treatment. They keep telling us that it's still early stage however I think it's more advanced, how can early stage be in 6 lymph nodes? She also has to have a full body ct to check it hasn't gone anywhere else. I'm absolutely heartbroken that my mum is having to go through this and I am having a hard time coming to terms with it, I guess I'm looking for some reassurance that everything is going to be ok
