Diagnosed today- Breast cancer

Hello lovely people

well I'm at the start of my journey- just recieved the news- DCIS grade 2 33mm, lymph nodes appear normal. Awaiting HER2 results next week- Surgeon says he aims to do surgery before Christmas but depending on HER2 result considering chemo before surgery...
im 51 and dazed but kind of ok. Nothing can ever truly prepare for sitting in that room hearing the words- but the 2 weeks wait from the biopsy was the worse. 
im here to meet other fellow busom buddies for moral support, but also to support others!..Xxx ️

  • Hi there ...

    And welcome to our little safe place where we can say how we really feel ... and know others here know exactly how it feels ... I came on here like you in 2017 at the start of my journey .. I had a grade 3 her 2 negative oestrogen positive lump.... and a masectomy in July that year ..

    I was scared of the unknown and came here and found an angel called @Jolomine... who took me under her wing and made me feel a lot stronger ... I also started chatting to another new 5/6 breast lasses on here .. all different stages and treatments... one started a thread called the good and bad ... where others joined in along the way to ...

    Well most of them have gone back to their life post cancer.... and couple of us stayed to help those just starting out ... one had a baby after her treatment .... so take heart ... we only seem to here the sad stories on the t.v... 

    Well my advice would be, to go with your feelings ... let it out ... yell cuss whatever you need .. then get a pair of vertual boxing gloves... pink ones .. and put them on and get in the ring with the rest of us .. wer all there ... cancer wants us to lay down and never get up... give in ... but wer all trying to kick it's butt .. 

    It's not about winning or losing this journey... it's about standing up and punching back ... 

    So any questions , I'm sure we can help ... so sending a vertual hug right back at ya ... you can do this .. Chrissie xx
