hi hamsey

i was diagnosed at christmas with her 2 positve er positive breast cancer 3.7cm grade2 found by hand

totally devastating ct scan clear started letrozole

My plan at the christie in mcr is 18 cycles of chemo had 5 already to shrink tumour and clear three lymph nodes

surgery 

radiotherapy 

adjuvant therapy being treated with herceptaini would contacr the breast care nurses at macmillian and breast care now but hers 2 is aggressive so id problem listen to the oncologist  how many mm is 4 and what did they say about your lymph nodes

Hi Ruth,

Felt lump in November and went for scan 3 weeks ago, also had biopsy. Then had Consultants meeting, then another biopsy as saw what might be calcification. Then oncologists talked through chemo and picc line and chemo cycle, that was the overwhelming part.

Have another meeting with consultant meeting today, which I assume decisions to be made and last biopsy results will be discussed. 

So much info to take in, that usure what you mean by grade. 

I know its her 2 and 4 inchs. 

Thanksx
