Hello 

ok so I would love to hear from anyone with similar journey to me 

ER+ 8/8 HER2- Grade 3 with a greater than 30mm tumor I belive Stage IIA (nodes not considered involved)  prior to wide excision node biopsy with theraputic mamoplasty

I have a very large under arm to centre of my breast zigzag scar

I am 1.5 weeks post op and now driving myself nuts trying to preempt whats next. 

Already started on Letrzole as I am postmenopause following a total hysterectomy and bilat oophingectomy 4 years ago 

my mamo two years ago was clear and when I found the lump I was genuinely expecting to be told it was a cyst.  my breast nurse is amazing but my consultant forgets I am a midwife and not one of his students sometimes. In a very short space of time I have gone from normal to surgery and full blown menopause which on occassion it a bit overwhelming.

I am not a dramtic person however I am struggling with menopause after stopping HRT and starting Letrozole.  I am expecting to be told radiotherapy but due to the size and grade of the tumour am thinking chemo may also be on the cards.  I would just like to get my head semi perpared for the next MDT meeting as emotionally I am very up and down, especially as I feel I am letting my colleague at work down  because most of the time I feel like a fraud.

Thank you in advance 

Jules
