I've come to this blog writing a little late really , I was diagnosed August 21st with ER+/HER2+ breast cancer , my husband exactly one month later with early prostate cancer (hopefully, just awaiting MRI scan results for follow up to Gleason score of 6)
As a quick recap , I was initially diagnosed with Stage1 which became stage 2 after the lumpectomy , mis-diagnosed as HER2- due to a typing error , and these wrong notes sat in my file for 3 weeks until I queried my treatment plan .... I had a lumpectomy early September , followed by two chest cavity shaved which uncovered DCIS cells - still no clear margins so now need a mastectomy after my 12 weeks of chemo ... have now had three sessions of chemo and so far okay , hair is just starting to come out - have picked up my wig today and am sat in it as we speak ! Very much a game is snakes and ladders, more snakes than ladders for the most part but am very positive and determined to do all in my power to be still here for many years to come
