Hi Tink_ 

I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.

Hey lovely, you’re definitely not alone in this! So many mums find themselves navigating unexpected circumstances in their baby’s first year, and it’s completely understandable to worry about how it might affect them. But babies are incredibly resilient, and the love and care you’re giving will always shine through. 

If you ever need to vent, share a little win, or just chat with others who get it, I hope you find comfort in knowing there’s a whole community out here for you. You’re doing an amazing job, even on the hardest days! Sending strength and hope your way. 

Hi

Hi Tink,

sorry to hear you are going through the nightmare also! 
My mum saw your post and told me about your situation so I couldn’t not post to hopefully give you some hope! 
I am 34 now but was diagnosed at 32 with breast cancer and had an intense treatment regime for around 12months with a 10week old baby and a 4 year old. I can happily say that I am a year clear and loving life again. Life probably feels like it is falling apart at the moment but I promise you once you start treatment things will not seem quite as scary. Happy to answer any questions you may have, I’m not a professional but can certainly help from my own experiences. 
I never thought I would feel like me again, and I love the new me and a I love life even more now, you too will feel like this in the near future. Sending you lots of hugs and hope. x

Hi I had my second baby and at 5months I ignored the lump just thought it was a cyst due to bf at 8months after a biopsy and and a core biopsy I was told I had stage3 cancer spread to the lymph nodes, It was surgery first then a second surgery, when baby turned1 on her birthday I went for a ct scan after my daughters 9th bday party. I started my 8 chemotherapy and then 19 radiotherapy Iv had my ovaries and tubes taken out as I couldn’t tolerate the 3 zoladex treatment Iv just had a double mastectomy with now arthritis on my spine on my back and other conditions. I’m also on my 5th cycle of abemacalib and I take Letrozole and also having my second zometa every 6 months. Baby is 2 now or shall I say toddler and my daughter is 10. Treatment is ongoing and it hasn’t stopped. im 37 im not going to lie im so tired and exhausted and side effects are horrible but we have to keep fighting especially when we have a little family. We’re doing it for them and that’s what I keep telling myself each day. 

you got this ️
