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!..XxxHeart

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, a Community that no one ever really plans to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

    A cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot and I see you have joined our Breast cancer group and have received some great posts, this is indeed the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as a patient or family.

    Its always good to talk and the Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information, support or just a listing ear.

    The service is open every day 8am to 8pm and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00 have a look by Clicking here for more information.

    You can also email them, use the online chat and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    Our Online Information and Support Section  is a good place to find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.

    All the very best.
