Hello Everyone
6 weeks ago I was diagnosed with Her2 grade 3 breast cancer with lymph. I have had my first round of 3 EC. My second will be on the 17th. I am then scheduled for 4 rounds at 3 weekly intervals of the Docetaxel and Anti Her2. I am aware the AntiHer2 will continue after the chemo regime and was very happy to read that our hair returns 
I am a self employed Maternity Nurse(retired General nurse). It has taken a few weeks to absorb going fromm healthy and active to post chemo and having to clear my bookings for a year.
I am blessed with an incredibly supportive husband and family.
I know I will have questions especially when comes time for surgery. I hope I will also be able to bring something to the community.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community although I am sorry to see you joining us and to hear about your diagnoses. A cancer diagnosis can be such a stressful and challenging time but when it comes to support there is nothing better than talking with others who are on the exact same cancer and treatment journey.
The Community is divided into support groups (discussion rooms) so can I suggest that you consider joining our supportive Breast cancer group. This is a safe place to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green (Bold) link(s) I have created above. Once the group page opens click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go. You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
Macmillan have many support services so do check out the Macmillan Support Line open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00. These services provide cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear.
We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow a few working days for a reply.
Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing and aim to give support to all the family.
Do get back to me if you need further help.
All the very best.
