Hi all I've recently been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. Her2 positive. Before treatment I have to have multiple tests ie mri as I have a hump on my back which is full of dense tissue. My consultant fears it may be hiding more cancerous cells fingers crossed. The results show its normal. My main question to you all could you give me some advise or your opinions.
As I'm only 36 I have been referred to the life center to begin the process of having my eggs frozen (its always been my dream to become a mother). But due to my weight they have said I need to be passed to the rvi as the procedure would need heavier sedation, but they have a lengthy weight list of up to 3 weeks for the first appointment. I am so confused about what to do (bear in mind I was only diagnosed 2 weeks ago officially) everything seems so rushed.
My mum and sisters are trying to help with their view on what to do I'm just scared I will let them down if I make the wrong decision my heart says freeze my eggs for later use. But my mind goes to the worst places . Any alive or opinions are welcome.
Thank you all for reading
Hi Babyface and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join both the breast cancer and the breast cancer for under-50s groups as you'll then connect directly with others who may have had to make the same decision as you after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
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'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
