Just had a diagnosis of HERT2 grade 3 breast cancer today in my left breast. To say I felt like I had been hit by a truck is an understatement. I am being referred gor an MRI then wait to see what the plan is....
A bit scared as the word aggressive has been used a few times. I understand that what I have is treatable but has anyone gone through the process with this diagnosis? I appreciate everyone's story is different but would like to arm myself with as much info as possible to deal with this
It's going to be a long journey, but positivity will prevail. Xx
Hi folks and welcome to the community.
The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend that you look to join and put up your own post in our dedicated Breast Cancer Support Group.
This group is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support. To connect in with the group please click on the link below…….
……. and once the group page opens you will see a [Black - Click to Join - Banner] at the bottom of the page, click in this box and this will then confirm that you have joined the group.
You can then introduce yourself to the group by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [+] in the top right of the group page.
You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
The Macmillan Support Line is open between 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00…… this service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial/work guidance or just a listening ear.
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.
