Hi all - I was diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer last month. Everyrhing has moved pretty quick since being diagnosed - iv hsd round 1 of 6 chemo cycles and plan is to have surgery and then radiotherapy after.

I feel so grateful for finding this lump and how fast things have moved for me but i can't shake of the fear at all. Im soooo scared Disappointed

Im a young mum and im trying so hard to be strong for my kids. 

  • Hi Capricorn, my heart goes out to you I know how you are feeling it’s such a terrible thing to go through especially being young with children, I am a lot older than you I had breast cancer in 2017 and my daughter who was 48 at the time in 2016 but we both got through it we didn’t have chemo ,IIremember the first night I found out I had it I just went into a frozen mode my body was completely ridgit I was terrified but the research now is better than it’s ever been . You will get through this you will be scared but with the love of your family and this forum you will be ok. Good luck come on here if your worried about anything it’s a marvelous forum they are here to help.

    Thank you Boobylou - I know research and treatment is so much more now. Iv tried to be so strong and im keeping a positive mind. I just can't shake away this fear. Feel like there is a massive cloud over me. 

    How did you find getting through chemo? I have never felt this tired in my life. Im struggling not being able to do much and just be in bed. 

  • Hi. You will be scared we all were but you will get through it, I didn’t have chemo had lumpectomy and 1 lymph node was involved, my lump was 44mm so quite big it was a nightmare but now nearly 3 years on I don’t even worry about it anymore just have mammograms every year, try not to stay in bed that’s no good at all. Take care

  • Hello

    I too have grade 3 her2 positive breast cancer and was diagnosed last month. I'm starting treatment soon. Its terrible and I completely understand how you feel. I was terrified and wanted to die but then didnt want to die! The emotions are so strong. 

    I've been so well looked after so far. Keep strong. I'm getting a bit stronger now but still have dark moments. Keep messaging.
