Good evening all

November 2019, I was diagnosed with her2 positive breast cancer.  I had 2 tumours in my breast and a 2cm tumour in a lymph node in my armpit. There were cells in a couple of others as well.  After chemo, surgery,  radiotherapy then a year of herceptin,  I started to rebuild my life as a newly single woman as my then husband left.

This post is for everyone struggling right now, to give you hope. I was petrified,  lost all control as I was so scared.

Anyway,  I've just had another clear mammogram.  So happy.  Just so you know, it's tough but there's good news out there! Keep going and things will get better, 

Love julie x

  • Thank you so much  it's an awful thing to go thru and I really do feel for anyone going thru it. I was so scared. The diagnosis was a massive shock and grade 3 stage 3 , awful, but I'm still here xxx

  • What an uplifting post! I’m just sitting here beside myself waiting for a CT scan this evening and as you all well know that in itself is a traumatic experience. I was diagnosed in October last year, had surgery and radiotherapy and on Tamoxifen. CT scan is checking for potential spread and I feel like I’m right back where I started. And until those results come, it will be a difficult few weeks. It is lovely to hear positive stories like yours. Best wishes.

    It's a terrible thing to go thru,  I had ct scan as soon as they knew it was enroute.  Had 2 full body CTs. Keep posting,  let us know how you are
