Hi I've recently been diagnosed with grade 3 invasive ductal breast cancer HER 2 positive and have just started my first round of chemo just wondering has anybody else been diagnosed with this form of breast cancer??
Hi If you have a read of my profile (just click collect n my name) you'll fat my story .
welcome to the site that nobody really wants to be on but are so grateful to find .
Its the right place to be for answers / support also to have a good rant / cry or even laugh . Stay away from Dr google he's out of date and likes to tell horror stories . We are here to let you know it can be done the treatment for breast cancer has moved so far forward .
At the moment you've landed on a roller coaster ,from you're profile I'm sure you recognise the ride .
Hopefully you feel slightly better now you've started you're treatment.
Have a good browse around the threads there are some interesting ones ..we don't just concentrate on cancer there's a walking thread and one called Awake which if you up thru the night there's usually someone on to chat to .If not its full of stuff to read and have a laugh at cartoons etc . Also a wealth of experience on Awake we hang around to share our knowledge as well as hopefully answer some concerns .
Im sure there is a thread for your age group where common issues are discussed e.g. Childcare etc .
Main message from me is I'm still here after masectomy in July 2019 then diagnosis of HER2positive
