Hello everyone I was diagnosed with grade one breast cancer in Jan this year .I've been looking for somewhere to speak to others that have been through the same as me over the last year or so.
You've found the right place. Eve tone is on different stages of their journey. If you click on posters name it gives you their profile (hint, hint, fill in your profile).
You can join any conversation by just clicking reply on last post. You not really replying but that person it's just how threads work. The AWAKE thread been running years. Just reply last post to say hi. It's just a safe space to say hello. Posters awaiting or just diagnosed take comfort from posters who have come out the other side of their treatment so will appreciate your input.
Hi Nannycakes,
After a mammogram and biopsy in December 2020, I was diagnosed on 29th December and started chemo in January this year. I had lumpectomy in July, radiotherapy in October, started Letrozole and have a bone density scan next week. So all in all the process has taken all of this year. I must say I've had better years (!) but I'm nearly out the other side, although I sometimes struggle to accept the enormity of it all and it feels like it happened to someone else.
