I'm 41, I found out in March 2021 that I had a pre cancer after finding a lump, after removal it was discovered that a 3.8mm piece was invasive, another op followed to take a clear margin. A few months later after radiotherapy I was told I was cancer free. In November my scar lumpy tissue became very hard and sore, inflamed. After biopsy's I was told on 22nd dec that I have grade 3 triple negative breast cancer and will need chemo and mastectomy. I already have appointments for MRI and oncology next week, its moving very fast but I guess that's positive. As much as I don't want it I know I have to. I'm dreading the hair loss, not sure how I will cope with that at all
Key - hope your antibiotics is doing its job and you're resting. Kids are intuitive and manage somehow to let u have the rest u need.
Flower - good u have support fr parents. I am feeling a bit sorry for myself as aching all over. My partner has been great to help at home and I am more assured he is here in case I need attention. Wonder how long will I ache for....
