Hi everyone!
Have never posted on a forum like this before so it’s all new to me. In the last 2 weeks I’ve been diagnosed with HER 2 positive grade 3 breast cancer. I’m only 29 so this has come as a huge shock. I have also had a totally different Cancer before - Hodgkins Lymphoma when I was 16 for which I received chemo so I have an idea of what’s coming next- doing know if that’s a good or bad thing!!
I just wondered if anyone with a similar cancer had decided to freeze their eggs before Chemo? I have my first appointment on Monday with the fertility specialist but they’ve said the process will take up to 3 weeks and I’m a bit worried about delaying the start of my chemo with HER 2 being more fast growing.
Hi, sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I noticed you'd not had a response yet, probably because the site is quite busy. You may not know, but there is a specific chat group for younger people with breast cancer and perhaps it's more likely someone there might have had the experience you're asking about. Here's the link for youBreast cancer for under 50s. Good luck
