love L xx
Thankyou. I was diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer last week after a week of waiting but knowing, and at the same time hoping, that it would not be the news I dreaded. And now I have to get on with the treatment plan but even waiting for that is interminable and all the time I am terrified that this is spreading as I wait. But the treatment effects also frighten me. There seems to be nothing to take any consolation from at the moment.
The waiting is really hard , you want to have a plan but at the same time you’re hoping to wake up and this all have been a bad dream
Do you know the type of cancer and roughly what your plan may be ?

Hello Mary Anne, I was diagnosed with grade 3 Oestrogen+ Her2 neg, I've had my lumpectomy in October and started chemo on the 23rd of December, had my last one last Thursday . Waiting now for Radiotherapy, seeing oncologist next Monday. It is a roller coaster, waiting on results and appointments is horrible. Not all grade 3 end up with chemo, you might get away with just surgery and radiotherapy. Just take one appointment at a time, I found diagnosis changed a bit along the way. You'll be ok, with good support around you..xx
I have been told the plan following the mdt but need to wait for the oncology appointment.
you are quite right - I do keep hoping I will
wake up to find it’s all been a nightmare!
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
