Hi, I’ve been fighting this for a good few years, but I found a new lump, I was diagnosed with a unrelated triple A negative NEW cancer so I’m fighting not one but two breast cancers. 

I had my Picc fitted today, see the consultant in 7 days to confirm which treatments I will get. 

I can’t believe this is happening, I’m scared, feel very shocked, I’m not sure how things will work out. 

I hope to talk with someone in the same position, but also want to help you guys, I’ve had so many different treatments over the years I hope I can help reassure you. 

I’m new to talking online- hope it will be a good experience. 

  • Hi whatagain, sorry to hear you found a new lump, different cancer.  I check monthly now, found one lump already but that was breast tissue thankfully.  Hopefully you get a plan next week, this is a great forum for support.  Some recent posts have suggested very rapid treatment from diagnosis x

  • Hi, thank you so much for a quick response, I found the new lump on 16/10/22 I just want to start treatment, I just feel it’s eating me and want it to stop. 
    Sorry to sound melodramatic but it’s just how I feel at the moment. 

  • Hello Whatagain,

    Sorry that it's happening again, they got rid of it once, can do so again. My journey is just starting results next Fri. Its hard to put yourself through all that again. I know some who have had it twice and beat it. We have to be brave sometime, my son has suffered plenty with his medical problems. I have to do it for him. He is Autistic as well. Hope and prayers for all. Purple heartPrayPurple heart

  • Hiya 

    Welcome but I’m so sorry you’re here with a different  cancer type this time , you can do it again lovely  . You must be so shocked Disappointed 

    were you ER positive last time ? I’ve had 6 months of chemo , mastectomy and due to start radiotherapy next week . I started taking tamoxifen a few weeks ago too . My anxiety is a real issue ! 
    Hopefully you’ll find lots of support here

  • I don’t blame you, I was floored when I found my second lump.  When you meet to discuss treatment, ask for dates when treatment will start.  They should be able to give you an idea x

  • Awwwww you’re going through it, good luck for Friday. Fingers crossed x

  • I will, when I had the Picc inserted today she thought I was starting treatment next week but that when I see the consultant. Take care x

  • Hi Dollydimple, yes my first cancer was HR positive, radiotherapy is easy compared to chemotherapy so you will be fine. 
    sending hugs
