Hi everyone and thank you for letting me join this group.
I was diagnosed around 5 weeks ago with stage one/grade 2 bc .
HER2- /ER8 PR8? Think that’s right All seemed optimistic until MRI showed further areas of concern and has biopsies last week.
So now I’m waiting again for results and op cancelled until results are back.
I’m scared, emotional etc and just wondered if anyone has had similar experience?
thank you in advance ️

I’ve had a few rough years due to anxiety so that doesn’t help but trying to stay positive.
