Hi, I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017 when I was 36. It started with a small lump in my breast and I underwent surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation. I was then fortunate to be clear for two years after which I had a relapse and the cancer was back in the same breast and lymph nodes. I was then given the sandwich regime where I started with chemo to shrink the mass and then double mastectomy with lymph node removal and then back to completion of chemo and radiation. I completed my treatment in 2021 and now two years later once again after my PET scans there has been some irregularity reported in my liver, lungs and bones. While the doctors are pretty it is fairly recent as I had an MRI which came clear just 3 months back, it is still a terrible situation to be diagnosed for the third time. I am HER2 +++ both previous times and this time a sample has just been taken from my liver and we are awaiting biopsy results.
I am a mother to two beautiful girls who keep me going and have given my the inspiration to fight. Looking for support and a forum through this journey.
Hi G23
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you are facing cancer for the third time. I know how you feel as I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time but in my right breast this time, last time I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my left breast.
Wishing you the best of luck with your biopsy results and with whatever treatment your medical team puts you on.
Best wishes
