breast cancer grade 3

Hello,

So sorry to hear that you and your wife find yourselves in this position. It is such a shock and a scary time bring diagnosed and trying to get your hear around it all. I received the Her2 information at the same time as the other information from the biopsy, and I was her2 positive and I believe this was a factor in why I had chemotherapy first.  That and the size of the tumour meaning it was better to shrink with chenotherapy. Once they have all the information I am sure they will come up with the best plan to treat your wife's breast cancer. It is difficult at this point with so much information to digest and with all the waiting around for results of biopsies and scans before finding out what will be happening with treatment.  Look after yourselves and keep yourselves busy if you can, and trust your wife's team will do the best thing for her.  In terms of the reconstruction they may be saying they can't guarantee it will be done at the same time as the breast surgery to treat the cancer.  As that is the priority they do that with urgency and then reconstruction commonly comes much later down the line.  I think this is especially the case if there is going to be radiotherapy as this can damage the reconstruction. 

Hi redd212

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that your wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer.  What you are feeling is perfectly natural.  There is a couple of other forum you can join as well.  There's the family and friends forum where you can get support from other family members whose loved ones are going through cancer and there is the carer's only forum where you can get support from others who are caring for their loved ones going through cancer.  Here's the link to both: Family and friends forum , Carers only forum .

Wishing you and your wife the best of luck with whatever is ahead of you both.

Best wishes
