Hi everyone
I was diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer a month ago. I'm trying to keep as positive as possible. When I first found out I burst into tears not for myself but thinking about my young daughter and not wanting to leave her. I've been going through assessments MRI, biopsies, ultrasounds had appointment every week.
Monday I have to go in for a procedure (vaccum) to take out some B3 cells. Then will have to wait the week after to hopefully find out what my plan is. I've got fantastic support around with friends and family checking in on me. But it still doesn't feel like it's sunk in. I tend to not think about it and when i do I'm trying to stay possible but then on the other hand I get moments where I'm petrified.
Just want it out of me now
Hi C28
Welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer. Breast cancer is very treatable and they keep coming up with new treatments all the time. If I can give you a piece of advice, don't google your type of breast cancer as the information on google is years out of date. Rely on sites like this one and Breast Cancer Now for your information.
Wishing you the best of luck with procedure and with the results.
Best wishes

Hi C82,
Sorry you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry too much.
It is a scary time and I've been where you are.
I was diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer May this year. I've had my lumpectomy and sentinels removed. Chemo and radiotherapy. I am now on daily hormone suppressants with 6 monthly bone infusions.
I am in remission. Back to yearly checks for next 5 years.
Like you I was beside myself with stress and worry. I was scared to even say the word cancer.
However I wanted to try to give you some reassurance that treatments are very effective these days.
Good luck with your recovery journey. Please use the forum for support and to ask questions. Also use the macmillan nurses and cancer care. Xx
