Grade 3 breast cancer

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  If I can give you a piece of advice, don't google your type of breast cancer as the information on google is years out of date.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

Thank you so much  im only goggling the names of things that I'm not understanding to get more information. 

Thank you xx Sorry to hear about your story too. Did your surgery and things happen quickly. Every one is saying to me that things are moving quickly but I'm worried as I don't have a surgery date or a plan yet.

That's the thing I'm trying to be so positive and strong about it all but then I have a wave of what if I don't beat this xx

It felt like a lifetime the waiting I found lump April didn't get appointment at breast clinic till May. I was diagnosed then. Operation was June 5th. Then the wait to inform of type and grade. I received the information via telephone. I thought i was having radiotherapy however they informed me as it was grade 3 my best chance would be chemo first to kill off any rouge cells. Chemo was July to September, radiotherapy was in October. Once you have a treatment plan they all follow one and other very quickly. 

My biggest fear was I wanted it cut out of me as soon as possible. I was scared it would spread. The nurses reassured me that it takes longer than we imagine for any spread to happen. 

I hope this gives you some reassurance. 

Every stage has its worries. This forum is good for discussing these. Even now in remission if I have a pain my first thought is have they missed something. My rational thoughts then take over. I can then reassure myself I've had treatments and am on hormone suppressant to prevent it returning. 

Good luck with your treatment plan and recovery xx
