Newly diagnosed

hi I was diagnosed with grade 3 cancer in 2020. I found a  22mm lump that wasn’t picked up on a mammogram, had spread to one lymph node  had lumpectomy and the lymph nodes removed. Fingers crossed all good now 5 years down the line. Wishing you all the best xxx

Hi Yarcombgirl,  It’s the worst time waiting for results, did they give you any information at the breast clinic as I was told there that  it was positive for cancer. 
It is a shock to be told but once you get your treatment plan you just want to get on with it.

I was 75 at diagnosis and living alone but my daughter has been a wonderful support.

good luck for Friday and great you have the support of your husband X

Thank you Skylark. I was hopeful it was a cyst but the doctor said definitely no but what kind of cancer to be determined on Friday. It’s the not knowing that’s worse isn’t it. I need something to fight against. 

Thank you Cazh24, that’s really good news and has given me hope for the same 

Best of luck and let us know how you get on X

Hi, hope today went well x

Hi,  Hope all went well for you on Friday and that you have your plan of action. Xxx

Type 3 estrogen aggressive cancer and also cancer in the lymph node   awaiting results on receptor (next Friday) as to go down chemo route or surgery and radiotherapy route. 

feel very positive now that I know the options x

Git the diagnosis of type 3 oestrogen cancer also present in lymph nodes. Awaiting receptor results next Friday as to whether I need chemo and surgery or surgery and radiotherapy xxx

My diagnosis was Her2 triple positive and started chemotherapy 5days before Christmas 2023

Try not to worry - easier said than done I know but the anticipation of these things are far worse than the procedures and you are looked after so well.

I am twelve months on from surgery now and feel blessed that it was found early and have been offered every treatment option available regardless of my age.

• Take care and let us know how you get on. Xxx
