Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, after a routine mammogram at the end of March. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind as I’ve had the lump removed and two lymph nodes. The lymph nodes were clear and the surgeon was happy he’d taken everything away. Yesterday I was given a plan to move forward of 12 weeks chemotherapy and then 5 days radiotherapy. I will also need to have the herceptin injection every three weeks for a year and they have offered a further injection every three months for three years for my bones. I honestly feel like I am on a rollercoaster at the minute but I’m so grateful that I had the routine mammogram as the lump was 9mm and I wasn’t unwell and couldn’t feel it x
