  • Hi Lammerknowes 

    Welcome to the forum.

    This time last year I was grade 3 her2neg, erpostitve and prpositive. I had lumpectomy with sentinels removed. I had chemo, radiotherapy and now on hormone suppressants. I get 6 monthly bone infusions for 3 years.

    I have been where you ate and it's a worry. However when you know exactly what your facing and treatment plan, you can take back an element of control.

    It's great what treatments are available now.

    I wish you well in your recovery. Happy to answer questions on my journey if it's helpful.

    Take care of yourself, listen to your body, and use all the supports available xx
